The next challenge is, increasing business operation costs and revenue is by 1.5 times every year and profits are not growing at the same rate. Two main factors which have been observed for these challenges are either; employees are inefficient for performing the tasks assigned or they have put themselves in the resting mode or they are lost not able to identify the areas where they are lacking as they do not have proper reports of the work done. Also, managers are struggling with it as they are not able to understand what is happening and how to improve it because they don’t have any records to showcase the mistakes done or to identify the areas of improvement. It’s seemingly impossible to record employee activities for identifying the areas of improvement, however, technology has made it easy with DeskTrack – A Time Tracking and Desktop Monitoring Solution. Reports/Records to overcome the challenges of every business

Productivity = (Time spent at work/ Shift Time (Office working hours)) x 100

Project Timesheets:
Revenue and profits depends upon the project and task delivered to the client, it should be delivered timely with high quality. To determine the profit ratio it is essential to record the actual hours spent on the project which should be compared directly with the project cost and team’s cost. Most of the time when profits are less, business operation cost is high, productivity is low then the Project Delivery Time is more as per the estimated time thus the project cost is increased by 1 or 2 times. Therefore to determine productivity the most important parameter is Project Timesheets.
