What is office monitoring?

One positive aspect of the pandemic is that it's made hybrid work an attractive option for both businesses and employees. But there are difficulties with that model, namely that it leaves managers hanging when it comes to understanding their employees' productivity. That's not just about how much work they're producing, but also the quality of the work and the reasons behind any change. Hybrid work definitely has more freedom attached to it, which means some employees have difficulty managing their time. It's also got many suffering from burnout because there's now a blurred boundary between the office and their home. That's why the employee monitoring product category has been shifting its focus over the last 18 months. Solutions that have been traditionally focused on tracking employee activity, logging suspicious behavior, and sniffing out possible insider threats are now pivoting to not only track productivity, but also monitor health and wellness, and even improve engagement.
