Employee Monitoring Through Their Mobile Phones

A lot of businesses have already come and gone. Majority of the startup businesses do not last long. Only a few grow big and become really successful. Though a number of factors could be attributed to why this is the case, there is one common problem that most business heads or employers fail to consider. That is efficiently monitoring their employees. 
If you have ever gone into business, tracking the activities of your people is not as easy as it seems. Just when you thought you already know how everything is going on, a certain employee will be acting against company interest and will definitely affect the entire organization. This is clearly a sign of inefficient tracking and monitoring. 
A great example for this would be the traditional method of punch cards in an office setup. Though it would be able to track the exact time a certain employee reports, it does not really monitor his actual activities. A lot of employees in fact abuse this. They do a lot of other things not work related and usually personal interest. 
Another abused tool are the company issued phones. Most companies give phones to their employees for work related activities. However, some employees would still sneak in a few personal activities in it. Those would range from personal calls to personal emails. All of these mean costs incurred by the company itself. It could equate to a lot of loss. 
Good thing today businesses have found out a good solution to this inefficient tracking and monitoring of employees. They took a cue from these company issued mobile phones that were used for personal activities. 
What they did was they just tracked the mobile phones they give to the employees. It is as simple as installing the software in the company issued phones. This makes the employers track the activities of the employee on the phone. Every activity from phone calls, text messages, emails to location are monitored. This makes it easy for them to track who abuse the use of these phones. Thus, enforcing discipline and also reducing costs incurred from personal calls made. This is a really helpful and efficient method that is taking advantage of technology for business. And, it solved a long time problem of businesses.
It is great to see how businesses have took advantage of this technology to help improve their processes. There is just one thing to take note of. This technology is for professional use only. It takes a lot of responsibility to use such tool. That is because there is a great chance for this spy system to be abused. It is usually used in companies that have strongly deliberated in using such system. Only certain people are also given access. One thing is for sure though. This will certainly improve the way businesses are operating today.
