The companies that have effectively managed the disruption will not only be well-positioned to maintain business operations throughout the outbreak, but they\u2019ll be better prepared for the future too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s what prompted Andre Vos, IT Project Leader at RSC (Reinforcing Steel Contractors) to turn to Netsurit. RSC provides reinforcing solutions to the construction, civil, mining and engineering sectors and has track record of delivering the highest quality products and service to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith our employees working from home, managers have a greater responsibility than ever to help shape workplace culture and behaviours wherever that work takes place,\u201d says Vos. \u201cThe global pandemic forced us to revaluate how we manage our user IT experience. Aspects about the workplace that were interesting, trending topics of discussion \u2013 like how productive people are when working from home \u2013 suddenly became a reality for us. These were now business-critical elements that shifted our perception regarding the user experience.\u201d Vos goes on to say that South Africa is a country of paradox and paradigm mixed to create opportunity. \u201cWe still believe that face to face meetings are the only effective way to interact and we manage by \u2018whoever shouts loudest\u2019. There is even fault in my preferred saying, \u2018my favourite users are the ones I didn\u2019t even know existed.\u2019 That was why we needed a tool that to help employees be productive and engaged while working remotely. Netsurit Productivity Monitor (NPM) has provided us with immediate insights and reporting to help us identify trends and capacity within the organisation.\u201d RSC now has insights not only about productivity, but also about potential burnout, as well as under-utilized, or time-wasting employees, and improved understanding of its company work patterns, and an ability to track employees and monitor all of them equally, in a non-invasive way that does not compromise trust. \u201cNPM encourages a healthy work-life balance in your organisation, empowering your employees and business to learn together,\u201d says Vos. \u201cIt\u2019s quick to deploy and there is no training needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vos has identified three key benefits of NPM:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>NPM allows you to know how much time your employees are spending on their PCs and which applications consume their time. It does this without invading their privacy or harvesting private information, while still telling you everything you need to know.<\/li><li>It allows you to dispel perceptions around what tools really are adding value to your business. This destroys another arch villain in business \u2013 the strong personality who overrides what the data says.<\/li><li>There is no unnecessary detail. Unlike competitor product offerings, NPM is fully customisable to allow you to see as little or as much detail as you need. Netsurit understands and easily supports the fact that your business needs more than an off-the-shelf product.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI recommend NPM to any business that uses computers,\u201d Vos adds. \u201c For the first time in my career I have a product that delivers a cure for a disease I did not know we had. It\u2019s affordable, and you only pay for the users you monitor per month.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working remotely became a necessary reality in the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.
