Time and Productivity
December, the appraisal time.
Everybody waits for this eagerly but after this most of your employees
complain of unfair evaluation. And you at the other end are not able to
gauge the real thing. Sometimes the employees’ voice goes unheard. This
can lead to dissatisfaction among them and hence hampering the
productivity and ultimately the revenue of the company. This sometimes
leads to a bad image in the market as well and hence you can end up as a
non preferred employer.

The time and productivity tool acts as a scale to measure the work
and performance of the employees. This ensures the uniform and perfect
gauging of the employees’ work and hence leaving no room for injustice and
ensures transparency.
This will measure all the work done by the employees on a common
scale and after having the data about the employees, you can prepare a
report or rank them on that scale and decide the salary hikes, promotions
etc. on that basis. |
For each department you have, first decide the standard job which
is almost commonly done by majority of the team members of that department
or team. Now, calculate the average time spent on it by collecting few
samples of it from each member (getting precise, you can record average
time for doing each step involved in that job). This will give you a scale
that what is the average time required to do that job.
Average Time = Total
time spent ÷ Total number of samples collected
Now similarly, take the samples for time
spent on each job and calculate the average time accordingly. This will
give you an overall idea of the time spent on each job. Now based on the
productivity report for each employee, you can assess the productive time
of the employee and hence do the review on that basis.
And also with this you can measure the non-productive time of your office
and can use that much effectively in other constructive works and also can
plan further headcount hiring and also a reshuffle or expansion.
This will help you in ensuring a new broad outlook towards employee and
organization and at the same time leading to employee satisfaction. With
this everything will be in black and white leaving no grey areas, so those
who are real effective and working will prefer you as employer and the
idle ones will be sidelined. This will give you the maximum value of each
dollar spent on the employee.
