\u201cTimekeeping is stuck in the 20th century. It\u2019s basically a digital version of an analog method. Right now is the perfect time to reimagine how it\u2019s done.\u201d<\/em>

Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Time tracking is a major problem well recognized by most CXOs across industries and yet timesheets rarely get a lot of good press among employees. Who likes to sign tons of papers just to \u201cprove\u201d that they had put in a certain amount of hours in a certain project. However, timesheets, when seen from an analytical perspective, can be truly beneficial for both managers and their team members. The key is to choose the correct solution for your group, set up processes you can follow intuitively, and bolster it with progressing communication. In this article, I will share provocative reasoning as to why you need timesheets and a couple of examples of how AI can make time tracking easier for the employer and less painful for an employee.<\/p>\n

#1) What are timesheets?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Professional services are a billable hours-driven industry. It would be handy if we knew how much time is spent on which project and by who. Timesheets contain pre-formatted fields in which daily tasks performed by each employee are filled. It not only helps Project Leaders and HR Managers, but it also helps the employees plan their day better. These timesheets when analysed over a period of time help us understand the current status of our projects as well as predict future manpower and cost requirements.<\/p>\n

2) Are employees wasting time at work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is easy to grumble about how employees nowadays simply don’t have hard-working attitudes or work ethic, however having the option to back that up with real insights? However, having the option to back that up with real insights is invaluable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Invaluable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A recent study from sample aggregated form similar companies shows that:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2022 65% of the employees waste 1 hour or less per day<\/p>\n

\u2022 25% of the employees waste 2 hours or less per day<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2022 10% of the employees waste 3 hours or more per day<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Statistics even show that those born in the 1980s waste almost 4 times as much time as those born in the 1940s. Some may even extrapolate that with access to so many distractions and short attention span millennials waste the most time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But who is to confirm such in-the-air judgments? That is why you need a professional time tracking solution to make employees accountable for their time thus driving maximum productivity for the hours they are being paid for.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3) How Artificial Intelligence can optimize time tracking?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Employees would rather take the time to justify a list of things they would want to do instead of filling out their timesheets. Make filling out these mundane things easier for your employees by using AI.<\/p>\n
