Keeping Your Business In Check
If you are running a business, there are always going to be great employees and not so great employees. As the owner, you need to be able to make sure that they are really doing what they are being paid to do. One approach is to employee human snoopers. They will pose as customers, come in to the location or call in. Then they will be able to report back to you on how the place is being run. You could also look through your employees files on their desk at least once a month to see if they are really working for the money that you are paying them. Here is a secret that needs to be out: the good employees really resent the employees that do not do their fair share of the work. You can also set up a toll free number for employees to call and leave tips to let management know about the ones that are not doing their job. Lastly, the best way to see what is really going on at your business is to go there, no mobile applications or sophisticated software development required. This is called management by walking around. It is important to see and be seen as well as interact with the people. Do you have any other suggestions?

Software development has come far enough that you can access your employees computers remotely and see what they have been doing. It can prove to be useful.
