How are employees being tracked except the swiping of badges at door? Lately we are hearing lot of software's being installed in the system without employees being told that they are being tracked in a particular way. Anyone who can shed some light on this?

Software is already both singular and plural. Therefore “Softwares” is nonsensical.
“Software’s” only makes sense if you’re referring to some software’s attribute.

They can get a report from security showing each day what employees swipe. Everywhere around the building it tracks. That’s how they know how many days you’re in the office. They updated the electronic devices. They can probably read your pulse and heart rate too. They can tell if your hand is shaking when you swipe
Yes, BNYM measures everything possible , it will be measured and uses those measurements to evaluate employees. This called “good management of resources.”
The one thing I learned about BNYM is that they measure everything. If it can be measured, it will be measured and those measurements will be used to evaluate employees.
Don’t forget Suresh and Digital Pulse. Adding terabytes on top of terabytes of unorganized data for two decades?
Uh - they have always tracked lol. They have software that can tell number of key strokes and mouse movement. If that’s not tracking than what is? Lol
Well they tried to monitor employee badge swipes but many employees upped the ante by starting to swipe in for other employees and many of these jackwagons even bragged about it here. Pretty sure that HR reads this stuff here and now understands that they have a real problem when they can’t even trust employees to pretend to work.
Robin has to understand that employee slacking is our greatest HR problem, and sure enough we’re investing in software to measure and we already have another jackwagon asking “Anyone who can shed some light on this?”
We seem to hire a lot of bad apples.
Wow. Why wouldn’t you hope that HR "leaders" use this to weed out the bad apples? Productive employees are the only losers when the slackers get over on all of us. This is exactly why management no longer trusts us.
Imagine if we channeled all of that creativity towards doing our jobs rather than getting over on the system.
Really wish that you hadn’t mentioned that here. We were on the cusp of being able to displace all of these fake workers who share badges and other more creative shenanigans to game the system. Hopefully we can still get rid of these individuals. if there’s a good side to it , at least Robin must be aware of this issue.
PowerPoints are a 1990s solution. The moment that a PowerPoint is saved it’s out of date and it begins to cost the bank money in LAN space, time spent time manually looking for it, effort in combining it with other out of date PowerPoint decks, which themselves are obsolete. We have some limited experience with active dashboards but mysteriously we mostly suck the data out into more PowerPoints. On the positive side we’ve jettisoned the Bank’s beloved 1980s Lotus Notes although that took a Pittsburgh revolution.
Modern banks run off of live data at all times. We hav
What the manager who commented manage? The mail room????
If you’re really in management and unaware of these dashboards then you ought to at least learn your own engagement score. Knowing what your employees are up to is your prime function.

I’d love to know where some of you are coming up with this cr-p. I’m part of mgmt and I’m only aware of a report recently provided where we can see badge swipes a month at a time"
You may only be getting this report now but trust me they have been tracking swipes for over 25 years.

They are checking the IP address you log in from as well as the swipe in the building. So you can no longer have one person come in with a bunch of badges or show up for an hour and go home
Who out there never thought that ‘they’ can track your every move. Forget about the turnstile swipes, how about keg strokes, web sites visited and so on.
Is it paranoia if they are really watching you?
George Orwell lives. Just look at all the cameras around the office and how we are all being tracked
what if your "productivity" entails not being on Teams all day and actually doing real work on different apps? so i should just start scheduling pointless meetings with my colleagues ?
This is a welcome development. We have to get a handle on who is and who isn’t producing. It’s become a real issue.

Says the guy posting all day during work hours.
They track your collaboration on Teams and all the calls you make and people you chat with, how many hours weekly, etc. They can turn on the camera remotely if it's enabled to "allowed" in your settings.
All the swipes are being tracked, every time your badge is used. They track when you go through the "turnstile" and at every floor/door.

Regarding power point presentations ….
The amount of time I waste pulling information from 10 different sources to put in PowerPoint, slides for management to pretend that they’re interested in is amazing
Yes new electronic devices to replace the old. Every where you scan In the building is tracked. Not just front door. The updated equipment tracks time and day and exact location in building I think. Yes it knows where in the building you are accessing. They monitor your activity in teams. I noticed a while ago an email telling me what percentage of the week is spent on calls and meetings. It gave who I collaborate with the most
There is a new initiative, under the guise of productivity, to use data analytics from Teams to help you understand who you chat with most/least, email most/least, meet with most/least etc. This is being rolled at as dashboards for MDs, again, under the guise of productivity. But, knowing HR (don't you just love how fake/earnest those HR "leaders" are when they spout their BS. Expect it to be used to weeeed people out who are deemed as outliers in how productive they are, productivity being defined as attending endless meetings, spitting out endless powerpoint, and participating in endless Teams chats.
