FAQs about employee monitoring software

What is employee monitoring software?

Employee monitoring software is a technology used by businesses to gather digital activity data about their employees in order to understand how they work and find areas for improvement. While monitoring is sometimes associated with employee surveillance, its true value is in helping managers identify ineffective workflows and increase workforce productivity.

Employee monitoring software allows managers to see which applications and websites are being used, track working and productive time, and identify potential security risks such as data breaches in real-time. By using a software-based tool, managers can gather activity data for in-office and remote employees — then use insights to improve workflows and enhance team performance.

What data does employee monitoring software track?

There are several types of employee monitoring software solutions that can collect a wide range of digital activity data such as email usage, internet and application activity, time, attendance and location information. For most solutions, this information is collected in real-time and is accessible through a digital dashboard.

ActivTrak’s software tracks:

  • When employees are online or offline, including start and end times total with world duration
  • Which apps and websites are being used by employees
  • Productive time across focus, collaboration and multitasking categories
  • Workload balance to identify and prevent potential burnout

 

Why is employee monitoring software important?

Employee monitoring software allows companies to see the root cause of costly distractions, rebalance workloads, identify opportunities for improvement, and identify security risks before they can become larger issues.

According to businessnewsdaily.com, American businesses lose $650 billion per year from distracted employees. Distraction can come from frequent context switching, unproductive processes, unnecessary intrusions, or a lack of focus. Successful, data-driven companies use the insights and analytics that employee monitoring software gives them to increase productivity and efficiency, boost sales and revenue, and strengthen employee satisfaction and retention.

How is remote employee monitoring conducted?

Remote employee monitoring is conducted through software on a user’s computer. User activity is gathered and sent to a database where administrators can see individual activity and analyze it for further understanding around productivity, collaboration, engagement, policy control, workload balance, and other critical metrics.

Remote employee monitoring solutions, like ActivTrak, collect and analyze remote worker activity to help businesses get the visibility they need. Our employee monitoring software provides critical data around time management, website and technology usage, and active or passive time. We also explain how this data relates to productivity, which is key to understanding the success or failures of your remote teams.

What is ActivTrak’s approach to employee monitoring software?

Improving productivity requires the collection and monitoring of data to establish a baseline upon which you can measure improvement. We know employee monitoring and activity analysis have a mixed history and association with surveillance and heavy oversight. ActivTrak intends to change that by focusing on the real output of employee monitoring: improved productivity.

We designed ActivTrak from an ethical standpoint: with the guiding principles of transparency, collaboration, and informed insight. We’ve intentionally developed a powerful platform that focuses on the collection of contextual data, avoiding intrusive employee monitoring technologies like keystroke logging and video surveillance.

We challenge the users of our product to join us on our journey to move employee monitoring from the age of oversight and into the results and data-driven space that is productivity insights and optimization of work.
