If you want to know whether or not computer or employee monitoring software is right for your business, think about one thing - productivity. How is your productivity? Are there times when things seem a little lax and are you happy with the work done when you're out of the office? If you have noticed a slight decline in work when you are elsewhere then monitoring software may prove useful. You can see exactly whether an employee is messing around on the Internet when they should be working elsewhere. Businesses who start to see a lull in productivity should give monitoring software real consideration.
