Yes, employees have become more reactive than proactive. This is especially unfortunate if you are in sales or creative roles. At our company, in WFH the company communication is much better, the use of Teams & 1on1 during the pandemic has removed what use to be more like departmental islands. Reactive, meaning people process out their tasks like, emails, to-do, meetings, but it tends to fill there day checking off all these boxes. In proactive roles you need creativity to chase the goals, and management needs to coach their goals...I find that proactive part of job responsibilities are falling off the table. We have moved to a hybrid schedule so their is consistent facetime for development, employeed feedback/discussion, and manager coaching. It is changing our business, and Q4 is/has shown a recovery.
