Try just using psexec to see if that works:
psexec \\computer cmdpsexec \hostname cmd errors saying psexec is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet. Suggestion [3,General] the command psexec was not found, but does exist in the current location.
Do you have PSTools downloaded and extracted to your Windows / System32 directory, as well as NirCMD?
I opted for Windows directory when prompted. I'll double check.
Edit: looks like that is what was needed. Thanks.

Just to CYA you should probably get HR to open a ticket with exactly what they want so it's documented.

Agreed, they were both on the call (owner and HR). I got everything documented and will have them sign it the next time I'm in the office to implement.

I have used ActivTrak
https://activtrak.com/That software is pretty damn powerful for being a free sign up for a few users... wow. Didn't find a remote remove option, which would be nice. Had to manually run the app again to remove it from the test machine.

We CAN get these from ScreenConnect. We don't, but we can. It DOES have a tray icon, but it's relatively tame since it is the tray icon for support, not screen caps.
SC will let you see what is 'active' on the screen.. with some delay. It's not always possible.
The other thing, is that it's not the greatest at showing what is on the screen... though - a person can determine what is being done.. It become more difficult if the remote computer has multiple monitors.

There is a remote option it is just you need to ask for it.
