It may be complex to manage a group of people who have PCs at their desks. You may observe your employees. It could look like a very busy room. However, all these people might be doing everything but not their jobs. Is spying really a viable option? Or is there perhaps a more honest and transparent way of employee monitoring?
Some supervisors had to make hard choices in the past. Only spyware was available for computer monitoring . Spyware is the name for computer applications that make screenshots, copy text the user inputs into their computer, observe traffic. So you get control. The problem is that you might lose something else. You can lose respect of your people, because you are effectively intruding into their privacy.
