Monitoring employees in the workplace may be controversial, but stats speak for themselves: companies that use employee monitoring to follow the internet usage of their team report a 30% productivity boost within the first month.

Studies show that people waste as many as 8 hours a week - close to one full day a week - on non-work tasks. Note that this time does not include lunch breaks and other resting moments throughout the workday, but the time people spend on their mobile phones, surfing the web, doing online shopping, etc.

Now, let's do the calculation: with the average hourly wage of $27.12 per hour (as in April 2022), companies in the USA are losing more than $10000 a year on every person they employ.

Boosting your team's productivity by 30% means saving more than $2500 a year on each employee on the team. Got a team of 10? Save 25K every year. You get the point - the larger your team, the bigger your savings. Therefore, it's no surprise that as many as 66% of employers have implemented employee tracking software and track employee hours in their company.
