Disadvantages of Computer Monitor Software

Are you a business owner or manager wondering how productive your employees are during
business hours? If so, you’re certainly not alone. Questions about employee productivity have
increased significantly over the past few years, particularly since so many workers now have
access to the Internet. After all, the World Wide Web brings with it a tremendous amount of
temptation, and no employee is perfect.

If you’ve been tempted to use Computer Monitor Software to track your employees’ Internet
usage, think again. While some of these products may have limited usefulness in certain
situations, the cons definitely outweigh the pros.

    •   The reputation of “spy ware” and its effect on employee morale: Remote monitoring
        software is often referred to as “spy ware” because it’s so invasive. Once your
        employees find out that you’re “spying” on them, it will only serve to erode both their
        trust and their motivation. If they weren’t wasting time at work before, they most
        certainly will once they discover that you’ve been monitoring their Internet usage.

    •   Remote Monitoring Software is ineffective: Even the most sophisticated software can’t
        track all of your employees’ Internet usage. Consider how many workers now carry
        smart phones or notepad computers with them to work. You may be able to track their
        Internet use on their work computers, but how about their smart phones and
        notepads? The truth is that no matter how much money you spend on monitoring
        software, your employees will still have access to the Internet.

    •   It doesn’t solve the problem of lack of employee productivity: Let’s assume that you’ve
        purchased some type of monitoring software. You’ve installed it, and you’ve gathered
        information about which employees are visiting which web sites during the workday.
        Now that you have that information, how will you use it? Will you admonish or
        discipline the employees that have wasted precious work time? And if you do, will that
        make them more productive? The fact is that if employees want to waste time during
        work hours, they will find a way to do so whether you monitor their Internet usage or
        not.

The only real solution to making your employees more productive is to motivate them to do so.
Tracking their Internet usage is obviously not the answer. Measuring their productivity and
providing them with good reasons to perform better at their jobs is the only real, permanent
solution. Rather than spending a lot of money on tracking software that won’t resolve the issue,
find instead innovative software that helps you to measure each employee’s productivity. After
that, establish performance standards that each worker must meet, and provide incentives that
will make them want to do a better job.
