Time Doctor to manage remote staff
If you’re hiring someone working from home and you have never met in real life, it can be difficult to trust that they are truly working and not moonlighting for several clients at the same time. Time Doctor is designed for teams to improve the productivity of a remote working team. It’s also created to help individual staff members to track and improve their productivity.
I actually use it personally for my own productivity, so it’s not just about “monitoring” but really about how to improve productivity of individuals or teams.
Rob Rawson is a co-founder of Time Doctor which is software to improve work productivity and help keep track of what your team is working on, even when working remotely.
