Setting Clear Time Goals

The foundation of effective time tracking lies in setting clear daily goals. Establishing daily time goals with work schedules and activating notifications ensures team members are reminded to track their work, fostering accountability and motivation within the team. The progress towards these goals is easily monitored, ensuring alignment with overall objectives.

Assign Work Schedules

By assigning specific work schedules to each employee, you establish a tangible time goal for them to track their hours against. This clarity empowers team members to plan their day effectively, knowing precisely how many hours they are expected to track. Moreover, it enables you to monitor their tracked hours through the Pace Report, facilitating the identification of any discrepancies between their tracked time and the established time goals. This proactive approach ensures that everyone stays on track and enables swift intervention if any team member falls short of their expected hours.

Diverse Tracking Methods

Encouraging diverse tracking methods is vital for a successful adoption of time tracking. TrackingTime offers various options tailored to different workflows: Web and Desktop for computer-based work, Mobile for on-the-go tracking, and an Extension for integration with other apps. Each method comes equipped with notifications, ensuring users never miss logging their time. The Desktop version even features Autotrack, a convenient feature recording user events for reference, enhancing accuracy and completeness of tracking.

Enable Notifications

Empower your team to stay compliant with time tracking by leveraging email and in-app notifications. These notifications serve as gentle reminders, notifying team members when they fall short of meeting their time goals. Additionally, encourage the use of desktop notifications to provide real-time prompts whenever they veer off course from tracking their time within their assigned work schedules. By using reminders effectively, your team can foster a culture of accountability and time management, ensuring productivity remains at the forefront of their daily workflow.

Recommend AutoTrack as a Safety Net

Encourage your employees to install the desktop app and enable AutoTrack to have a local backup of all their activity. This feature acts as a safety net, ensuring that even if they forget to track their time manually, all their activities are securely recorded. In case of any lapses or forgetfulness, users can rely on these records to accurately capture their work hours and maintain completeness in their time tracking records. With AutoTrack enabled, users can have peace of mind knowing that their time tracking efforts are supported by a reliable backup system.

Monitoring Progress with Pace Report

Keeping a close eye on team progress is made effortless with TrackingTime’s Pace report. This feature provides quick access to monthly records, highlighting users who might be falling short of their goals. Additionally, enabling email notifications delivers weekly reports summarizing the team’s tracked time directly to your inbox, facilitating proactive management and intervention when necessary.

TrackingTime’s Pace reports offer comprehensive insights into team productivity trends, allowing managers to identify areas for improvement and make data-driven decisions.

Empower Your Team with Helpful Reminders
