With billions of dollars being lost every year due to this, work productivity in the office and work place is not a minor issue. Instead of undertaking word processing, research, and business tasks with their work computer, employees are using the computer for other, more personal uses.  These “tasks” can range from internet instant messaging, sending personal emails, playing internet games, browsing inappropriate material, and many other non-work related tasks. So how does an employer get their employees off their computer and back on work?

Offering incentives for achieving work goals ahead of schedule is a simple way to provide a means of getting your employees on track. This can range to a small paycheck bonus, an office party, or if it will provide the company with millions of dollars, you can even arrange a small getaway vacation for your employees. However, all of this means money out of your businesses pocket, and that can add up over many incentive giveaways.

Setting up surveillance cameras is a good way to let your employees know you will always have your eye on them.  However, with hardware based security and surveillance systems, you run into many problems. They are not cheap by any means, and can take days or weeks to install depending on their complexity. They can only see what is happening on the other side of the lens, and their resolution and capture speed isn’t high enough to actually view what is happening on an employee’s computer. You may also run into problems with the law.

The best way to increase productivity is to limit what an employee can do with their computer. Installing internet filtering and surveillance software on your computers and servers is an easy way to stop your employees accessing inappropriate content on their computers. It can also be used to view what is happening on their computer. What are they typing and what programs are being opened? It is nearly essential in the business and computer world to have software that lets you control what your employees can do on the internet, as it could save your company millions of dollars in lost productivity.
