Employee monitoring software is key not only to ensuring workplace productivity, but making also sure your employees aren’t breaking any laws.

While most workers are fine employees and do their jobs well and honorably, the workplace provides many opportunities for questionable behavior.

Unfortunately not every worker is trustworthy, and in an era of increasing demands, managers are expected to track tasks and behavior even while they are away from the office.

Corporations must guard against only a small amount of employees because the vast majority of workers do their jobs responsibly. But that small group can do a huge amount of damage if managers aren’t doing their jobs. And in an increasingly mobile world, it’s important to be able to do your job on the go.

How can you keep an eye on employees?

Here are some examples of unethical or illegal worker practices that might slip by a manager:

• The theft of intellectual property
• Stealing business contacts for use in a competing organization
• Sharing trade secrets
• Looking at pornography at work
• Posting inappropriate or illegal comments in forums

But what happens if you are away from the workplace?

The answer is mobile monitoring

Yet only a few monitoring products allow managers to keep an eye on their workers via their smartphones.

The monitoring product Refog, for example, does not allow monitoring via smartphone. Its price tag is also steep, at $399.95 for 6 machines.

Spectorsoft CNE Investigator Edition and ActivTrak also don’t allow smartphone monitoring.

But Digital Endpoint’s Administrator Portal is completely responsive, allowing managers to monitor employees using a smartphone. Go ahead and view the demo, here
