An extensive variety of 3rd party research has conclusively shown that employees lose productivity due to PC & Internet misuse or abuse. For example, Salary.com reports that the average employee wastes 20% of their workday on non-productive PC & Internet activity. It is not uncommon for employees to think that it is acceptable to use PC & Internet access for personal use during work hours, especially if they feel it does not impact their work. Personal banking, news/information browsing, online auctions, music & video downloads are some quick examples. The reality is that this loss of productivity has a substantial financial cost. For example, an employee earning $20/hr who wastes 20% of their workday will translate into corporate losses of $8,000/year. The losses quickly escalate if you factor in additional employees; for 10 employees the loss is $80,000/year and for 50 employees the loss is $400,000/year.

Managers and employees have a variety of job responsibilities and results that are expected of them. Too often they can loose track of their productivity in pursuit of these results. This can lead to unbalanced workloads where one or few individuals carry a disproportionate amount of work related to the contributions of others. This can lead to ineffective management, reduced motivation & morale, and lack of results. Cyclope Employee Monitoring Software can be a very effective tool to solve this problem. Cyclope’s unique ability to provide multiple levels of Administrative Access means that managers can view the PC & Internet activity of their work group while individual employees can be granted access to view their own statistics and metrics. They can keep track of online activity such as websites visited and length of visit, instant messaging & chat and duration of sessions, view all programs/applications accessed and duration of use, and track attendance & overtime.

This visibility empowers both managers and employees to own their productivity. By allowing them to monitor & track how they spend their time, how their activities impact their quantitative measure of productivity and permitting them to keep their own "score".

This can be a very motivating tool since it returns the control of their performance back to the managers & employees. It has been shown that people put more attention and interest in their work when they understand what is expected of them and they can measure their own progress & productivity. With Cyclope, you can empower your managers and employees to take ownership of their own productivity!

A typical Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) defines the intended uses of the company network including acceptable uses and the consequences for non-compliance. A good AUP will cover topics such as network etiquette, limits on the use of network resources and will clearly indicate the level of privacy a user on the network can expect. Despite the fact that every employee must agree to the AUP as a pre-condition of employment few employees actually follow it. This is because employers often lack the tools to enforce their AUP, so employees know they can get away with the violations.

Cyclope Employee Monitoring Software is the perfect compliment to your AUP, an employer. By deploying Cyclope in conjunction with your AUP an employer can notify the workforce that monitoring compliance to the AUP is taking place. Cyclope will monitor & track all Internet activity including websites visited and length of visit, instant messaging & chat and duration of sessions. With Cyclope you can build an acceptable website Whitelist and program Internet usage Alerts.

Once employees are educated on the AUP and monitoring through Cyclope their compliance to the AUP will increase simply by knowing they are being monitored. With Cyclope, you can achieve higher employee productivity and a safer and more secure corporate network!

Every corporation knows that their most valuable assets are their employees. Determining who are the top contributors is a constant challenge. Too often employers lack the concrete statistics and metrics to quantify an employee’s productivity. Without this, employers are left with only subjective opinions of supervisors and peers, that while an important part of any review, is simply not sufficient. A fully comprehensive review, including statistical measures of productivity, can serve to increase employee motivation and company morale.

Cyclope Employee Monitoring Software is an indispensable part of producing a comprehensive employee review by covering all possible statistics from which to report, as well as enabling comparisons between employees. With Cyclope you can track all programs/applications accessed and duration of use. You’ll be able to draw meaningful comparisons of which employees spend most time online, in instant messaging or chat, as well as who is spending most time active versus idle. You can also track attendance and overtime. Finally, by configuring Productive/Non-Productive programs/applications you’ll derive a quantitative measure of employee productivity that permits you to confidently state “Mary is 84% productive while Jane is only 70% productive”.

Using Cylope to the fullest arms you with statistics and metrics that will reduce the guess work of truly determining which employees are your biggest assets and which employees need improvement. This in turn can lead to a more efficient, motivated, and productive workforce!
