Abstract: One variation of a first method for collecting and sharing substantially real-time video feeds of employees within a distributed workforce includes: distributing a first subset of employee video feeds to a first instance of an employee portal; distributing a second subset of employee video feeds to a second instance of the employee portal; distributing the manager video feed to the first instance and the second instance of the employee portal; distributing the set of employee video feeds to an instance of the manager portal; in response to initiation of a recess for the first employee: replacing the first employee video feed with a recess icon in the second instance of the employee portal and the instance of the manager portal; initiating a timer for the recess; and in response to expiration of the timer, reactivating the first employee video feed.

Abstract: One variation of a method for monitoring non-compliant behaviors of employees in a distributed workforce includes, during a work period: accessing a video feed of a user captured by a camera coupled to a computing device operated by the user; at a first time during the work period, extracting a set of features from a subset of frames of the video feed; detecting an instance of non-compliant behavior based on the set of features; identifying a type of non-compliant behavior associated with the instance of non-compliant behavior; accessing a type of content rendered on a display of the computing device during the instance of non-compliant behavior; characterizing a risk score for the instance of non-compliant behavior based on the type of non-compliant behavior and the type of content; and, in response to the risk score exceeding a threshold risk, flagging the instance of non-compliant behavior for investigation.
