Regular meetings are the perfect opportunity to find out more about the needs of our teams, both as a unit and as individuals. Listen to the issues voiced at meetings and offer solutions to your employees. If your team feels valued and respected, they are less likely to burn out in the first place. And if they feel like you care, they may come to you when they really start to feel overwhelmed, giving you a chance to nip burnout in the bud before it begins.

Our employees on ActivTrak seem to have a balance during their work weeks, i.e not seeing too much of a burnout risk naturally so there was no need for management to get involved with our employees' balance once we gain data insights. However, it has certainly increased employee satisfaction as this software allows our employees to work from home 2 days per week.

We have used ActivTrak to monitor overall employee productivity, including if employees are attempting to work outside of business hours. This has enabled us to combat burnout risk and see areas where employees may need additional training or guidance in one area or another. Being able to see all of this data on an easy to read platform has been a game changer for us and has allowed us to put more trust in our remote team.

Moreover, within the team, I get immediate access to their individual work track and start working with the lowest tracking individuals first. After clarification of data errors/workflow tools process etc, feedback is given to the individual, and almost immediate improvement is seen.

Data shows if an employee is being overutilized or working excessive hours. The nice thing is that you can see what times people are working. Is it within a normal working day or are employees working through lunch and dinner and overworking.
