My advice would be not to leave your young puppy (or even adult dog) outside in the yard unsupervised for extended periods of time while you are at work. While it seems like a good idea to give them "room to run", being in the yard is less than ideal for a number of reasons.
As your puppy grows, she may learn to climb or jump over the fence, or she may get bored and dig under. Passers-by will likely catch her attention and she may bark at them, which will be very annoying to your neighbors. Neighborhood kids and teenagers have also been known to taunt and tease dogs left in the yard, throwing sticks and rocks at them and the like. And lastly, someone may climb your fence and steal your puppy.
If your puppy needs to be outside in your absence, my recommendation would be to install a proper kennel run with a solid base and a roof overhead for shade, along with a dog house / covered area for her to go and get out of the weather. A kennel run that is properly built has the advantage that people will not be able to bother her as much (as it would be an enclosure inside a fenced area) and you can lock / secure it so people cannot steal her.
Personally, my recommendation would be that you crate train your puppy and crate her inside your home, or gate her off in one area of your home until she is old enough to be trusted home alone. This would be much safer for your puppy than staying outside.
