Navigating Workforce Optimization

Workforce optimization can be complicated and time-consuming.  Management will analyze their employees’ peak productivity hours and skill levels, teams’ overall output, office production and profit-margin… just to name a few.

Logs are maintained on employee’s real-time activities like programs they use and sites they visit. That data is then used to create a specialized User Activity Report that breaks down their productive workflow. You get to see which tasks are giving your employees the most difficulty and what is distracting them online—like social media or streaming sites like Netflix. 

Keep Productivity Up

User Activity Monitoring Software by ActivTrak makes workforce optimization simple by categorizing all tasks into two simple labels – productive and unproductive. This data can be looked at on an individual level or an organizational level.
