Business
owners and managers in companies throughout the U.S. and around the
world face a similar problem: employees spending too much time doing
personal tasks on their computers during work hours. “Cyberloafing”
has become an increasingly difficult issue for businesses. Some have
chosen to use Internet blocking in an effort to restrict their
employees’ access to certain websites. While there’s no doubt
that web filters are effective in certain situations, they don’t
provide a complete resolution to the problem.
Consider,
for a moment, how most Internet
blocking products work. Many of them block entire categories of
websites. Some managers have found that along with blocking
undesirable sites, web filters also block websites that employees
actually need in order to do their jobs. As it turns out, blocking
sites is only a partial answer.
The rest
of the solution lies in an innovative software product designed to
monitor employee activity in an honest and open manner, help
establish individual performance goals for each employee, and even
allows employees to monitor their own progress. MySammy, an
innovative, state-of-the-art productivity measurement software,
provides the ultimate answer to the problem of cyberloafing.
Used
either as a stand-alone resolution or in conjunction with your
current blocking software, MySammy allows employers to approach the
problem from a positive standpoint. You’ll be measuring your
employees’ productivity rather than simply blocking their access to
certain sites. Once you understand which of your workers needs help
in order to improve their performance, MySammy provides the tools
that will allow you to work together to increase productivity. And
that’s good news for you, your employees and your business!
