And it also alerts the responsible person if an employee is wasting too much time doing something else.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a software which is generally used by employers to increase productivity and decrease wastage of the company\u2019s valuable time.

You can use monitoring tools like Empmonitor, ActivTrak, etc to keep an eye on your employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #086e5e;\">Here&#8217;s how you can check the productivity of your employees &#8211;<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><em> <a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/3eDcqTCcCJc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">EmpMonitor Video<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"EmpMonitor Video\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3eDcqTCcCJc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main reason behind this tracking is that employees are often found to be misusing the company\u2019s resources, by surfing the internet or using mobile.

It is both illegal and unethical, so it is best if you are upfront with your employees about the tracking software.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can inform them while they are joining your company or when they are in their training period. By telling them everything, you are free from any acquisition of spying on employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another thing you can do is formulate a well-written policy covering all the areas that you are going to be monitoring\/tracking in employees. And after making a policy hand it over to the employee when he\/she is signing up for the job so that they can learn more about tracking software and clear their doubts.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #eb5d0c;\"><b>Be Vary While Tracking<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracking is good and beneficial as long as you follow the rules and don\u2019t overdo it.

So, how do you minimize the use of mobile phones?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Banning the usage of mobile phones inside the office is prohibited as you can\u2019t stop the employee from using their own resources. You can ask the employees to keep it\u2019s usage to the minimum, but asking them to not use it at all is wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #eb5d0c;\"><b>Use Of Internet<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Internet is the most important thing in an office, and also the most abused one.

Companies there allow their employees to take a nap during working hours inside the office. And this is why you will find employees sleeping in the office in China. It is a great technique to increase mental awareness and to reduce stress, which increases productivity. Therefore, giving people a little free time works wonders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #eb5d0c;\"><b>Avoid Real-Time Tracking<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/empmonitor.in\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/empmonitor.in\/pricing noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1750 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/empmonitor.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Avoid-Real-Time-Tracking-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.empmonitor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Avoid-Real-Time-Tracking.png 1024w, https:\/\/staging.empmonitor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Avoid-Real-Time-Tracking-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.empmonitor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Avoid-Real-Time-Tracking-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People always confuse Real-time tracking with Real-Time Monitoring; both are different.

Here employers need to track them outside the office building in order to see if they are working or not. In such cases, it is an exception, as companies generally provide their own device which they track.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, you must avoid Real-Time tracking, and if you fall under the above category, then more power to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #571010;\"><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There you have it, five different ways with the help of which you can maintain a healthy environment in your office.
