Stealing time means charging an employer for work time when the employee was not working. This is a huge problem throughout the world with the advent of smartphones and social media. Many workers sit at their stations all day searching the web or flipping through Instagram. This is a new form of white-collar crime in commercial spaces.
There is a way you can prevent your employees from stealing time, however. We install glass walls in commercial spaces that allow you to keep an eye on your employees throughout the day. It is a shame that we need to suggest this, but if your employees are stealing your time, it’s time to hold them accountable for their actions.
Commercial Glass Walls Keep Employees Working
The solution is an obvious one, but it is also a necessary one. Your employees are there to do their jobs. Unfortunately, many employees go well beyond their break times and lunch times with their social media activities, phone calls, and text messaging. To think about paying an employee to have fun on his or her Facebook page is disheartening.
Commercial glass walls do more than beautify your commercial space. They also allow you to quickly check all employees to see if anyone is on their mobile phone, scrolling on Twitter, or shopping online. The employees will not have the privacy they had to do whatever they want during their shifts. Rather, they will have to do their jobs.
Again, it is a shame, but people are addicted to smart devices and cannot put them down these days. In addition to helping you prevent time theft, glass walls can also prevent supply or merchandise theft. Make sure your supply room and merchandise storage spaces have glass walls so you can see employees when they are inside them.
Commercial Glass Walls Keep Employees Safe
Let’s talk about safety now. We live in a heightened time when people behave irrationally. Former employees return to their previous workplace and open fire. Employees get into fights over politics and other issues. People are under tremendous pressure after dealing with COVID-19 for over two years. Everyone is edgy and stressed.
Glass walls give everyone a clear vision throughout the entire office in case you have an active shooter event or two employees decide to turn the workplace into a boxing ring. Being able to see throughout the commercial space keeps people safe because it gives them time to respond to emergency situations. Call us today for more information about glass walls.
