Understanding these prerequisites is the key to successfully boosting productivity. In my case, it was 40%.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1.<\/b><b> Setting Goals<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first rule I always implement is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/desktrack.timentask.com\/productivity-measurement-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>productivity measurement<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Thus, the goals you set must be achievable, measurable, and transparent. Like I always say, you can only get there, if you know where to go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, the <\/span><b>employee productivity <\/b><b>tracking<\/b> <b>software<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you use must know what to monitor. Overall, I recommend clearly stating your objectives and then taking actionable <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">decisions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2.<\/b><b> 1:1 Meetings<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another thing I did before implementing the <\/span><b>productivity <\/b><b>tracker<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is become transparent with my employees. Your team members must know why, when, and how much they are being tracked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, meetings before and after <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tracking<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with your <\/span><b>employee productivity tracking software<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are also good practices for keeping tabs on your employees\u2019 progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Have Written Employee Consent<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even after having one-on-one meetings with your employees, you must have written consent from your employees before using your <\/span><b>productivity tracker<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Otherwise, you can get into legal trouble for cases against spying on your employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Train Your Employees<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your tech-savvy employees might work around properly using <\/span><b>employee productivity tracking software<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, for your other clueless staff members, I recommend blending training to use such software into their schedule. Besides, a little training for everyone always provides good results.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Slow &amp; Steady Implementation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A common mindset, even for employees of today is to live and let live. Thus implementing your <\/span><b>productivity tracker<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> all of a sudden will bring the workflow to a standstill. Your employees will be confused and will assume it is spying and mistrust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what we recommend you do is slowly and steadily implement the <\/span><b>employee productivity tracking software<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> gradually synching its usage into the daily work schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Read Also:<\/span> <a style=\"color: #ff00ff;\" title=\"8 Productivity Hacks for Small Businesses: Must-Know Tips &amp; Strategies\" href=\"https:\/\/desktrack.timentask.com\/blog\/productivity-hacks-for-businesses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">8 Productivity Hacks for Small Businesses: Must-Know Tips &amp; Strategies<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Features_That_Make_The_Best_Employee_Productivity_Tracking_Software\"><\/span><b>Features<\/b><b> That Make The Best <\/b><b>Employee<\/b><b> Productivity Tracking <\/b><b>Software<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing a good <\/span><b>software for tracking <\/b><b>productivity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was overwhelming for me too.
