Top tips to enlarge those brains Top tip:

Employee surveillance is a waste of time.

Surveillance data is just noise. Random screenshots and location data with no context provide no real insight into how people work. You’re doing it wrong if you spend time poring over employee web surfing data to assess performance.

Toggl Track stands against employee surveillance and micromanagement. Monitoring has never been a feature in our software or culture—and it never will be.
