Remote Employee Monitoring

Employees are increasingly choosing remote work. According to research, the number of people working remotely full-time has increased from 19% in 2012 to 42% in 2017. The pandemic significantly contributed to the popularity of remote work. By 2020, 70% of employees worldwide were working remotely at least once a week.

Remote work is beneficial for companies that adhere to the principle of "flexible teams" or aim to reduce expenses on office space. Thus, 40% of global companies (such as Mercedes-Benz, Procter & Gamble, etc.) are hybrid, offering most employees the choice of remote work or traditional format. In 2021, 85% of surveyed employers in the USA considered remote work a full or partial norm.

However, remote work also has its downsides. For example, decreased productivity due to lack of control, high employee turnover, difficulties in calculating salaries, and security issues. The OctoWatch system will help you address these challenges.
