FAQs – Veriato Vision
Employee tracking software is used to track employee activities, attendance and productivity. This includes any kind of digital activity performed on a company-owned device (or company registered device).
It is not about spying on staff, but about protecting the business and streamlining processes. While employee tracking software certainly does provide added security, it also has a lot of additional benefits.
Managers can’t hover over their employees’ shoulders to see what’s on their computer screens, but they can use free employee tracking software to gain insight into their team’s activities. Tracking software acts as a digital time clock and productivity tracker. This allows you to ascertain their activities and understand their productivity and time-consuming tasks.
Many employers look for employee tracking software only once they become concerned about employee productivity. However, there are many additional improvements that this type of program brings to companies.
- Increased security
- Protection from insider attacks
- Increased focus
- More accuracy and fewer mistakes
- Errors are found faster, so cause fewer problems
- Processes can be optimized
- Reviews are based on real-time evidence and statistics
- Hard workers can be rewarded appropriately
With the massive amount of data that this kind of software collects about each individual being monitored, companies are able to focus on growth instead of micro management. Integrated AI analysis means issues are raised to management as they occur, allowing senior staff to focus on what really needs their attention.
Over time performance will likely increase across the board, and so the company can become far more efficient and profitable. This means that what started as employee tracking for productivity, can help to turn an average or even a struggling company into a stable,secure and profitable business.
Remote monitoring software is available for PCs, Macs, and Android devices. Once installed, it can run discreetly in the background.
This software will track and record detailed information about all the user’s activity. In fact, you can even access a history of the user’s web searches, idle time, instant messages, file movement, productivity, downloads, uploads, print jobs, USB device usage, network access, and more.
Every time a new program is opened, the software will automatically time how long it is used. This information is compiled into a productivity tracking report so you can see how your employees are spending the majority of their time.
Remote monitoring software also acts as a digital surveillance camera by recording the user’s screen. This allows you to ascertain their activities and understand their productivity and time-consuming tasks.
These are some of the many features of remote monitoring software that managers can use to lead their teams to success.
Employee monitoring software serves as a layer of insulation for the company. Unfortunately, companies can be victimized by their employees in numerous ways.
Financial theft is an obvious liability. Many companies use monitoring software to ensure financial oversight of accounting teams and others with financial data access.
Time theft is a different type of robbery that companies know exists but may be unsure how to prevent it. Time theft occurs when employees use company time for personal activities.
Concerned about the lack of productivity? Employee monitoring software can log every web site visited by each employee and how long they visited those sites. Monitoring software also lets employers glimpse at texts and IMs to understand how much time is being spent on internal/external communications.
Effective employee tracking software brings both peace of mind and more productive staff to the workplace. In today’s world of cyber-attacks and strict data protection laws, any company that falls foul to a breach could suffer terrible consequences.
GDPR is an EU data protection policy. It is strict and comes with heavy fines that have seen millions of Euros for data breaches or mismanagement of data. It applies to any company that stores data on someone that lives in the EU, regardless of where the company is located. This alone makes data protection a priority.
Moreover, company data is valuable, even when it isn’t consumer related. Trade secrets, suppliers, internal emails and more can all devastate a company if leaked. When staff takes data home on devices or USBs, if uncontrolled, the data can be accidentally leaked through device loss or other people accessing the devices.
Employee tracking software helps to make sure that this doesn’t happen, by monitoring the transfer of files, staff behavior, reporting on key activities, and even remotely securing devices.
As an additional benefit, when employees know that their activities are being tracked, they tend to perform better. This results in more focus on work-related tasks, instead of killing time or social activities. If combined with regular reviews and rewards for productive employees, employee time tracking software can revolutionize employee attitudes and productivity.
