“I've been fighting a war with timesheets for over 30 years. You have to let automation work for you. If you're not doing that, you're becoming more obsolete every day.”

Make time tracking part of your workflow

DeskTime is an employee time tracking app that helps teams improve productivity and promote work-life balance by monitoring and analyzing how individuals allocate their time during work hours.
A time tracker is a software tool designed to help individuals and teams monitor and manage how they allocate their time throughout the day. People track their time by using the time tracker tool to log their activities, tasks, and projects, typically by starting and stopping timers or manually inputting time spent on various activities. This allows users to gain insights into their productivity levels, identify time-wasting activities, and make more informed decisions about how to prioritize tasks and manage their workload effectively.
Solutions like DeskTime offer comprehensive features for accurately monitoring and managing work time for both individuals and teams. Simply log into the app and start using the time tracker by initiating timers or manually inputting time spent on various tasks. Using time tracking software like the DeskTime time tracker, you can easily track your own work time or oversee your team's productivity, ensuring efficient time utilization and maximizing productivity.
This self-analysis will motivate both you and your employees to do better and avoid any unnecessary and unproductive actions like those well-known “fast and easy” 5-minute jobs many of us are often asked to do. Employees who track time can access accurate productivity calculations to note how much these extra jobs actually take up their day and be able to make better decisions on whether it’s worth interrupting their workflow.
Yes! Using a time tracker can help highlight overachievers and spot team members who are struggling or might need some extra help. This is a great way to catch and prevent burnout, as well as rethink resource distribution.
First thing’s first – DeskTime is certainly not a spy tool, but it’s no secret that some might use time recording apps to track online activity in ways that aren’t employee-friendly. Managers have the right to know how their employees get the job done, but it's imperative to also value your team's time and privacy while monitoring employees. That's why DeskTime even has a Private time feature that disables the time tracker for when you have to take care of non-work-related tasks during office hours.
You have to remember that using a work time tracker is a two-way street of communication, so it’s best to lead by example. Yes, it gives managers an overview of what their employees are doing during the workday, but it’s also a tool to help employees show their progress and ask for help if needed. Be transparent and honest about implementing team time tracking and take the time to show its benefits. For example, DeskTime lets you set break reminders, encourage private time, and eliminate overworking so your team members feel rested, valued, and safe.
Whether you’re managing a team of 3 or overseeing an organization of 3,000 employees, DeskTime fits right in. It’s designed to scale effortlessly, so you get the same smooth experience no matter your size.
