Why meeting analytics are about support - not surveillance.
If you work in a distributed or hybrid team, you’ve likely heard this before:
"Let’s turn cameras on so it feels like we’re all here.
Or worse:
"Let’s track who’s speaking more and who’s just sitting quiet."
It’s no surprise that 2025 has seen a sharp rise in employee monitoring software. According to a recent article by Wired, companies are increasingly turning to surveillance tools to measure productivity - often without fully informing staff. And The Guardian reports that AI-based tracking is quietly becoming a workplace norm, especially in remote-first setups.
But here’s the problem: more data doesn’t equal more trust. In fact, it often does the opposite.
Measuring ≠ Monitoring
At Ulla, we believe in a different approach.
Meeting analytics aren’t about spying - they’re about helping teams work better.
Our insights don’t record private actions or analyse off-screen behaviour. They look at what’s already happening in meetings - and offer a clearer picture of how people interact.
Because sometimes the quietest voice is the one holding back the biggest idea. And sometimes, the loudest speaker needs to make more space for others.
Ulla’s analytics show:
- Who’s engaged and how often - not to punish, but to support quieter voices
- Which meetings lead to action - so you can replicate what works
- How teams interact over time - helping spot silos, disengagement, or burnout
Transparency over Control
This isn’t performance review by stealth. It’s a way to give managers and teams alike more visibility, more context, and more fairness.
That’s especially valuable in distributed teams, where face time is limited and intuition alone isn’t enough.
It’s why Ulla works with full user control, secure storage, and no third-party access. Ulla’s privacy-first by design - because data should empower, not expose.
In the end, it’s not about who’s watching.
It’s about who’s helping.
Ulla isn’t here to judge your team.
Ulla’s here to support them - quietly, clearly, and without assumptions.
