Various IT companies and business firms use employee monitoring software to keep a track of their employees’ online activities and work done by them during working hours. The employee monitoring software gives various facilities. It can prevent the company from malware attacks, online threats and the leakage of confidential information. The software can also increase the productivity level of employees which would be beneficial for the firms.
Apart from so many benefits, the employee monitoring software has some drawbacks too. It can lead to the feeling of privacy insecurity among some employees because they may think that they are being monitored even after working hours and their private information is at stake. Some employers monitor the activities of employees without telling them, which is completely wrong. In some cases, the employees may feel that their employer do not trust them. In such cases, they should be made aware about the fact that the software is not to spy them instead, it is a way to increase productivity and keep things at check as per the policies of the company.
