Abstract

Organizations have moved towards tracking their employees’ devices and keeping track of their work. We intend to develop a system that not only respects the privacy of employees but also helps employers manage their employees and also get a reliable productivity report. We have been able to monitor the background activities and log in the application names and their active time. The employee authentication process is implemented via a face recognition system which helps in maintaining authenticity. A total of 135 desktop apps and websites were opened while using the application and out of that 125 were successfully logged and their time was recorded accurately and productivity was calculated.
