OctoWatch is capable of analyzing user behavior to detect behavioral anomalies and threats from employees within the organization.
While working on a computer, an individual performs a specific set of actions. Depending on their profession, the range of programs and websites used during the workday is always unique. Characteristics such as working hours, typing behavior, and even mouse movements are taken into account.
By analyzing behavior, OctoWatch will identify situations that are atypical for the user in the past and notify you about them. Thus, OctoWatch can detect instances when another person has used an employee's computer. It can also identify situations of "professional burnout," where there is a sudden decrease in work interest, and a person becomes less effective or starts searching for a new job.
- Predictive analytics based on machine learning, regression analysis, and behavior assessment algorithms.
- Creation of a baseline behavior template for a user or group of users (e.g., number of file accesses depending on the time of day)
- The self-learning engine can detect anomalies in applications, web traffic, file operations, and engagement markers such as idle time, productivity, etc.
- Upon detecting an anomaly, you will receive automatic alerts.
Additionally, OctoWatch keeps track of attendance and helps control work discipline.

Tips to Improve Work Discipline
Personnel are the best resource of the company, and thus it is important for a competent manager to value their employees, following several recommendations:
- Ensure Good Relationships
Every employee is primarily a person with their own life goals, capabilities, desires, and problems. In practice, leaders who treat their colleagues and subordinates with respect and appreciation, especially if they help in accomplishing tasks, tend to succeed.
It is quite natural that there is no need to praise every task completion, but if an employee consistently demonstrates high productivity without obvious violations over the results of a week, month, or quarter, even simple praise can boost their confidence, which will ultimately reflect positively on results.
- Set Appropriate Goals
This recommendation serves as a reminder of the importance of balance. It is essential to set goals that aren’t too easy, yet also not overly difficult. In the first case, there is a risk of declining productivity and competence, even when monitored through OctoWatch, and in the second case, the team may lose motivation due to unachievable goals. General advice: gradually increase the complexity of tasks while rewarding performers for productivity and useful initiative.
- Delegate Responsibility
The ability to delegate responsibilities to subordinates who can approach task execution responsibly will allow the manager to free up time for more important duties. Additionally, the employee, receiving responsibility and assurance that their efforts will be valued, will be more motivated to develop and perform assigned tasks efficiently.
- Be “One of Them” from a Distance
A true leader is one who can motivate the team to complete tasks while remaining at a comfortable “distance” for everyone. This means being willing to listen to any employee if necessary, helping to solve specific situations (including those unrelated to work), and showing interest in subordinates as people. For subordinates, this is the best evidence of their importance to both the company and the manager.
At the same time, it is important to avoid overly familiar relationships, as not everyone can differentiate between friendly and working relationships.
- Share Thoughts and Information
Every task should be regulated and have a clear technical assignment. However, it is important for the manager to ensure that their thoughts and decisions are correctly understood by subordinates, which can be achieved by discussing them. This applies to significant matters as well as those that can be discussed with colleagues.
The recommendations listed above contribute to a stronger sense of employees' involvement in the common cause, which ultimately enhances motivation and positively impacts productivity.
The more friendly the team is, and the more comfortable every employee feels, the more effective they will be, providing value and raising their dedication.
