Tools to manage Home based Employees

With more business owners allowing employees to work from home or satellite offices, the need to make sure those workers stay on task and productive is growing. From the employee’s perspective everything seems rosy. According to a recent Harris Poll, 64 percent of telecommuters say working from home increases productivity and output.

But for employers, allowing workers to telecommute can be akin to working in the dark. If you can’t see Harry, how do you know he’s actually working?

If you’re suffering from remote worker separation anxiety, these three tools can help you monitor actual time on task. Remember, these tools only provide you with raw data. You need to interpret the results on a case-by-case basis. Also, it’s wise to let employees know they are being tracked and how.

1. Hivedesk 
If you’re juggling multiple remote workers on multiple projects, Hivedesk has a simple solution for keeping everyone on task. Workers check in by choosing their project from the central hub. Then Hivedesk tracks their time and adds each day’s information to the weekly time sheet.

During the work session, Hivedesk snaps random screenshots so you know your developer is on task and not, say, on Facebook. The system also sends a graphical productivity gauge for each worker so you can see at a glance who is performing and who isn’t.

Pricing starts at $14.99 a month for up to two workers and goes up to $100 a month for 20. It requires a desktop download and is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux.

2. Worksnaps 
If you need more detail, there’s Worksnaps. This tool takes screenshots every 10 minutes and logs keyboard strokes and mouse movement. In addition, it catalogs the applications that were used so you can tell if an employee spent 10 minutes reading a Word document or plugging numbers into an Excel spreadsheet.

The User Management panel gives project managers access to reports on their team members, creating multiple levels of accountability.

What’s more, Worksnaps has an optional webcam feature that allows you to see not just what’s on a worker’s screen but the worker as well. This can be a useful feature if your employees need to spend a lot of time on their phones, tablets or handling non-computer based desk work.
Plans start at $14 a month for up to four users and go to $60 a month for up to 30 users. Worksnaps requires a desktop download and is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux. Worksnaps also integrates with project management software Basecamp, invoicing software Freshbooks and time tracker Harvest.

3. MySammy 
For business owners who prefer a less heavy-handed approach, there’s MySammy. This application is all about balance. As long as an employee’s bar graph is mostly green (active) you can forgive the 10 percent that’s red (non-productive.)

In order to categorize activity, the manager must mark every desktop application and website in the system as either productive or not. Excel gets a thumbs up, Facebook gets a thumbs down. The system also allows for overrides so your social media manager isn’t penalized for time spent on Twitter.

MySammy’s reporting system allows you to filter the data in a variety of ways so it’s easy to see who is getting the job done and who needs some motivation.

The starter plan is free for up to four employees but has limits on long-term data storage. A small-business account is $7 per person per month for up to 50 users. For larger companies, the price is $17 per person per month and it includes five years of data storage.

The MySammy client must be installed on all work computers. It’s compatible with Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 2003 and above. It is not compatible with Mac OS.

12 Business strategies learnt from Microsoft

Recently Tren Griffin, a strategist for Microsoft, shared 12 quotes that summarize what he feels he’s learned as a businessman for one of the world’s most prestigious tech companies.

Here are three favorites along with some insight:

Our whole business model is to do a few things very well and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Jim Spady, chief financial officer of Dick’s Drive-in Restaurant

“Anyone who has ever eaten ‘Chicken Rice’ from a hawker stand in Singapore knows what happens when someone spends 40 years making the same dish,” writes Griffin. “You get awfully good at it. People line up to buy it, your costs drop, and you get scale advantages. Costco limits what it does in a way that generates attractive sustainable competitive advantage.”

It’s incredibly arrogant for a company to believe that it can deliver the same sort of product that its rivals do and actually do better for very long.
Michael Porter, director of the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness at Harvard Business School

“Just trying to rely on being good at what you do is a hard road to walk,” insists Griffin. “Maybe you get some scale benefits by making great Chicken Rice, but that is a weaker form of moat than network effects.”

A customer that ‘chooses’ your firm’s services will be much more satisfied than one that is persuaded to buy your product through spend.
Bill Gurley, general partner at Benchmark

“Big firms have these huge marketing budgets and forget that the essence of business is being able to cost-effectively acquire a customer,” writes Griffin. “Spending on customer acquisition should be tracked on a per customer basis. People who want to spend, for example, ‘$100 million’ on marketing without breaking it down and working it out on a per customer basis are due for a fall.”

Customer Experience: A walk to remember

Do you know who Mehran Karimi Nasseri is? Maybe you’ve never heard the name? He is an Iranian refugee who lived in the departure lounge of Terminal One in Charles de Gaulle Airport from 1988 until 2006. From 1988 until 2006! Basically, he got stuck between “not having entered France illegally” and “not being able to enter France because he had no papers.” Interesting way to spend 17 years… had his suitcases with him, read a lot, studied economics. Probably ate a lot of airport food.

I had read a little blurb about him years ago when the Tom Hanks movie came out (“The Terminal”) and we got to imagine what it would be like to live in an airport. However, I really thought about it when I recently had a flight out of Denver cancelled and spent just one night around the gates—from about 9:00pm until my 6:30am flight the next morning.

