How do I manage performance appraisal of remote employees?
Tracking the performance of the remote employees can be quite tricky. Here is a guide of how you can manage the performance appraisal for your remote employees:
- Set clear, achievable goals
- Open communication lines
- Plan and organize
- Check frequently

The remote employee monitoring software allows you to do these tasks with ease. You can use the timesheet feature to assign goals and track the productive hours and tasks completion.

Is employee monitoring ethical?
We get this question a lot.
The important factor that matters here is the knowledge and consent of your employees. If your employees are unaware about you tracking their productivity and activities, you’re not using the software in an ethical way.
Your company’s values determine the ethicality of this activity. To ensure that the workers’ monitoring is ethical, you must be transparent with your workers regarding the same. When allowing the worker to work remotely or from home, you must inform them about your intention to monitor their activities. They must be well-informed about what will be monitored, how and for what you will use that data and how it will be stored. Yet another way to ensure ethicality of monitoring is to limit accessibility to the data you are collecting.
To make matters more clear and transparent, you can formulate a remote workers’ monitoring policy that addresses this topic and share the same with all your employees.
