What sort of problems arises when workers are unfamiliar with employee monitoring software?

The first barrier to introducing employee monitoring software is that no one has prior experience to work under such close monitoring. It is a new concept that comes with new regulations and often arises challenges while introducing to employees.

In the current state, around half of the workforce has admitted (49%) not having an employee monitoring software within their organizations. Moreover, 3 in 10 workers are not aware if they have an employee monitoring tool in action.

Experts in the HR sector have suggested that companies are highly unlikely to deploy a monitoring tool if they find employees to be productive without it. The idea behind it is that with the right time, space, and resources are given, employees can get the job done, and they will execute without any external force.

Still, there might be an increasing number of support from remote employees who do want a close monitoring system for employees.

Many people prefer to monitor productivity through other tactics:

1. Direct watch over employees: Meaning keeping on the employee while doing the job. Attend the sales calls, meetings, or research sessions to get direct feedback on employees' productivity. 
2. Verbal Communication: A preferred practice has been asking employees face to face regarding their work on the given morning, day, or week. Workers are supposed to explain their spend on working time when asked.
3. Self-monitoring tools: Instead of deploying an employee monitoring tool, employees are asked to use virtual checklists and productivity tools. The idea is that employees will be able to learn managing their own time.
4. Check employee database: If an employee manages a database, the manager can do a spot check on a few of the records. They can also review the drafts written by employees. This concept also prefers periodical checks on random samples.
