Remote work is now a permanent part of how many organizations operate. As distributed teams become more common, managers face a real challenge: how to monitor remote employees in a way that supports productivity and accountability without harming trust or morale. Traditional management relied heavily on physical presence. Managers could see who was busy, who stayed late, and who seemed disengaged. In remote environments, those signals disappear.

A new report from eSam, Sweden's public sector digital collaboration initiative, addresses a challenge familiar to government IT teams across Europe: how do we enable collaboration across agency boundaries while maintaining control of our infrastructure and data?

Proxy attendance (aka buddy punching) at the workplace happens when one employee clocks in or out for another. It inflates payroll, creates compliance risks, and weakens trust. The most effective fix for this is automated, login-based office attendance tracking software or purpose-built employee monitoring software for office teams that ties time to individual user sessions.

When you use visibility as a proxy for productivity, you end up managing appearances instead of outcomes. You reward those who stay late, not those who solve hard problems. You notice who’s physically nearby, not who’s quietly delivering impact. Over time, this creates distorted decisions, uneven performance reviews, and frustrated high performers.
