问题     Remote work is about more than just working from home—it means working differently. Organizations should reconsider the appropriateness of their performance evaluation procedures in light of the shift to remote work. This requires a fundamental rethinking of what organizations expect from employees and what companies would look for in a model employee in a remote work context.
    It is likely that the "first to arrive and last to leave" mentality is no longer relevant, but should be replaced by a regard for the quality of an employee’s contribution to the organization. This means that work should be measured in terms of the quality of the work, not just the quality of the process. As remote work is largely unobservable to supervisors, employers need to think about how they can objectively measure the quality of work in a way that is consistent for employees of similar rank.
    Focusing on output alone can have unintended consequences. Employers should think instead about the values and soft skills they want to emphasize in a remote work environment. Qualities like flexibility and the ability to work under minimal supervision might become critical.
    Much has been written about the importance of timely feedback. In the context of a global pandemic (大流行病) , firms may want to provide additional support to employees by providing more frequent communication. This allows managers to both keep an eye on struggling employees and provide ongoing feedback on how employees are adapting to their new work environment.
    Compensation also needs to be revisited. The purpose of performance evaluation is ultimately to determine how to reward employees for their work. This means that pay structures need to adapt to the reality of working from home. However, organizations also need to be honest with employees about the financial impact of COVID-19.
    For organizations that have struggled to keep the lights on due to the pandemic, this might mean thinking of non-financial ways to reward employees, like unpaid time off or flexible work schedules. Employers can also consider how to bundle different types of compensation to help employees cope with their unique situations.
What should be prioritized in assessing employees’ remote work?
选项 A、The quantity of their output.
B、The length of their work time.
C、The quality of their contribution.
D、The flexibility of their work schedules.
答案C
解析 根据题干关键词assessing employees’ remote work可以将答案定位到第二段第二句。题干中的assessing同义替换原文中的measure。第二段第二句指出，这意味着工作应该根据工作的质量来衡量，而不仅仅是过程的质量。员工的工作就是对公司的贡献，所以说要优先考虑他们的贡献质量，故本题选C。选项A文章中没有提及，可以排除。第二段第一句指出，“第一个到，最后一个走”的思维方式很可能不再重要，所以工作时长不是优先考虑项，B与原文不符，可排除。选项D是根据下文出现的flexibility一词设置的干扰，下文是说员工最好能够有灵活性，不是优先考虑员工工作日程的灵活性。
