Circuit Break
Why even bother tracking time?
It can be difficult to “Sell” your team on the benefits of Time Tracking.
Here are some examples of why it matters.
Smart Hiring: Time tracking shows exactly where your hours go, helping decide when you need more hands on deck. If a team leader says they’re swamped, time data proves it and justifies new hires.
Better Quotes: See where sales might have underquoted a project. Accurate time logs mean better future estimates and happier clients.
Boost Motivation: When everyone sees the big picture, they’re more motivated to track time. It’s clear how their input leads to better planning and team growth.
In short, tracking time makes hiring decisions easier, ensures accurate project quotes, and keeps your team motivated and balanced.
