That is why to ensure your success it is your duty to make sure all your employees use the working hours most effectively and efficiently to impact positively in your company. Utilizing employee monitoring software is one way to ensure that your employees are not wasting their time.



Why CloudDesk is the best Employee Monitoring Software for SMB Owners?
​

Clouddesk employee monitoring software is a program through which you can monitor and track your employee’s activity. There are many different features CloudDesk offer, but one of the main features include time tracking with access to random screenshot and productivity level tracking. Many small business owners consider that these software are intended to micromanage employees and you might think you don’t need such software to maintain such a small group of people. However this is not true rather this software is suitable for all kinds of small-medium businesses, especially for those who have remote teams. CloudDesk is designed to make the lives of managers and employees much easier at the same time helping them to be proactive.


Top 5 reasons why small or medium-sized businesses need Employee Monitoring Software

Benefits of CloudDesk employee monitoring tools are numerous, just stating this is not enough to convince SMB owners which is why today we will be exploring the top 5 reasons why small or medium-sized businesses need time monitoring software.


  1. Manage your project more easily with CloudDesk: When you have a remote team who are working from different locations, it becomes hard for managers to know how each project is running. The monitoring app will allow you to get the overview of the project and you will understand when it reaches the pipeline and take further preparation for the next level without the need to knock employees again and again for feedback. You can also better allocate your team members after learning more about their ability in managing projects. The monitoring will help you to grow the ability to adapt to any challenges and you will be able to finish the project on time without going over budgets.​
  2. Increase the productivity of your employees: CloudDesk will tell you how long it takes for your employee to complete a task. It also helps you to determine whether your employees are doing their work in the right way or not. You will get to know who is your most hardworking employee and who is the laziest one.
  3. Helps you better understand your projects: By properly assessing any aspects of a project- starting from commodity, time, budget and people, you can easily calculate the possible ROI. The data that you will receive from CloudDesk will help you accurately plan any future projects which is similar. You can also use this data to estimate your costs to create future proposals.
  4. Employees further Develop their Skills: The data provided by CloudDesk helps you to know about the strength and weaknesses of your remote employees. With this information, you can help them to enhance and improve their existing skills in the areas they enjoy the most.
  5. Cost Reduction All businesses want to earn as much as possible while at the same time spending as little as possible. Wasting time or spending it inefficiently reduces your profits. With employee time monitoring software, you are able to properly identify if any minor tasks are taking longer then expected instead of using that time to work on larger, much more important tasks.



Why is employee monitoring important for small businesses?

Employee monitoring is the backbone for small businesses.Without knowing how each employee is working, the business can not function well. Running a small business is this fast moving world is itself a big challenge. Managing a Small and medium business can end up in multi-tasking, there are a number of things owners need to do starting from creating a good product/service, marketing it, selling it and much more. Ignoring the people who work for your company can be quite risky. Because it can lead to serious mistakes which can adversely affect your business.


To ensure your success, there is no alternative to monitor your employees, know the metrics and analytics of the employees’ work activity. The data that you receive will also be incredibly important to track how your business is performing. Without monitoring you won’t really have any sort of actual insight on how your business is performing.


Final Thoughts
​

Keep in mind that implementing employee monitoring software like CloudDesk could potentially backfire if you do not properly explain the benefits of using it for the purpose of your business to your employees. But if you take your time to educate your employees why business actually need to have certain data about employees’ work productivity, your employees will most likely be on board with it happily.



Employee monitoring software is extremely beneficial for small or medium sized businesses. It saves valuable time of worrying about how your employees are working, and helps you better plan and manage all your projects and tasks. Use of these tools will reduce your costs, helps your employees be more productive, and give you the platform to run your business seamlessly for the ultimate success.

Wow! you just gloss over the huge issue that people are going to have with managers using this for spying on people. This is going to require a huge effort to sell to people, and there is absolutely no benefit to the people being spied upon. The biggest thing this will do is generate mistrust and fear. You should be focused on concrete deliverables and outputs that can be measured, not just mindless activity on a keyboard. If my employer even considered doing this, i would be looking for work elsewhere. There are much better ways to do this, and I'm really surprised you would advocate for this.
