Hey folks, after some incidents at work, my management is curious about how to track employee activity during teleworking. Do you have any suggestions or tools that could help with this?

I think this is more of a management issue than a tech one. Monitoring employee activity isn't a great strategy since activity doesn't equal productivity. The focus should really be on the results of their work instead. If certain individuals aren't performing well, that's up to management to address, not IT. You might want to suggest that your leadership look into performance outcomes instead of just tracking who's online.
If management really wants to monitor activity, maybe suggest some tools like Desktime. But remind them that just installing software doesn't mean it will solve their problems. It’s better to define what they actually need to track first and select a solution based on that.
Totally agree! It's more about the output than just being online. Plus, if people are just moving their mouse to avoid detection, that doesn't help anyone, right?
