Frequently asked questions about remote workforce management:
What is remote workforce management?
Remote workforce management is a method of employee monitoring that allows a business to manage remote employees and teams. Typically, remote workforce management starts with using software to gather user activity data, delivering views of that data to administrators to allow remote managers to see insights on productivity, communication, collaboration, and other critical business metrics. Remote workforce management is a unique form of employee monitoring as it helps to handle the exclusive needs of remote employees.
Why is workforce management important?
Workforce management is important because without it managers lack the visibility they need to truly understand key performance metrics critical to business success.
Having a remote workforce presents unique challenges: creating team cohesion, ensuring remote teams are collaborating appropriately, ensuring that individuals have the tools they need to do their work the most efficiently, just to name a few. Remote workforce solutions give you the best visibility into individual and team performance, reducing the risk of creating a workforce that is unproductive, inconsistent, or unbalanced. These issues can lead to unnecessary employee attrition, a decrease in employee engagement, or overall organizational failure.
How do you effectively manage a remote workforce?
By collecting and analyzing remote worker user activity and using those insights to determine if your employees and teams are meeting critical productivity goals. Remote workforce management software, like ActivTrak, can help you monitor and manage your remote workforce by correlating critical metrics around time management, website and technology usage, and active or passive time to productivity. This visibility is key to understanding the success or failures of your remote teams.
What is ActivTrak’s approach to remote workforce management and employee monitoring?
