How employers can reduce time theft in the workplace

[cherry123]

Time theft is detrimental to the workplace or company as the work assigned to the employees that practice time theft will be left undone.

The employer can do the following to curb this;

Issue queries to these employees

if it becomes incessant it can be come with suspension with no pay

if there's no effect there should be an outright sack to motivate others to stop

There is no need to use strict measures to stop time theft in an organization. With subtility and diplomacy, you can turn lazy worker to very productive worker. The first step is to make all realized what is expected of them daily. Secondly, pay per work done. The more work you do, the more the salary.

Some staff are always busy doing Facebook during working hours. That's why some organizations block social media sites from company's network.

If your workers use computers you can install program for remote control. There are programs which measure activity of user, send warning if you exit from work software. Upwork, site for freelance, have offer such software for employers.

If you have a team, delegate tasks to others who are capable and willing to take on responsibilities, doing this it will help you focus on higher-level tasks and increase overall productivity

That would be a great measure to curb the excesses of staff who use company data subscription to do social media. It is very common among bank staff.

I like this idea of pay per work done. The more work you do, the more the salary just like we have online where you are paid for the job you are done

This is all about being very good with your business management and having a good manager to follow up on the duties. If a manager does his job well, this problem won't exist in the business.

To avoid time theft in the workplace, the employer needs to do a regular check on the progress of tasks assigned to each employee. Some companies here require employees to fill time sheets on their daily activities.

I had seen some people do this. For virtual teachers, it is not likely happen to go over time or under time at work. For the reason that the virtual classroom will show the accurate time and the class will stop at exact time. That is why it is impossible for them to be playing while working online.

When there is proper supervision and management, time theft would be cordoned. Workers should not be left unchecked while at work.

And they can also report any employer that is not doing the right thing from that is trying to steal in the company

They should have specific goals for each day. It should be extended so that it would not give the staff free time to get in facebook. There should be tracking devices that you can use to track someone to death.

 

[cherry123]

I think the first thingbwould be not to give the staff free time to get distracted. Or maybe the time alloter should be cut down . They should have specific goals to finish daily

It's very critical to look for medium to reduce theft at workplaces.

We have 2 nature of workers according to business theory. Those that would be productive only through strict supervision and those that would be effective without supervision. If you don't manage those with supervision always allow time theft when they are not monitored.

 

[cherry123]

Employers should monitor employees to detect those trying to steal time and the other employees can also report any employee that is not doing the right thing and trying to steal time

Speaking of checking them out during the working hours, it should be considered by the top management. There are some employees who are playing if not being checked from time to time.

Indolent workers should be getting rid off immediately they are discovered. Though it is recommended that erring worker should be warned but where he/she fails to adjust, then discipline should be carried out. This would serve as a lesson for others.

This is the main reason why some organizations banned the use of phone during working hours unless it is official. Most workers abuse their official time by busying playing with their phones or making unofficial call during office hours. This habit is unprofessional and should be stopped.

The other option to install a CCTV camera in the organisation's office. Even if it is not working, the thoughts of it alone would make them to behave.
