How Can Using a Time Tracking Tool Improve Productivity?
This type of
self-assessment can motivate you and your employees to avoid unnecessary and
unproductive behaviors, such as the infamous "quick and easy five-minute
tasks." Employees who track their time can see how much of their time
these extra tasks actually take and can better decide whether or not to
interrupt their workflow.
How Do You Communicate with Your Employees When Using a Time Tracking
System?
It's important to remember
that time tracking is a two-way communication channel and an example. Sure,
supervisors can know what their employees are doing throughout the workday, but
it's also a monitoring
tool for employees to show their progress and ask for help when they need
it. Be transparent and honest when introducing a time tracking system and take
the time to demonstrate its benefits. For example, time tracking system can
help team members feel rested, valued and protected by reminding them to take
breaks, encouraging personal time and preventing burnout.
