10 ways to improve productivity for remote/hybrid employees

Posted On March 30, 2023

Employee productivity drives business growth. Knowing how focused are your workforce helps keep them motivated and performing. It also makes you learn how efficiently they utilize their work hours and execute their roles, also the areas where they can achieve more.

Tracking employee productivity has become trickier with more organizations working in a hybrid / remote environment with a distributed workforce across the globe. There isn’t enough historical data to know whether the same level of productivity is being achieved while working from home or remote location. 

Slippage in productivity levels across the organization or in a certain department can have a huge business impact, in terms of loss of revenue and credibility.

Organizations having a hybrid work environment need an effective solution like wAnywhere remote employee productivity monitoring tool. It enables them to manage, monitor, assess / analyze employee work patterns and align them to business goals. It also helps them to find utilization metrics whether their workforce is over-utilized, under-utilized, or working at the optimum level. 

Management can take corrective action to bring the metrics to adequate levels and also recognize employees who are performing.

Below are some of the features in wAnywhere, which companies can leverage to have granular control over productivity as well as get macro visualizations and reporting through our intuitive drill-down dashboard:

Unproductive app and web usage, exceeding idle, break, or aux time, and less than defined work hours are major factors that greatly impact employee productivity. 

Track their work patterns and measure what activities result in unproductive hours. Define productivity parameters to monitor performance. Extend support when they need to improve productivity and keep your remote teams aligned with the business goals. 

…because unproductive employee hours result in inefficiency and lead to unoptimized business operations. Moreover, an unproductive employee delays tasks that impact project deadlines and business revenue.

While a productive employee adds value to the performed work that meets expectations and satisfies the requirements to lead growth.

An employee performing quality work within the defined hours is considered productive. If your remote teams work focused and align their efforts toward business goals, they’re performing productively. To achieve this, you need to define productivity metrics and track teams against what productive apps and websites remote teams access, whether they use predefined idle, break, and aux time, and what hours they work. It helps improve productivity in remote work.
