We're thinking of implementing telecommuting in our business.
How can we be sure that telecommuters are working from home? |
Scenario
- With the high cost of gas these days, your
employees are interested in telecommuting options.
The problem -
Sometimes telecommuters are perceived, rightly or
wrongly, as not working as hard as those in a normal office environment.
This can cause dissent among workers who do not telecommute. On the
other hand, invasive monitoring of telecommuters' work-at-home habits
will probably have a detrimental effect on their morale.
The solution -
WinLocate has a useful feature that allows you to
select the days and times when you want it to report computer activity.
Plus, it is non-invasive in that it simply reports activity levels.
While it detects key presses and mouse clicks, it does not actually
record actual keyboard input, screen captures, or personal information
whatsoever. Telecommuters welcome the opportunity to provide proof that
they are performing as well as their office bound counterparts.
WinLocate lets this happen, and with no loss of privacy. WinLocate lets
you compare activity levels between office employees as well as others
working off site while maintaining morale among the troops.

Who's working
harder? |
Scenario -
Jim and Mary are
customer service reps for your company and their jobs include answering
customer email inquiries. When you walk by their desks, they both seem
to be working at the same rate of productivity.
The problem -
Customers are
complaining that they are not always getting the information they need
or in a timely manner. How can you tell whether Jim or Mary is being
productive?
The solution -
You log into your
WinLocate account and click on Jim's computer then Mary's. You compare
the keystrokes per minute and you see that Mary types twice as much as
Jim. You also see that Jim uses much more bandwidth than Mary. What is
going on? Well, Jim probably spends more time surfing the Internet and
Mary spends more time and provides more detailed answers when responding
to customer email.

I think someone is using my computer when I'm not there! Will
WinLocate tell me? |
Scenario
- You notice that things seem to be different on
your computer and suspect someone is using your computer when
you are away.
The problem -
Maybe this is your personal home computer, or
maybe you work in a small office where forced logins and complicated
security measures are not necessary. In cases like these it is easy for
someone to simply turn the computer on do whatever they want to, and the
risk of discovery is minimal. Maybe it's the babysitter, the
housekeeper, the janitor or a co-worker. Knowing what times your
computer was used would allow you to take the necessary steps to prevent
the problem from happening again.
The solution -
You can install WinLocate on your own computer and
you will be able to see when your computer was turned on, when someone
logged in, and get details on how long it was in use and the level of
activity. Even if you are on vacation, you can still log into your
WinLocate account and check to see if your computer is being used.
