Question

Monitoring Employee Activity

Jul 5, 2017 12:21PM PDT

I suspect that one of my employees is reading his Kindle Cloud Reader on his work computer excessively. Isn't there a way to track this in the system logs? If so, is there any way to determine if she is active in the program or if it is just sitting open in the background?

Here are three suitable solutions

Not good that your employees are reading (though it became less cool) instead of doing their tasks.

Here is my selection: Activtrack.com, Controlio.net, Hubstaff.com. Currently, I've picked the second one for testing in our company. All three tools have pretty similar functional that includes screen capture (or screenshots), keylogger, active/idle apps (exactly what you need), Internet activity with pretty clear reporting.

These solutions are PC only, but I think it's exactly what you're looking for. I hope it helps!

With Trello, you begin by organizing and customizing lists for all of your tasks, including the needed steps in order to accomplish it, the separate parts of an individual task, and which team member has been assigned to each task. Once you’ve done this, you can add your tasks to the designated lists. From here you’ll use the notifications menu to monitor all activity for each task, including comments, due dates, and checklists.
An added bonus of Trello is their power-up options which include a calendar view of tasks, voting options on tasks, and automatic deletion of old tasks from viewing.
