Monitor remote workers

In today’s world of remote workers, it is becoming more and more likely that you will have to manage a partially remote workforce. When someone says they are working from home, does this mean they are actually being productive? If you issued them a computer to work at home, exactly how is it being used? Would you want to unwittingly sanction the use of gambling programs or other recreational uses with a computer you supplied your employee?

Improve performance

With ActivTrak, it is possible to review and understand user’s activities, causing employees to follow acceptable use policies and to perform their job to the standards you lay out. By having a tool to quantify the amount of time a user works on a given task, it is possible to coach users to focus more on productive endeavours. It can also offer the feedback required to help ensure employees are not engaging in activities that might have a risk or liability for the organization.

Employee incentive

Users themselves can proactively work to a higher standard if they can check their own activities. When offered a view of what they are doing, users can frequently find ways to improve their own behaviors so that they optimize their own time when using a computer or the web. Some employers may be able to tie this effort into a bonus program, creating even higher levels of productivity from user’s self directed improvements.

Improve reporting for billing of services

Many organizations also bill for the time used on behalf of a client. With ActivTrak, it is possible for the solution to monitor and track the usage of given applications, which can make billing easier. With more accurate billing, it is possible to increase revenue for professional services with computer use.
