  How can you track how much time employees work if they work remotely? I have a small team of developers and we work mostly remotely. Recently, I started noticing that task deadlines are getting a bit longer and productivity seems to be lower than before. I want to see if there is a way to track how much time each employee works without creating an atmosphere of total control. I don't want to pressure people, but it's still important to understand how effectively working time is distributed. Maybe some services or methods help in such cases.

  I faced this problem myself in my time when I switched to remote work. The main thing is not to overdo it so that employees don't feel constantly supervised. From what I have tried, I can recommend Monitask. It's a service that automatically tracks working hours, records employee activity, and even takes screenshots of the screen if necessary. I liked that it doesn't just record how much time a person spent on the computer, but also analyzes what applications and websites were used. Conveniently, one can create tasks and see how much time is spent on them. Another plus is that https://www.monitask.com/en/ is quite unobtrusive, as it does not record what exactly an employee does in his time. We've been using it in our team for six months now, and I've noticed that efficiency has increased: employees have become more organized, and it's become easier for me as a manager to understand where the bottlenecks are. So if you want transparency in your team without rigid control, I recommend giving it a try!

  I think a lot depends on the team itself and the working culture. If people are motivated, they don't need constant monitoring, they will work efficiently themselves. Of course, if deadlines are looming, you should pay attention to time management tools, but perhaps you should first discuss with your team what is preventing them from working faster? Maybe tasks aren't being set clearly or there are other issues? Sometimes it's not that employees are sitting around, but that they just lack clarity in their planning.
