If you want productivity, offer flexibility: Trust your people and give them time to take care of themselves.

Keys to innovation when working from anywhere - Innovation comes from Happiness:  With flexibility comes happiness, energy and more creative head space.

Flexibility offers commitment across the team: With flexibility, team members make themselves available to their team members. As a result, team members are also there for the team leader.  Team members have the emotional energy and the bandwidth, because they're in this more flexible environment where they have more opportunity to breathe and take care of themselves and their families.
