Let me give you an advise, the thing about "art making" is that it doesn't matter how the "artists" (your employees of course) will do the job that you require them, as long as they did it on the deadline... bisan pa ug let's say you ask them to make a poster and pass it at the end of the day, then nag facebook, or tan aw ug porn or sige CR or whatever ilahang gibuhat from the 1st hour up to the 7th hour ug they only make the poster an hour before mo time out but they were able to do it, then i guess it's good. Dili baya na sila engineers, teachers, call center peeps or other "normal type" jobs nga naa system/workflow/procedure nga tumanon... others kay mas ganahan ug clutch time and usually work before the deadline while others like to start early.... they are "considered" artists for crying out loud... you should know that bossing or at least be aware man lang..............

@quibs - Wala ko kabalo unsay environment sa imo company, but recalling na naay surveillance cams sa imo employees is something new in a design firm, SERIOUSLY. (in my POV. We do have one here in the reception area, for security purposes and not for spying) I had the opportunity to visit Leo Burnett office in Makati when I was still in college. And kato na office set the bar, nga if makasulod kog firm dapat stress free environment. Stress should come only from the client and not from the office walls. Considering this line of work is stressful enough for anyone I know. Professional Graphic Artists/Designers don't need to give updates every hour. Set a time frame and they can/will finish it. Social interaction helps also for them to be motivated. Blog/Tweet/Post status all they want as long as naay mapasa.
