Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I track staff productivity?

Does "Productivity Tracking" mean micromanaging my team?
Not at all. It’s about giving the team precise goals and the information they require to measure their own accomplishments. It substitutes “guessing” with clear, reasonable benchmarks for all.
What is "Duplicate Work Rate" and why does it matter?
This is the number of times the task must be repeated because it was not completed correctly the first time around. This is the quickest method of speeding up revenue cycle.
How do you measure productivity without interrupting the staff?
