Overall Satisfaction with ActivTrak
With a 100% remote workforce, ActivTrak is used to help both management and employees track how they spend their time. It is especially helpful as a means to look into the activities of those employees who are struggling to meet their objectives, but employees also find it useful to make sure their work time is logged automatically replacing tedious, manual time tracking efforts of the past.
Pros
- Application usage tracking
- Productive/non-productive time tracking
- Individual/Team activity reporting
Cons
- Allow user to identify customer project they are working on
- log in/out to allow untracked personal use of corporate assets
- perhaps a systray icon and/or desktop widget with some user-specific metrics
- Accountability allows the remote workforce to stay remote
- Identifying and rewarding productive employees keeps them motivated to remain productive
- Transparency allows for no surprises for under-performing employees when discipline is required
- Automatic - there's no need for employees to "punch a clock"
- Transparent - employees see exactly what employers are observing
- Centralized reporting
- Organizational consistency - all managers use the same tools to track employee productivity
Identifying, comparing and contrasting the time use of our productive and less-productive employees has been invaluable in our training efforts of both new employees and re-focusing the efforts of those who require it. Employees seeing their efforts are being tracked also helps motivate them to get/remain productive and maintain healthy work-life balances - especially with a 100% remote workforce.
Identifying opportunities to shift work-loads from those who are overloaded to those who have more free-time allows us to service our customers efficiently and effectively. It also aids in identifying work habits that consistently prove more productive and incorporating those into training documentation for new hires and those who may need redirection.
We don't use ActivTrak to influence our workflow or resource utilization efforts.
