Beyond Just Tracking: How AI Scoring Revolutionizes Employee Productivity Monitoring

Did you know that, according to a GetApp survey, managers spend a whopping eight hours every two weeks just tracking employee activity? Traditional monitoring methods are not only time-consuming but also subjective, leading to inconsistencies and potential bias. In today's dynamic work environment, a smarter solution is needed.

CleverControl is proud to introduce a groundbreaking solution: AI Scoring. This revolutionary feature represents a leap forward in employee monitoring, leveraging the power of artificial intelligence to deliver objective, data-driven insights into employee productivity.

At the heart of AI Scoring lies a sophisticated data collection and analysis process.

CleverControl's AI gathers the following anonymized information and a portion of activity logs that reflect an employee's work patterns:

• Employee Position: Understanding the exact role helps the AI tailor its analysis to the expected tasks, workflow patterns, and responsibilities.

• Industry Context: The AI considers industry-specific benchmarks for website and application usage to provide a more nuanced picture of productivity.

• Website and Application Logs with Duration: By analyzing which websites and applications employees visit and for how long, the AI can differentiate between activities directly related to work and potential distractions.

The robust AI analysis engine working behind the scenes is what truly sets AI Scoring apart. This powerful technology analyses the collected data, identifying patterns and correlations to paint a clear picture of employee productivity. Here is how it works:

• Categorization: The AI calculates each employee's productivity score and categorizes employees as productive or unproductive based on its analysis. This straightforward classification allows managers to quickly identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement within their teams.

• Explanations with Context: Beyond a simple label, AI Scoring provides brief yet insightful explanations for its categorization. For example, AI highlights application usage patterns that deviate from industry and position norms and explains the most used apps and websites. Besides, it gives a brief overview of the employee's overall workflow patterns. These explanations help managers to understand the "why" behind an employee's productivity score and offer targeted support.

Security First: We understand the importance of data privacy. CleverControl implements industry-leading security measures to ensure all data collected during the AI Scoring process remains completely anonymized; all data collected and analyzed by CleverControl is encrypted at rest and in motion. These measures ensure employee privacy is protected while still enabling powerful AI analysis.

As complex as it may seem, AI Scoring does not require hours of fine-tuning the settings and technical knowledge. Setting it up is easy and only takes three steps:

• On your online CleverControl dashboard, navigate to the tab AI Scoring on the left. Read and accept the user agreement.

• Select your company's industry and fill in each employee's position for more accurate analysis.

• Come back later for productivity evaluations and reveal areas of improvement.

The power of AI Scoring extends far beyond simply generating a productivity score. It offers a multitude of benefits for both managers and employees, transforming the way we approach performance monitoring in the modern workplace.

Gone are the days of manually sifting through hours of employee activity logs. AI Scoring takes the heavy lifting out of the equation, providing managers with a user-friendly interface that allows them to access employee productivity scores at a glance. The productivity levels are categorized (productive/unproductive) with color coding and easy-to-understand progress percentages. Thanks to this, managers can quickly identify top performers and those who might require additional support.

Traditional monitoring methods often rely on subjective assessments, leaving room for bias and inconsistency. AI Scoring, on the other hand, delivers unbiased, data-driven insights. By analyzing objective metrics like website and application usage patterns, the AI removes human bias from the equation. AI Scoring helps achieve a fair and accurate employee performance evaluation, fostering a more transparent and trusting work environment.

AI Scoring doesn't just measure productivity; it can also identify potential areas for improvement. By analyzing application usage patterns, AI can detect instances where employees might spend time on non-work-related activities. With this information, managers can have open conversations with their teams, identify potential distractions, and help them develop strategies for maximizing focus and boosting overall productivity.

The time saved through AI Scoring is a valuable asset for any manager. With automatic data analysis, managers can redirect time to strategic tasks. Imagine the possibilities – more time dedicated to coaching and development, fostering team collaboration, or tackling high-impact projects. This shift in focus allows managers to unlock the full potential of their teams, driving greater innovation and success within the organization.

We understand that AI-powered monitoring might raise concerns about employee privacy and potential bias or inaccuracy.

At CleverControl, we take data security and user privacy very seriously. Here's how we ensure your trust:

• Unwavering Commitment to Security: As mentioned earlier, all data collected during the AI Scoring process is anonymized and encrypted using industry-leading security protocols.

• Transparency is Key: We believe in open communication. Our user agreement outlines how employee data is collected, used, and protected. This ensures employees understand the process and feel comfortable with their data being utilized for AI analysis.

• Evolving with AI: The field of Artificial Intelligence is constantly evolving. We acknowledge the potential for bias in AI algorithms. While constantly improving our AI feature, we do not recommend using AI Scoring as the sole basis for making decisions. AI Scoring will be your keen eye spotting areas for improvement. Combine it with one-on-one meetings and other traditional monitoring methods depending on the need. This approach helps minimize bias and ensures the accuracy and fairness of the AI Scoring feature.

We are committed to responsible AI development and believe that AI Scoring can be a powerful tool for boosting productivity without compromising employee privacy.

AI Scoring represents a significant leap forward in employee monitoring. It empowers managers to make data-driven decisions, identify areas for improvement, and ultimately foster a more productive and efficient work environment. As AI technology continues to evolve, CleverControl remains at the forefront, developing innovative solutions that leverage the power of artificial intelligence to create a future of work that is both intelligent and employee-centric.
