Delivering Employee Productivity & Wellbeing

The rapid rise in hybrid work means many people now spend time away from the traditional office setting. Data from McKinsey shows that 58% of US-based office workers now spend at least one day per week working remotely. This shift in working practices has also seen a rise in the deployment of monitoring software on endpoint devices. Much of this monitoring software has received adverse reactions and bad press, with it being classed as employee surveillance or spyware. Employee Productivity

While many of the criticisms were overblown, multiple organisations are changing their approach and deploying more sophisticated solutions that provide actionable data that managers and leadership teams can use to bolster productivity and the well-being of hybrid and remote workers. These enhanced solutions deliver Workforce Behaviour Analytics.

What is Workforce Behaviour Analytics?

Workforce Behaviour Analytics goes beyond simple employee monitoring solutions. The latter often collect data like emails, website visits, and note time spent using various applications on a computer. All users get monitored the same way, and there is no granularity. If basic metrics like this are all that is being gathered and used, then people quickly learn how to game the system to get the tools to record the behaviour expected.

Workforce Behaviour Analytics provides a more nuanced and proactive analytical approach that increases insights into people and their teams. It gives quantifiable data that management teams require to access how their hybrid and distributed teams are working and performing.

Veriato Workforce Behaviour Analytics Employee Productivity 

Veriato’s Workforce Behaviour Analytics is an industry-leading workforce productivity solution. Here are some headline features:

• Machine learning engine that establishes benchmarks of typical activity.
• Real-time alerts notify managers when significant deviations from a baseline occur.
• Automatically generated risk scores help manage each employee based on their access level, activity and more.

Benefits of Veriato Workforce Behaviour Analytics

Veriato’s solution offers insights for management on their distributed workforce. Benefits include:

• Understand the “new normal” – Using Workforce Behaviour Analytics can establish a baseline of productivity, sentiment, and potential risks to compliance, providing managers with a clearer perspective. This allows organisations to address real concerns and gain insight into what is normal, making it easier to identify abnormal behaviour and thoughtfully manage issues.
• Spot issues early – By setting a baseline, companies can detect any abnormal activity, like changes in productivity or unusual access to sensitive data. Spotting and addressing these issues early can help foster an environment with increased productivity and help the company be aware of potential problems.
• Improve productivity and morale – One of the most significant benefits of ongoing workforce behaviour analytics is that it improves the entire organisation. Identifying and promptly resolving issues and enabling managers to reach out to employees exhibiting atypical behaviours can help companies decrease overall disruption and staff turnover. It also helps cultivate a more inclusive culture in the hybrid or distributed work setting.

Final Thoughts Employee Productivity 

Remote work requires increased oversight, but simply monitoring employees is not adequate. Mismanaged monitoring can foster a culture of mistrust and demotivate workers, which is counterproductive. Moreover, it offers limited insight for companies, making it challenging to identify unproductive behaviour and take corrective action. Using Veriato Workforce Behaviour Analytics, managers can contextualise activity and collaborate with employees to enhance productivity and resolve concerns. This leads to a more positive, productive, and enjoyable work environment.
