What is WorkMonitor?
WorkMonitor is a web-based tool designed to monitor employee working hours and activities, specifically aimed at remote and hybrid teams, agencies, and operations managers. It records work sessions and tracks app and website usage through desktop agents, while also enabling attendance tracking and timesheet approvals, complemented by dashboards that highlight activity trends. The Team plan expands its capabilities by incorporating productivity metrics, activity heatmaps, an AI-powered productivity assistant, and a REST API, whereas the Business plan offers features like billable and expense rates, invoicing options, financial reporting, and payroll export functionalities. Employees can access a transparency dashboard to review the data collected on their activities and have the option to adjust their consent for monitoring on a per-signal basis. Furthermore, a free plan is available for up to two users, which includes basic analytics and takes screenshots every 15 minutes for a week, with these images being stored for 30 days. This comprehensive structure not only helps teams manage their productivity effectively but also prioritizes employee privacy by allowing them to control their own data. As a result, WorkMonitor fosters a balanced approach to productivity tracking and personal privacy in the workplace.
