Planning to shift to a remote work from home employee soon? Do you want to try your luck at a work from home job in the comfort of your home? But are you still determining how you will monitor your employees and make sure they are working away diligently on their projects while you stay at a distance as a supervisor or manager?

With the increasing prevalence of remote work arrangements in all-sized companies, managers need to ensure that the time spent by their remote resources working from home is productive. This article explores the advantages of remote employee monitoring software, particularly for those new to the work-from-home setup.

With the implementation of remote employee monitoring software, employers can resolve the purpose of keeping track of employees' work activities and ensuring that tasks are being completed efficiently. The tools help to log work hours, track activities, and more. It's advisable to research and examine the features and functionalities offered by each platform to determine which best suits the needs of your remote workforce.

One of the most essential things the software can do is check whether or not an employee has been logging in to his computer during work time.

Other Major Features:

#1: Track Working Hours

Trackers like Talygen mark down when you start and finish your day at work; over time, it will automatically determine your working hours. This is great if someone in your team works off of a flexible schedule or has an erratic workday compared to the rest of his team members. It also makes it easier for supervisors to know if someone has been slacking off because now they have the time stamp to compare with.

#2: Manage Invoices

This feature is only available in specific employee monitoring software, so check with your provider before buying. However, managing your invoices from the same place where you can monitor your employee's working hours or location would be a massive plus for anyone looking for the most convenient remote employee management solution. Checking your employees' credentials and purchasing orders from the same place is always easier.

#3: Mobile Apps

The mobile apps for some of these programs are handy. So, if you want to check your employees' work history even when you're not at the office, this feature is a must-have.

#4: Collaboration with Global Employees

If you have employees working for you from another country, check if the software also features other languages or the ability to work with different time zones. This feature will be handy to keep your global team on track and ensure they're getting their work done even when they're off work.

#5: Unified Communication

This is one of the most sought-after features for telecommuting employees. A unified communication feature will let you send a message to your entire team instantly, and you can inform them about any changes or updates they need to know immediately.

Bottom Line

Remote employee monitoring software is a great way to track what your employees are doing and ensure the work is getting done. The software can help you stay on top of your employee's working hours for billing purposes and even assess their productivity throughout the day if you need to raise or adjust their salaries.
