Remote work gained popularity due to the wide range of benefits it offers regardless of pandemic restrictions and the return to in-office work by many companies. Employees working from home often appreciate the enhanced work-life balance and the elimination of commute time to an office. However, remote work also presents challenges, especially for managers who require assistance monitoring remote employees' productivity throughout the day.

Talygen has introduced remote employee monitoring tools like time trackers and screenshot trackers. These tools enable managers to enhance company productivity and streamline workflows by effectively tracking their remote teams' activities.

The top five benefits of using these tools will be explained below:

1. Know What Remote Employees Are Doing

When managers use tools like time and screenshot trackers, they can know what remote employees do throughout the workday. The time tracker measures how long it takes to complete a particular task, while the screenshot tracker periodically takes screenshots of a user's device and sends them to the manager. Some screenshot trackers also measure metrics such as mouse clicks and keystrokes. These tools can help managers determine if remote employees are productive or spend working hours doing other things, such as online shopping or social media. Also, managers can use screenshot trackers to see if employees are engaging in malicious behavior that threatens the organization's data.

2. Provide Better Feedback

Once managers of remote companies know what their staff is doing throughout the day, they can give employees better feedback. Managers can use metrics gathered from the time tracker and the screenshot tracker to see if they can do anything to help employees who are slacking off to be more productive. These concerns can be accurately addressed during performance reviews. In turn, employees can perform better once they receive supervisor feedback. The information gathered from the remote employee monitoring tools can also be used to prevent employee burnout. Managers can monitor employee working hours to see whether or not they are overworking themselves.

3. Assign Tasks to Employees Based on Productivity

By using remote team monitoring solutions, managers can better assess how much time, effort, and resources will be needed to complete a project. Managers can use the data gathered from a time tracker to see which employees are the most productive and assign them to work on the tasks with the highest priorities. When the best employees are assigned to projects, client relationships will improve.

4. Bill Clients Accurately

Companies can also send accurate bills and invoices to clients when they use remote employee monitoring tools. Managers can ensure that billing information is correct when they use time trackers to see how long it took for staff members to complete client-assigned projects.

5. Ensure Employees are Paid Accurately

Additionally, companies can ensure that employee paychecks are accurate using tools such as time trackers. With time trackers, data is collected onto timesheets that employees can submit to ensure they are paid accurately for their work hours. If there are any errors on the timesheets, employees can adjust them manually.

What to Do Before Using Remote Employee Monitoring Tools?

Before managers implement remote team monitoring solutions in their organizations, there are some things they must first do. First, they should inform employees that the software will be implemented beforehand. Therefore, employees will feel as though their privacy is being protected. Then, managers should train employees on how to use the software remotely via Zoom or Microsoft Teams. Training staff will ensure that inaccurate data will not be inputted into the system because employees will not turn off the time tracker when not working.

As many companies continue to embrace remote work, they should adopt remote employee monitoring tools like time and screenshot trackers. Businesses of all sizes and industries can significantly benefit from using these tools. Companies that want the most efficient remote team monitoring solution should use Talygen. Talygen's time and screenshot tracker can help remote companies increase their productivity. Talygen also includes modules like customer relationship management and project management to enhance productivity.
