Truist is tracking the productivity of employees by using software that tracks mouse clicks and time in meetings. Be sure to accept teams meetings and move your mouse. They're looking at who to layoff and rather than actually manage output, they're using this software.

Can anyone provides more details ably this?
This currently rolled out to all contractors. No FTEs that I have heard of.
There is an application called Sapience Analytics at the bank. It is in the application inventory.
People who say they are tracking everyone how do you think they do it? Is it done at the HR level? EL? For the consultants? I used to be a high level manager at Truist who left about 8 months ago and never did this or heard of my peers/boss requesting or reviewing it.
No Teammates should give a damn!
I have actually seen a teammate on a call, wide open in the office, loudly reviewing someone’s click by click moves on their computer. They were on the phone with a manager and the employees they were discussing were temporary workers. But, if they are doing this to temps, they have to be doing it to FTEs.
They are tracking everyone, not just contractors
Corporations have tracked keystrokes for decades. Nothing new here.
Just another sign of management failure. They wouldn’t need Sapience if they understood how work happens and established real world metrics that gage productivity.
Everyone in IT knows that offshore contractors are double booked and grossly unproductive. Only 10-20% of them are even slightly productive, just enough to maintain the contract.
They are tracking Contractors only. Using a tool called Sapience.
They’re detecting mouse movers, too
I don’t know if this is true, but if someone in a decision making role thinks being in a meeting is an indicator of productivity, then that person should be fired.
Thus cr-p is why automatic mouse movers exist.
You know this how?
