Record activity of users

Management wants to know what employees are doing if working remotely. I would like to track and store their activity while they are connected to our work server via remote access.

I need to track all user activity such as select, insert, update and delete and put it into a table in order to create a report.

The Database we use is Microsoft SQL Server 2012.

I have no answers because I am not a programmer but a few more facts would assist those who do ... what kind of database, version, etcetera?
Is auditing part of the application your users use?
Are you talking about recording their keystrokes?

Remotely how, via VPN or on gaged into Remote Desktop applications?
Much depends on what you are looking for. Publish an application such that the remote user has a limit of they can do.

The application has to have auditing I.e. Medical, financial, etc. commonly gave auditing of which record a user accessed and when.

To track all user activities, you need to have an agent installed and act as a surveillance  services which user cannot disable or remove it without authorisation. Better to explore solution along the user activity monitoring aspect. One of which is ObserveIT. https://documentation.observeit.com/configuration_guide/user_recording_policy.htm

It can be a VPN or internal network. We need to be able to track it in SQL Server environment.
