You don’t need to measure at scale, you just ask each supervisor to measure at micro-scale and provide more relevant feedback than a binary reader.

You "just" need thousands of employees to do additional labor. And then you need to process all of that data, including adjusting for the variability in how supervisors measure performance.
“How is your team doing on a scale from 1-10?” might be more valuable than adding up the number of minutes people are breathing the office air.
So if I said 8, what does that mean? What actions should be taken as a result? What value has been generated in collecting that data?

Attendance might not be a perfect proxy, but this is way worse.

8 means, ‘great, everyone is performing above expectations’
