RescueTime for Time Management
RescueTime is a Time Management application that helps you manage your employees' time and motivation in order to maximize your company's productivity.
Workplace
Benefits:
The most valuable resource in the modern workplace is the time and
attention of its employees, yet most businesses (even those that
use timesheets) have only the vaguest notion of how this resource
is spent. With automated employee time tracking you gain the
following benefits:
- You can identify employees who are overworking or not aren't working very hard
- You can identify employees who are undertasked but are afraid to speak up about it
- You can identify employees who are unmotivated
- You can see how environment variables in the work place effect aggregate productivty. For example, when a team doubles in size, how does that change how people spend their time? How has productivity changed since you changed the layout of the office? What would happen if you instituted a "no email on Fridays" policy?
- You can identify the web sites that are expensive distractions for your team
- You can understand which software is actually being utilized by your team
Workplace Transparency Benefits
For teams with a high level of
trust, we recommend using RescueTime "in the open". This can allow
employees to see how they spend their own time compared to their
average peer, or can extend further to allow your team to look at
how other individuals spend their time. Workplace transparency like
this has powerful ramifications for the workplace. These
include:
- Increased productivity. Virtually everyone feels that they work
harder than the majority of their coworkers. Approximately half of
them are wrong. When employees can see how they spend their time,
they often feel more accountable. It's the equivalent of being able
to see a credit card statement
