Too little info, but it could be an ok idea in some situations. Not for every department, obviously, and it sounds a lot less inhumane if you imagine it properly spaced with breaks.
Might be a bit healthy too. There are few things that eat your soul as much as being in front of a computer with nothing important to do for a few hours every day.
- Flankk 17y agoI think it's excessive to have a machine set off alarms when it thinks your staff aren't working. Employees are a company's most valuable asset. Of course it is management's job to keep staff productive but that is second to keeping them happy.
- randallsquared 17y agoOf course it is management's job to keep staff productive but that is second to keeping them happy. Uh, no. Keeping them happy is just a likely way to keep them productive, not a higher goal. Sending them home with pay would keep them happier on average. :)
- Flankk 17y agoI disagree fully. You acknowledge that happy employees are more productive. You should also realize that unhappy employees equals no employees at all. When you install machines to prove your distrust in your staff's work ethic, you will create a poor atmosphere never mind dehumanize your staff. I will treat my staff as human beings before I will ensure they perform as machines.
- lesbianmonad 17y agoNo. The management's 'job' is to maximize return on capital. Corporations keep staff happy only insofar as an employee's competitive worth dictates. If a survey were taken, what percentage do you think would agree their boss's job is to keep them happy?
