Let’s look at two fictional sales employees – John and Susan. John is always at his desk and works long hours as shown on the company’s employee activity computer tracking system Management’s perception is that he is a hard worker. Susan is often out. She is meeting prospects, business networking, and picks up her kids from school. Management’s perception is that she isn’t at her desk much and isn’t working as hard as John and the computer tracking seems to support this. But if you measured success by sales generated, you would find Susan’s sales are double that of John’s because of her networking efforts and her willingness to go out and meet clients. This is the pitfall of measuring activity instead of results.

Instead of relying on invasive tracking tools, let’s shift our focus to what really matters: outcomes and trust. Here’s how to measure employee productivity effectively:
By ditching the computer tracker and embracing a trust-based approach, you’ll reap numerous benefits:
Transitioning to a trust-based productivity model requires a shift in mindset and some practical steps:
As we’ve seen, measuring employee productivity through trust and outcomes is not only more effective but also creates a more positive and productive work environment. By focusing on results rather than surveillance, you’ll unlock your team’s full potential and drive your business forward.
Remember, true productivity isn’t about how many hours someone spends at their desk or how many keystrokes they log. It’s about the value they bring to your organization and the impact of their work. By trusting your employees and giving them the freedom to excel, you’ll create a workforce that’s not just productive, but also innovative, engaged, and loyal.
