Any people analytics or employee monitoring that isn’t spyware?
I run ops for a relatively small hybrid company and leadership wants me to look into employee monitoring. Problem is, most of what I've found so far (Teramind, Veriato, that whole crowd) is basically spyware. Keystroke logging, screenshots every few minutes, webcam stuff. No thanks. I'd rather quit than roll that out to my team.
What I actually want is something that shows aggregate productivity stuff. Like, are people on the verge of burnout? Where are workflows getting stuck? Are we paying for SaaS nobody opens? Less gotcha, more "help us run a healthier team."
A few I've been looking at:
- Intelogos, saw it come up in a thread here, seems to lean into the wellbeing angle
- ActivTrak, bigger name but I've heard mixed things
- Rescue time, Time doctor, something else?
If you've actually deployed something like this, I'd love to know. Did you get insights you actually used, or just pretty dashboards? And anything you'd warn me about before pulling the trigger?
Appreciate it.
