WorkMonitor for HR & People
Stop defending people decisions from memory
Reviews, workload calls and absence disputes still run on recollection. WorkMonitor puts the activity record behind each one, so the decision that gets challenged has something under it.
Free for two seats, no card.
- Review season runs on whoever remembers the year most vividly.
- You learn somebody was overloaded when the notice arrives.
- A grievance lands and nobody can produce what was agreed.

Rollout
Rolling this out through a people team
- 1
Sync the org, do not rebuild it
Nine HRIS connectors bring people and reporting lines across, so nobody maintains a second directory that drifts from the first.
- 2
Record consent against a version
Capture policy is set per team and per region, and consent is recorded against the version in force, which is what makes it producible a year later.
- 3
Open the employee view first
Turn the transparency view on before the manager dashboards. A rollout that arrives as a secret is the one that stalls in consultation and costs you two quarters.
- 4
Bring it into calibration
Use the explainability breakdown in review conversations, and keep the dispute route open so a contested rating has somewhere to go.
Recollection vs. a record that holds up
workmonitor.vsReview season as it runs today
Performance evidence
With WorkMonitor
A score that opens into the activity behind it, covering the whole period rather than the recent part of it.
Review season as it runs today
Whatever the manager wrote down, plus what everyone remembers about the last eight weeks.
Workload
With WorkMonitor
A capacity band with the driver named, and a burnout signal on sustained evening drift.
Review season as it runs today
Discovered when someone resigns, or when a project slips.
Consent
With WorkMonitor
An auditable record of who agreed to what, under which policy version, with re-consent when the scope changes.
Review season as it runs today
A clause in an onboarding pack, unversioned, and impossible to produce for one person on one date.
A rating that gets challenged
With WorkMonitor
The activity behind the rating, plus an appeal that was already answered in writing.
Review season as it runs today
Two accounts of the same period, and whichever one the panel finds more convincing.
Attendance
With WorkMonitor
First and last activity per person per local day, with coverage across zones.
Review season as it runs today
A spreadsheet in head-office hours, which quietly marks half a distributed team as late.
Who opened a personnel record
With WorkMonitor
A hash-chained data-access log, which is the first thing an investigation asks for.
Review season as it runs today
Nobody knows. An administrator browsing an individual leaves no trace.

The status meeting, already written
Status is normally assembled by asking. Here it is already: hours, activity, attendance and risk on one board, for one person or the whole company. Set the thresholds once and it tells you who needs you.
Jobs to be done
The jobs an HR team runs here
- Score productivity & focusOne score per person, team or company, with the breakdown behind every one. Your categories rather than our defaults, and a capacity signal that names who is running hot.
- Monitor legally & stay compliantVersioned consent, a capture scope that cannot quietly widen, retention and DSAR handling, and written guidance for 32 jurisdictions before you roll out in one.
- Manage remote & hybrid teamsOne live board across every zone, attendance in each person’s local day, capacity bands that name who is drowning, and a rollout that never touches a machine.
- Track time automaticallyNo timer to start, no Friday reconstruction. Idle is split out rather than estimated, and approved hours reach payroll and invoicing without a re-key.
Where you operate
What HR has to clear before monitoring starts
- GermanyThe works council holds a veto, and a productivity dashboard is enough to trigger it.
- FranceConsult the CSE first. Skipping it is the criminal offence of obstruction.
- United KingdomThe ICO's 2023 monitoring guidance is the operative document, and it expects a DPIA.
- NetherlandsWorks council consent, and the regulator treats screenshots as disproportionate by default.
- United States (federal)Federal law is permissive; the real constraints are state law and the NLRA.
- SpainDigital rights are written into the data protection act, and reps must be involved.
Straight answers
The questions we would ask in your position
Every answer here is the one you would get on a call. Open as many as you like; they stay open, so two can be held side by side.
A record rather than a sample. Capacity bands show who is over the line this week instead of how people felt last quarter, attendance is derived per local day instead of chased, and every productivity score opens into the activity that produced it, so a rating can be shown rather than argued. The survey tells you the mood; this tells you the workload underneath it.
It is the main reason people teams buy it, and what makes it usable is that a score is evidence rather than a verdict: it opens into the activity that produced it, and the person being rated can open the same view, which is what stops a contested rating becoming a dispute you cannot evidence. Local law varies on automated evaluation, so Trust & Compliance is where you set what the data may be used for.
No. Nine HRIS connectors sync people and org structure inward, Workday, ADP, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle, Deel, Finch, Okta, Entra ID and Google Workspace, and the org chart can drive team structure automatically. Your HRIS stays the system of record.
It goes into a process instead of stalling the rollout. The consent record shows what they agreed to and under which version, the self-view shows what was actually captured, and the appeal route produces a written outcome on the specific capture. That file is what an employment tribunal asks to see, and having it is the difference between one objection and a programme on hold.

Teams with the same problem, from another angle
Take these with you
The software is the easy part of a rollout
Here is what we would send a manager doing one for the first time: how to read a productivity number, what to say to a remote team before anything is installed, and a policy you can adopt as written.
Point it at one team for a week.
Create the account, put the agent on a handful of desks, and leave it alone. On Friday you read the week instead of reconstructing it: hours against their projects, focus and idle per person, and the timesheets already filled in.
