Employee Monitoring Software Maximizes Productivity
According to the American Management Association (AMA) 87% of employees surf non-related websites at work. And more than half do it every day.
And they're not just reading the news -- web use is becoming more and more problematic as employees use corporate computers to shop, chat with friends, gamble, and download porn.
But according to Wally Bock, author of "Performance Talk," it's not smart to limit all personal time on work computers -- it lowers morale and creates resentment.
The answer, he says, is to monitor your employees to avoid abuse of personal time. Let employees know that they are being monitored, and exactly how much time they are allowed to spend surfing the net.
This way, the net becomes a place for them to take a short break, and not a way to furnish their new apartment on the job.
We wholeheartedly agree with all of the above. It's sane. It's rational. It's fair to everyone. Our WebWatcher employee monitoring software is easy to install and use, and completely invisible, allowing you to maximize employee productivity and still maintain a positive work environment.
