Just don't do it. Effective employee engagement stems from trust, not surveillance. Monitoring attendance often signals a lack of faith, which can demotivate your team. Top talent thrives in environments that value outcomes over micromanagement, and excessive monitoring pushes them away—leaving behind the very issues that prompted such measures. Instead, focus on creating a culture of accountability and ownership, where employees feel empowered to deliver their best work without being constantly watched.

En nuestro trabajo remoto, utilizamos un sistema de marcación basado en localización GPS, combinado con escritorios remotos conectados a través de VPN para garantizar la continuidad y seguridad del trabajo. Sin embargo, la clave no está solo en la tecnología, sino en la comunicación efectiva, la confianza mutua y, sobre todo, la empatía hacia las situaciones individuales de cada colaborador. Entendemos que cada persona tiene sus propios retos y circunstancias, por lo que adoptamos un enfoque flexible, escuchando y adaptándonos según sea necesario. Este enfoque no solo asegura el cumplimiento de las responsabilidades, sino que también fortalece los lazos dentro del equipo, fomentando un ambiente laboral positivo y colaborativo.

RFID issued badges to scan into work locations are used with quite a number of companies to good effect. Strengths for RFID issued badges being: -Prevents unauthorized entry. -Time an individual has scanned their badge to enter a building is logged (also protects against insider threats) -In the unfortunate event an employee is let go their entry privilege can be revoked. -System can be unmonitored and audited on a scheduled basis -Can be scaled up Weakness to this system: -Potential cost factor -If an employee has damaged or lost their card, they cannot gain access to their workspace -employees can "piggyback" behind others, bypassing the system -If the system goes down, there is a potential that no one can enter the work space.
