One of the biggest problems faced by managers is to track the work of
their out-of-office team. It is easy to check if an employee is working
properly when he/she is in an office environment. However, this is not possible
when the employee is working out in the field or is constantly on the travel
meeting customers. In such cases what can you do if you feel that some
employees are slacking in their work? You can make use of the employee
location tracking app.
While working out of office, it becomes easy to ignore deadlines or work
at a slower pace as there is no one to constantly keep a tab on their work.
Another reason for slacking could be lack of motivation. Sales agents and
customer relationship executives will be on road almost every day of the month.
This can get tiring and frustrating, especially if they have to deal with
complaints all day long. Even if you constantly keep a tab on your field
agents, there are plenty of chances that they will try to dodge your monitoring
and take an easy way out of the tasks that have been assigned to them. The
employees may also tell you that it took a long time to travel to the
customer’s place and so they were not able to complete the task on time. Or
they may have other excuses like getting stuck in traffic or having no vehicle
to travel. Sometimes, your service and maintenance executives may not even call
the customer’s house and report that there was no one at home. All these little
things will create a bad impression about your company. Plus, you will be
paying an employee and spending on travel, food, and accommodation without
getting any productive work from him. This problem can be solved if you use the
GPS device to track the employee location.
The employee location tracking app can be easily installed in a
smartphone that your field agent can carry with him. Your marketing executive
can report for work via the application. The manager can assign tasks to the
employee using the application. When the agent gets the allotted task, he can
complete the task and then immediately report the task completion. This way,
the manager will be able to track
employee location and work done. Plus, the employee need not have to travel
to the head office every morning and evening for attendance. It will save a lot
of time and effort that can be used to improve his productivity. When you use
the mobile location tracking app, the employee will feel that you’re constantly
watching their work. So, he will not slack and complete his work on time.
