StaffCop is a new employee monitoring software package that helps managers and business owners improve worker productivity and optimize PC use by employees. Contrary to what the name may suggest, this is not just another Big Brother/The Bossman Watches You type of application.
The main advantage of StaffCop comes with its powerful data gathering and analysis module that helps optimize work and IT costs. For instance, this program can give a detailed breakdown of software use application by application, showing which programs are not being used by employees (avoiding unnecessary licensing/upgrade fees). Likewise, StaffCop can show peak times for e-mail use by customer service agents to plan for more flexible work shifts to accommodate natural ups and downs.
Naturally, StaffCop comes packed with 'carrot and stick' features too – real-time PC monitoring (user monitor screenshots), application use statistics and features that help identify e-mail/games/Internet/IM abuse. All user statistics is collected directly at a particular PC and is stored there; system administrators have the option of accessing all user logs for later processing and report building.
The important benefit of using StaffCop comes from the fact that, once employees are warned that their PCs are being monitored, they are very unlikely to engage in any unprofessional behavior. Moreover, having real picture of worker PC use is critical to streamlining office operations and increasing personal productivity.
