It could be difficult to manage a group of people who have PCs at their desks. You may watch your employees. It might look like a very busy room. And at the same time they might be simply writing their blog or reading news. Should you try to spying on them? Or is there probably a more honest and transparent way of computer monitoring?
In the past the choice for superiors who wanted some control was limited. Only spyware was available for computer monitoring . Spyware is perceived as evil because it violates the privacy of your employing by taking screen shots, stores key strikes and monitors traffic. With spyware you have more control than you would want. What happens is that workers begin having bad thoughts about you. You can lose respect of your people, because you are effectively violating their privacy.
There's good news as well. We have produced a special program that effectively resolves the issue. It is a system of employee monitoring called Work Examiner. It allows for transparent system of monitoring and self monitoring that does not violate privacy, because it monitors the time spent online rather than traffic (unlike various proxies). The flexible reporting system produces a lot of very useful information that you would definitely prefer to random print screens done while doing internet monitoring.
