No monitoring? Think twice! 10% performance drop reversed in days with WorkTime

This financial services company successfully used WorkTime for over a year to monitor and engage employees. With a focus on remote productivity in a hybrid work environment, the team set clear performance goals: 80% active time, 90% attendance, and 70% productivity. Employees consistently met these targets. However, after a year, top management decided to discontinue the use of WorkTime.

Issue/challenge

The IT management strongly advocated for keeping WorkTime, clearly stating that employee performance would decline without monitoring. Top management agreed to continue using WorkTime in the background to evaluate the impact. The result: employee performance dropped by 10% within approximately 2.5 months - equivalent to 10 out of 100 employees effectively stopping work.

The result of discontinuing employee monitoring: employee performance dropped by 10% within approximately 2.5 months!

Solution

WorkTime Cloud Enterprise was reintroduced to the IT department.

Usage

This company adopted a transparent approach to employee monitoring from day one - each employee had access to their own reports, allowing them to track their performance and identify areas for improvement. During the impact evaluation period, employee access to WorkTime was temporarily disabled. Once WorkTime was reintroduced, access was fully restored.

Result

Since implementing WorkTime, management has observed a monthly increase in productivity, improved employee self-management, and greater responsibility.