So, I went on a little Customer Experience (CX) observational walk—pretty cool what one can see in 30 minutes. A number of items stood out that had a direct impact on me as a customer inside this airport:

Everything closes.
People miss flights, even end up spending the night sometimes—and they close all the stores and places to eat… Really? I understand that probably not much business gets driven through, but shouldn’t at least one place be open?

The ticket agents work hard… and typically have a lot of patience.
Interesting to just listen to the airline personnel at the gates. I listened to about 15 of them at various Delta gates in the terminal and constantly heard a strong effort to be professional and helpful no matter what attitude the customer brought to them. I heard them all: nice, mean, quiet, angry, very angry… the agents did the best they could trying to weave through a complicated system of airlines, connections, and missed flights.

The seats are dirty.
I constantly see hard working cleaning personnel going around, doing their best to pick up, clean up, and put back in order, but with so many people moving and sitting and eating and packing, it’s just hard to get everything clean. The airport could do it… if they wanted… by adding more people and prioritizing, but then there are budgetary restraints. However, I also notice that while sitting in the seat I am typing from right now, the nearest trash can is over 100 feet away. Why?

Outlets? Where?
If you’ve travelled much at all, this is painfully obvious. There are a few terminals that have great access to charging areas and outlet stations, but there aren’t many here. In today’s device-driven world, where everything seems to need charged, we need power. Big mistake on the airport’s part not to get this in place. Additionally, some of the outlet locations are marked and some of them aren’t; wouldn’t take much to ID where the outlets are, would it?

Nothing interactive.
Again, in today’s digital world and with people just standing around waiting most of the time, there is nothing digitally interactive here? No games to play while waiting at the gate, no cool contextual items I can interact with by using my phone… nothing. I find it absolutely fascinating that there’s a captive audience here—hundreds and hundreds—and nothing interactive. Wasted opportunity.

The lights stay on bright all night.
Even when no flights are coming in or going out. Even when people are trying to sleep. Bright, searing lights overhead. If you, as a company, had a chance to: 1) make customers happier by doing something; and 2) cost you less when doing it… wouldn’t you do it? I’m not saying to make it dark; safety is an issue; but at least dim the lights a bit.

The “your bag is too big” measure.
You know the metal boxes that are at every-single gate, the one that tells you your carry on bag can’t be larger than the size of the box? I didn’t see one used. At all. And, on just one flight alone—as I was watching specifically for this—I saw 42 bags that were bigger than the metal box and not once did I see a gate agent say anything. Yeah, I counted. One could assume they were checked down the runway, but none of them had the gate check tag on them. I can guarantee you that customers on that flight had issues with finding room for their bags.

No tables for people to interact.
Obviously many chairs, but why no tables? Why not encourage people to interact with each other by having some cool tables… maybe a partnership with Hasbro, Milton-Bradley, or LEGO? Heck, even a deck of cards? On a usability note, there are parentseverywhere with young ones who would love to have their kids playing around on the tables rather than crawling around on the floors.

Well, 30 minutes over.

Just want to encourage you to take the time to go and observe your organization’s experiences; whenever we do this for firms it always uncovers something not seen before. It is a skill that one can develop over time and can really lead to some interesting thoughts and ideas, particularly if you have people of different mindsets and viewpoints tag along. Look for the physical, behavioural, digital, and organizational and see where you can make an impact.

Personal Devices at Workplace

Employees that are carrying their personal devices at workplace may term as the threat for the organization in some manners; that is why most organization that have sensitive data hardly allow employee to connect their portable devices with the system. It is bring your own device era but any misconduct by the employees within company premises may mark the company liable.  The number of risks involve with personal devices use by employees are listed below:

–         Social Media Network: Companies restrict the users to browse social media websites to save time and concentration of employee from extra activities to the work that they are designated to perform. Employees therefore use their own mobile devices for social media updates such as Twitter, that diverts their attention from work and any misconduct may harm name of organization.

–         Driving and Devices: Another prospect of hazard is employees that are driving in their duty hours or further assigned jobs as company representatives, use different devices. Company may keep an eye on those that are within the premises, but cannot monitor everyone driving and checking emails, taking photographs or talking on cell phone. Due to this misbehaviour, if any accident happens to occur, not only driver but company become responsible and have to pay for.

–          Unsecured Devices: Devices that are missed, no matter were owned by employees or organization is one of the threats to the safety of company data. In order to avoid such losses, company must include this in their policy that in lose or leakage of any company strategies and internal information by employees will mark them liable.

–          Abusive Content: Any kind of abusive content in the form of text message, email or social media update by employees is not their personal matter in working hours. Misbehaviour by employees to anyone outside the organization by using devices with in the company premises may lead to case file against the company.

–          USB and Hard Drive: Some organizations do not allow employees to connect their data storage devices with office system in order to secure company data. It has been evident that use of personal data storage increases the chances of stealing the sensitive data.
