Many business and company owners are investing
in smart phone monitoring software. It's a cheap and easy way to monitor your
employees' activities. It's also very practical, because you can do it in your
office or from any computer. What the software does is give you access to their
conversations, text messages, photos and other type of information that goes
through the smart phones that you provide them with.
There are many reasons why you need to monitor your employees, and I'm sure that you already have a few ideas in your head
about how you could use smart phone monitoring software in your company. But
here are some more reasons for you to ponder:
1. You don't have time.
Sometimes, you need to trust your employees.
In fact, that's the reason you hire people, because you can't do anything by
yourself. And you need those people to do the job without your supervision, or
as less supervision as possible. If you need to be behind an employee to watch
if he's doing his job the way he's supposed to, then you might as well do the
job yourself and save the money you're paying him. However, you don't only have
one employee and you have things to do yourself, so using such a program will
let you supervise more employees in a much shorter amount of time.
2. Employees aren't completely honest.
Sadly, you know this is true. And dishonesty
can take many forms. For example, some employees may lie about their
qualifications. Others may use office supplies for personal use. Also, as you
know, they often lie about their expenses reports. There are even some who take
money from the cash register. However, it's not enough to steal from the boss,
they have to tell their friends and family, and that's when you can catch them.
3. Employees are sometimes lazy and
unproductive.
No surprise here. When the cat's away, the
mice will play. If they don't see you, they will start to decrease their
productivity. Now, employees know that if they spend time on Facebook or
websites, there are ways to catch them, so they will instead use their smart
phones. But if you use the monitoring software, you'll know what sites they
visit and at what time. Again, because being paid for playing games or reading
tweets is so attractive, they will show it off with friends.
4. It allows you to know where your
employees are.
Many employees, due to the nature of their
positions, have to go out of the company. They may deliver goods, get packages,
visit clients or suppliers, go get permits or other documents from government
offices, etc. With time, they will start to use these trips to run their
personal errands. In fact, you've probably heard about employees who just like
about the reason they have to go out so that they can attend a personal event.
The software solves this problem by letting you know where your employees are
at all times. How? By working as a tracking device and displaying their
position for you to see. And if this weren't useful enough, it also lets you know
if employees are late or leaving early on those days when you're not at the
office.
Look, the world would be better if we didn't
have to use smart phone monitoring software. But we don't live in a perfect
world. And our companies are the source of food and shelter and clothing for
your family. So, any business owner has the right to protect the business that
they created with years of work and dedication.
