Do You Like Filling Out Your Daily Time Sheets?

Of course you don’t! Nobody does. Let’s face it, it’s a boring repetitive task that has no real meaning for staff and represents a grinding chore at the end of the day, when we are tired and just want to go home.

Boost Staff Morale:
From our own experience, getting staff to adopt automated time tracking software is easy once they realize they need never complete another time sheet again, and that the last 15 minutes of the day are no longer to be consumed by a task that is genuinely hated in every business we have ever met. And if your staff are happy, you are happy because in general, happy staff are more conscientious about the quality of their work and in general work harder!

Work Interruptions:
Studies also show that when you interrupt someone’s concentration, it can take between 20-30 minutes for that person to get back up to speed on what they were doing prior to that interruption. So if you want your staff to complete a time sheet every 15 minutes to increase data accuracy (see also Time Sheet Accuracy Costs), then the level of concentration for your staff is likely to be compromised, and productivity diminished as a consequence.

With MetriQ®, because there are no time sheets, there's nothing for yours staff to complete at the end of the day. In addition, MetriQ has the ability to time when staff are not at their desk, or when co-workers interrupt or the telephone goes off. Instead, time is 'managed' by staff by a less invasive process, most of which is done behind the scenes by intelligent software and a wide variety of tools to help ease the burden of this mundane and repetitive task, while at the same time producing accurate and consistent time data.

A Smoker's Case Study:
In recent years the casual smoker has become the pariah of modern day living, forced to draw on nicotine laced smoke in either specially designed rooms or outside in the parking lot. But have you ever considered the costs in terms of lost billable hours because of smoking? Then read this article on Smoking Costs for Time sheet Users, and find out what this addictive habit is costing your business each and every day.
