7 Ways Video Surveillance Drives Company Productivity

Most business owners recognize that a video surveillance solution plays a critical role in boosting overall security within an organization. However, many company leaders don’t know that using video surveillance can also boost productivity throughout the business as well. Beyond keeping your people, products, and property safe, an innovative video surveillance system can also drive company productivity in these seven ways.

  1. Enhanced Security
    Creating a safe work environment does more than keep employees safe. A video surveillance system acts as a deterrent against theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access. When employees know they are being monitored, they are less likely to engage in inappropriate or illegal activities at work. Additionally, creating a safer work environment allows employees to better focus on their tasks, which can directly impact overall productivity levels.

  2. Monitored Workflow
    Video surveillance provides real-time insight on what’s working with operations — and what still needs work. Managers and employees can observe workflow concerns and identify bottlenecks as they are happening. By analyzing the footage, companies can optimize processes, reorganize tasks, and make informed decisions to improve overall productivity.

  3. Time Theft Prevention
    Time theft at an organization refers to occurrences of employees spending work hours on non-work-related activities. Video surveillance systems can promote employees focusing and remaining on task to use their time at work most effectively. Discouraging time theft can result in higher productivity levels across the organization.

  4. Dispute Resolution and Increased Workplace Accountability
    People may have very different recollections of a specific event, but the camera never lies. Video surveillance offers an unbiased record of occurrences on the property, which can be invaluable for resolving disputes and increasing workplace accountability. When employees know that video surveillance systems monitor the property, they are more likely to follow company guidelines more closely, leading to improved productivity. 

  5. Training and Performance Evaluations
    Video surveillance footage can be used for training purposes, allowing managers to analyze employee performance and provide constructive feedback. By identifying areas for improvement, companies can offer targeted training and development programs, resulting in a more skilled and productive workforce.

  6. Maintaining Occupational Health and Safety
    Installing a video surveillance solution can play a critical role in ensuring a company adheres to all health and safety regulations and compliance mandates. Monitoring areas throughout the organization can help quickly identify potential hazards and unsafe operational practices, allowing businesses to make the changes needed to prevent accidents and reduce downtime. A safer work environment improves employee morale, reduces absenteeism, and increases productivity.

  7. Remote Monitoring and Management:
    With advancements in technology, video surveillance systems can now be accessed remotely. This enables managers to monitor operations, address issues, and make timely decisions from anywhere, enhancing efficiency and productivity by eliminating the need for constant physical presence.
