But presence and productivity are not always the same thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Across the team, small habits had developed over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Short conversations that lasted longer than planned.
