What they really need to do to this counterproductivity tool is remove the ability for managers to see anything about any of their underlings, and for anyone else to see anything but aggregated and anonymized data. (Which means adding noise to the data.)

That sounds like exactly what they did? (only company-wide averages, adding noise is not really needed)
