Available on all plans · No credit card required
Six ways eMonitor turns activity into employee monitoring reports and dashboards.
Pre-built templates for the common HR reporting questions. A custom report builder for the rest. Scheduled delivery for the people who need the answer.
Pre-built report templates
Twenty-five ready-made employee monitoring reports cover attendance, productivity, app and website usage, alerts, project time, and executive summaries. Filter, save, and share workforce analytics in seconds.
Custom report builder
Pick workforce metrics, apply filters, choose a chart, and save as a reusable template. Every field in the activity log is available as a column, group, or aggregate for custom HR reports.
Scheduled email delivery
Daily, weekly, or monthly scheduled reports to any recipient list. PDF for stakeholders, CSV for analysts, webhook for pipelines. Time zone aware and pause-friendly.
Role-based dashboard views
Team leads see their team. Department heads see the department. Executives see the roll-up. Every role-based view respects the same permission model across every report, dashboard, and API response.
Real-time dashboards
Real-time workforce dashboards show live team status, trending KPIs, and the current alert feed without page reloads. Widgets recompute the moment new activity data lands in the pipeline.
Unlimited exports and BI integrations
CSV and PDF exports on every plan. Enterprise adds REST API and outbound webhook delivery so eMonitor feeds Tableau, Power BI, Looker, or a Snowflake warehouse rather than living on an island.
One workforce analytics dashboard for every employee monitoring report you send.
Track what got delivered, who opened it, how many hours it saved, and which HR report templates get requested again.
Weekly report activity
Top requested reports
Configure, schedule, and deliver your HR reports.
From blank template to a Monday-morning inbox in three steps, no spreadsheets required.
Configure the report
Start from one of 25 employee monitoring report templates or the empty custom builder. Pick metrics, apply filters for team, department, individual, or activity type, and choose a chart style. Preview the result on real workforce data before you save.
Schedule the delivery
Set a cadence for scheduled reports: daily, weekly, or monthly. Add recipients by email or by role. Pick your time zone so the CFO in London and the operations lead in Manila both see the report at 7 a.m. local.
Deliver to every stakeholder
eMonitor generates the report on schedule, encrypts it, and delivers as PDF, CSV, or API payload. Recipients open a share link that respects their role-based access level, so nobody sees more than their permissions permit.
Every scheduled report is a versioned, auditable HR reporting object.
See exactly which template ran, with which filters, to which recipients, in which format, for compliance-ready workforce reporting.
Four audiences, four purpose-built workforce reporting views.

- Delivered as branded PDF the first business day of every month
Team performance reports (managers)
- Real-time status of every direct report and today's focus time
- This week's productivity trend per individual with drill-down
- Attendance compliance, overtime alerts, and workload balance
- Monday morning digest email plus a live in-app team dashboard
Compliance reporting (auditors and HR)

- Delivered as signed PDF plus raw CSV for external auditors
Client billing reports (agencies)

Employee monitoring dashboards built for teams that answer to more than one audience.
Manual spreadsheets vs. eMonitor automated workforce analytics dashboards.
The gap widens every quarter for HR reporting teams. Here is what it looks like today.
| Reporting dimension | Manual spreadsheet reporting | eMonitor automated dashboards |
|---|---|---|
| Time to first report | 2–6 hours per report, per week | Under 10 minutes, then fully automatic |
| Data freshness | Whenever someone remembered to update the file | Real-time dashboards, refreshed on activity |
| Template consistency | Formulas drift, columns move, versions fork | Versioned templates, single source of truth |
| Access control | Whoever has the file link sees everything | Role-based views, per-user, per-report |
| Report delivery | Manual email attach, easy to miss | Scheduled PDF, CSV, or REST API push |
| Audit trail | None. What ran? Who saw it? | Every run logged, timestamped, and hashed |
Rule of thumb: if the same report gets sent more than twice, it belongs on a schedule. Teams that automate HR reporting and workforce analytics recover an average of six hours per manager per week, time that goes back into coaching and responding to alerts rather than assembling PowerPoints.
Every workforce report export in a format your auditor already accepts.
Employee monitoring reporting is only useful if the wrong person can't see it.
- Role-based access on every view. Team leads see their team. Department heads see the department. Executives see aggregated KPIs. Raw individual data is available only to designated administrators, and every access event is written to the audit log.
- Data minimization by default. Reports carry only the columns the audience needs. An executive summary ships productivity percentages and headcount, not names. HR reporting gets attendance without app-level detail. Auditors get metadata without document content.
- Announce before scheduling. Inform employees about which reports run, who receives them, and how long the underlying data is retained. See our best-practices guide and country-by-country legal requirements.
- Employees see their own numbers. Every person has a personal workforce dashboard showing the same metrics that feed team reports. Transparency turns monitoring reports from surveillance into a shared performance conversation.
Employee Monitoring Reports & Dashboards FAQ
What employee monitoring reports does eMonitor generate?
eMonitor ships with 25+ employee monitoring report templates covering time and attendance, individual and team productivity, app and website usage, alert history, project time allocation, and executive summaries. Every template can be filtered by date range, team, department, or individual, and saved as a personal or shared template for reuse across your workforce analytics dashboards.
Can I schedule automatic report delivery by email?
Yes. Professional and Enterprise plans support scheduled email report delivery on daily, weekly, or monthly cadences. Set the recipient list, choose PDF or CSV, pick your time zone, and eMonitor generates and emails the report on schedule. Schedules can be paused, edited, or archived at any time without touching the underlying template.
Can I build custom reports and workforce analytics dashboards?
Yes. The custom report builder lets you pick any combination of metrics, apply filters, choose visualizations, and save the result as a reusable template. Custom workforce analytics dashboards use the same drag-and-drop widget library, so team leads, HR, and executives each get a view tuned to their questions rather than a one-size-fits-all screen.
What export formats do the employee monitoring dashboards support?
All plans include CSV for spreadsheet analysis and PDF for stakeholder-ready share files. Enterprise plans add REST API access and webhook delivery so employee monitoring reports and dashboards can flow into Tableau, Power BI, Looker, or a data warehouse without manual export steps.
How long is historical report data retained?
Starter plans retain detailed data for 30 days and summaries for 6 months. Professional retains detailed data for 90 days and summaries for 12 months. Enterprise supports configurable retention up to 24 months detailed, with aggregated summaries kept indefinitely for long-range workforce trend analysis and HR reporting.
Do the dashboards respect role-based access control?
Yes. Every dashboard, report, and API response is scoped by the viewer's role. A team lead sees only their direct reports. A department head sees their department. HR sees organization-wide attendance and compliance data. Executives see aggregated KPIs. Raw individual data is available only to designated administrators, keeping role-based views consistent across the platform.
Can eMonitor feed workforce analytics into external BI tools?
Yes on Enterprise. The REST API exposes real-time and historical endpoints with OAuth 2.0 authentication and configurable scopes. Webhook notifications push events into Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, or a custom warehouse pipeline so eMonitor becomes one source among many in your workforce analytics and HR reporting stack.
How quickly can a manager build their first custom report?
Most managers publish their first custom employee monitoring report in under 10 minutes. Start from a template, adjust the filters, add or remove columns, preview, and save. The dashboard builder is equally fast: 4 to 6 widgets is usually enough for a working view on day one, and you can refine it as you learn which numbers you actually check every morning.
