A mobile application system for remote monitoring of employees in organizations

Abstract

Various challenges are experienced in different organizations when employees have to work from home or other environments. Mothers on maternity leave are mostly forced to stay home and take care of their babies for a couple of months before resuming work. Viral disease outbreak like what is currently happening globally on COVID has also greatly influenced a lot of organizations to encourage work from home and lastly long business trips by certain employers brings about working on the go which changes the environment at which work is performed. All this issues cause challenges that include a delay in tasks given to employees or sometimes issues with how poorly the work is done due to lack of adequate supervision by employers. This often causes a delay in the progress of work in the company which may end up bringing negative results. Some employees may make someone else work for them for a pay or simply because they may be too occupied with other things, most employers are never aware of such cases. This brings a loss on the employers end since they always have to pay their employees who may not be productive from their end. These problems can be solved by creating a system that helps employers to monitor the work progress of their employees based on the tasks and deliverables given. The system should allow employers to set deadlines for certain tasks to be performed. Notifications will be sent to employees to ensure that this will be properly achieved. The system should also provide a communication platform where employees of various departments coordinate with each other and another where employees meet one on one with their employer to discuss on the tasks performed. This will help the employer track both active and dormant members. The system should be able to provide a separate platform (AOB) that will inform the employer about the individual problems of employees that may make them unable to work from home or other unforeseen locations for example; unstable network, lack of internet access and power supply issues. The research methodology will be qualitative. Object Oriented Analysis will be the design methodology used and the development methodology used will be software prototyping
