Managers can stroll around cubicles and in offices to observe what employees are working on and ask for progress reports. They can also spot physical cues of unproductivity, like absent-mindedness or task aversion. Remote managers, on the other hand, have the unique opportunity to harness trust and technology to determine whether employees are working. This technological empowerment allows them to manage their remote teams, even without physical proximity, effectively.

Remote desktop monitoring (RDP) software allows individuals or IT administrators to access, control, and monitor computers remotely over a network connection. It offers functionalities like live viewing of desktop activities, remote control for support and system management tasks, and detailed reporting on user activities and system health. RDP software plays a crucial role in ensuring productivity, security, and effective management of IT resources.

Whether monitoring security risks or checking an employee’s use of work time, there are several reliable ways to track a team’s computer activity, including software. Choosing a tool that works for the organization requires some forethought and planning, as well as a thorough vetting process that considers company policy and culture without eroding workforce trust and the management team’s credibility.

Did you know that around 45% of working Americans have a side hustle (a secondary job) that they work alongside their current job? With costs rising and many feeling underpaid, it’s become widespread for people to pursue dual employment. This practice of working two jobs concurrently is called “moonlighting.” While moonlighting can be a way for employees to earn extra income, it does pose potential risks for employers.

The employee monitoring, workforce analytics, and workforce productivity monitoring industry has a healthy collection of software. A few new entrants have entered this space, and traditional DLP and cybersecurity providers are also tweaking their solutions to meet market demands. It’s an exciting time to invest in an employee monitoring solution. While Teramind is one of the most popular products, we know some Teramind alternatives have unique features of their own.

ActivTrak and Teramind are employee monitoring tools that offer workforce analytics, time tracking, and keystroke logging features. But only Teramind offers comprehensive user activity monitoring, user behavior analytics, insider threat detection, data loss prevention (DLP), business process optimization (BPO), and more. The main differences between these solutions are that: This teardown will look at each provider’s available functionality, pricing, user experience, user reviews, and more.

Today’s businesses are more data-conscious than ever. Decision-makers crunch numbers before launching a new product, while planning marketing campaigns, and when considering budget cuts. However, another area of business can benefit from some number crunching: Businesses are now using analytics to gain insights into their workforce. You’ll find a variety of reasons to use analytics to measure your workforce, but first, it can help define workforce analytics and show how it can be used.

Business process optimization isn’t a novel concept. In many ways, it’s as old as business itself, as forward-thinking leaders and entrepreneurs have always sought to perform better work more efficiently and effectively. However, the concept has taken on renewed importance as companies grapple with a rapidly changing business environment impacted by shifting consumer trends, unique hiring challenges, technological innovation, and other industry-specific changes.

Teramind’s AI team has uncovered evidence that roughly 7% of employees actively “fake” digital work activity. Let’s define exactly what that means and why it may be a bigger deal than you think.
