Why time tracking and productivity reports will make a difference

Time tracking data on its own won't tell you much. Reports help you put performance data into context. Great for small or large teams alike.

Spot patterns

When you compare data over time, you can start noticing repeat habits and patterns, signaling potential room for improvement.

Set benchmarks

Once you have all the data on hand, you can figure out specific productivity or other goals your team should hit.

Real-time data

The Reports section is constantly updated throughout the day, giving precise insights into what happens at any given time.

Take care of these issues with time tracking reports

Lack of big picture

One day's statistics, while great, won't tell you much – seeing the data in context is the key.

Complicated team management

When managing larger teams of hundreds, reports give you a quick, clear view of everyone’s activities.

Unaccountability

Instant access to current and historical data lets you keep up with team progress anytime.

Frequently asked questions about DeskTime Reports

A time tracking report is a summary of all the data that the time tracking app has collected, presenting it in a digestible format. DeskTime's Reports feature offers various types of data summaries (general overview, project time analysis, comparisons, etc.), which you can further customize by filtering users or teams and setting different periods to be included in the report. The data can also be downloaded in the Exports section if you want to do further analysis or keep the information in your archives.
An employee productivity report provides insights into how your employees work – how productively they spend their work hours. DeskTime's daily productivity reports show how much time each employee has spent on productive, unproductive, and neutral apps/websites and expresses this time into a productivity percentage (how the productive hours stack up to the total hours spent at work). You can also access data about longer periods (weekly, monthly, or custom). The employee time reports help you quickly spot your best performers and those with lower productivity who might need assistance or are simply not performing at their top level.
To report productivity, you need a way to measure it, and the simplest way to do that is to use a time tracking app, which also analyzes performance. The DeskTime time tracking software also includes a productivity calculation feature. The app tracks your activities throughout the day and calculates your productivity and effectiveness based on the productivity status assigned to each website and app you use. The productivity stats are available in each user's "My DeskTime" section and accessible through Reports.
When you explain time tracking to an employee, it's essential to be as transparent as possible and to address any potential concerns ahead of time. It's a good idea to tell your team just how you plan to use the tool – what stats you'll be paying attention to, which features you'll be using (particularly when it comes to features like Screenshots, which will be perceived as more intrusive), etc. It's also important to stress the benefits employees themselves can get out of this tool – by tracking the time they spend at work, they can ensure greater work-life balance by not overworking or ensuring that all of their work is compensated fairly, including overtime.
Yes, it's possible to monitor employee productivity – the easiest way to do that is by using a time tracking app like DeskTime, which offers productivity analysis and other related features. The app tracks employee activities during work hours, analyzes their productivity and effectiveness, and presents the results in dashboards and reports. What counts as productive and not is determined by the administrators – you can set productivity statuses for each website and app and adjust them to suit different teams (so, for example, social media sites can be set as productive for the marketing team, while for everyone else they can be unproductive).
The easiest way to measure employee productivity is to use an automatic time tracking app like DeskTime, which will do all the analysis for you. DeskTime calculates productivity by tracking the time spent on productive apps/websites and dividing it by the total number of hours worked. Each website and app your employees visit is given a productivity status (productive, unproductive, neutral), which is used in the calculations. You can customize these statuses for different teams, so the same app can be productive for one team and unproductive for another, depending on the type of work they do.
The best way to track employee hours is to use a time tracking app like DeskTime. It will provide you with the most accurate time tracking data (down to the second if you wish!), and it works automatically, so such factors as human error play a much smaller role in the results. The DeskTime app not only tracks the time employees spend at work – it can provide you with productivity analysis and many other features, depending on your needs. The tracked data is available for you to check anytime in the Reports section, dashboard, and elsewhere.
The main purpose for using time tracking is to gain clear and precise information on your employees' work hours – if everyone's putting in the required time, arriving and leaving at the correct times, etc. Time tracking is essential because these time management reports provide unbiased data that can become crucial when making decisions about promotions, wages, etc. Time tracking can also provide you with data not only about how long people are working but also how productive they are – DeskTime's features like productivity calculation, project tracking, and others will let you keep up with work progress effortlessly.
