Information on Employee Monitoring Software

Employee productivity falls to such lows during the Holiday season that some companies actually shut down this time of year. Inappropriate Internet use in the workplace only makes matters worse, but with good computer monitoring software employers can minimize their losses without significant damage to employee morale.

The Detroit Free Press reveals that for most of America, "business slows to a trickle" this time of year. People are under pressure to meet year-end goals, and are often juggling these alongside family obligations.

Did you know: Employee productivity dips most dramatically in the 2 weeks preceding Christmas?

And then, there's the shopping.

It's not an accident that employee productivity dips most dramatically in the 2 weeks preceding Christmas; this is prime shopping time, and Internet use in the workplace rises dramatically as a result. People are also booking travel arrangements, communicating with family and friends, and generally avoiding work. "Cyber Monday," the online equivalent to Black Friday and the official start to the holiday shopping season, begins this trend in late November, and continues to rise through the holiday season until well after the first of the year.

And while some managers and employers allow their employees more downtime during the holiday season, it isn't fair that the company should suffer so much as to close down. American businesses lose billions of dollars a year in Internet use and lost employee productivity, and for many companies the lost revenue can seriously damage their bottom line.

Thankfully more and more companies are relying on computer monitoring software to put a cap on lost productivity without putting employee morale at risk. Employees who know that they're being monitored spend much less time online, and by leaving certain "free times" available for Internet use, employees won't feel cheated or bullied by the boss.

Awareness Tech's WebWatcher allows managers and employers the freedom to check up on employee Internet use from a remote location, combined with the power of website blocking, email recording, chat recording, and more. WebWatcher is also easy to install and easy to use, making it the perfect tool for keeping employees on track and protecting the company from unnecessary lost revenue.
