Linux Staff Monitoring: When Demand Means Supply / Hubr
Studying today's market of our potential customers we, to our
own surprise, came to the conclusion that the majority of large
companies, which need personnel monitoring and time tracking in Linux. As it turned out, small and medium
businesses prefer Linux systems for one simple reason - it is much
cheaper. And since businesses are moving to Linux, HR tools should
be supported and widely used in this environment.
Effective HR
management requires a clear understanding of what each individual
employee and the department as a whole is doing. This is especially
evident in the example of one of our clients. His company includes
several large departments, namely: All three of these departments
do their work using Linux-based computers.
However, the specifics
of the work are so different that it is difficult to perform a
quality analysis of the work without using additional tools.
Choosing our Linux-based employee monitoring product Monitask, our
client was able to solve this issue for all the departments.Let us
remember how timekeeping and productivity measurement used to be
performed. At the entrance to the plant, there was a method of
carding the time when an employee came in for his shift and the
time when he left the workplace.
Productivity, on the other hand,
was measured by the amount of output. But those times are gone, and
now the working day begins with turning on the computer, and the
result of the work is not always a finished and tangible product
that can be measured in pieces. That is why tasks and methods of
their solution today are completely different from what they used
to be. Flexibility of settings, a wide range of possibilities and
informative reports are required. And most importantly, it all
should be automated and should not distract manager and
subordinates from their main work. All possibilities of personnel
monitoring software in Linux can be adjusted individually, so the
final report is as informative and correct as possible. Regardless
of the overall activity of the company and its size, the
functionality of the employee monitoring system in Linux allows you
to solve personnel management issues for any type of departments,
including the above mentioned as well as the marketing, design,
technical support, customer service departments, etc. For example,
the accounting department is the link in the company that knows
everything about everybody. Personal data of all employees, the
money turnover, details of each transaction.
In general, all that,
if it gets to third parties, can cause damage to the company and
its employees. To solve this issue, we offer a permanent record of
visited web-sites, screenshots with the name of the running
application and recording from web-cameras, so you can track
exactly who was using the computer at what time you are
interested.Software Development Department also requires a certain
record. To analyze each employee's productivity, we offer features
to assign and record the use of productive and unproductive
programs. Also, to maintain discipline in the department you should
activate the accounting of working hours and breaks. By the way,
the employee can view his productivity report himself, so he can
adjust his work.To monitor the call center in Linux, we have
created an additional tool - Lockscreen. Thanks to this feature,
there is no need to "bind" a computer to an employee. It is enough
to assign each employee his own account and the corresponding
password. Depending on who is using the computer at the moment, the
account will be kept and data will be sent to their profile. This
is very convenient if operators work in Linux in shifts or there is
a large turnover of staff in the office.
Depending on the size of
the company, its needs and capabilities, you can choose one of the
solutions: a cloud service with the possibility of separately
purchasing additional functions or a server version, which includes
all possible elements of monitoring and accounting.
