In an effort to increase productivity and hold employees accountable, corporations and business owners around the world have been monitoring employee performance through a number of techniques and strategies. One of the most basic forms of employee monitoring technology, the time clock, was invented by William Le Grand Bundy in 1888. The “Bundy Clock” was used to keep track of when workers began and finished working for the day.

Talented employees feel isolated and disengaged in their roles. Simple projects become complex because teams work in silos. What should take weeks extends into months due to poor internal communication and coordination. This highlights the importance of building a culture of teamwork and collaboration in your workplace.

Automate complex tasks in Slack with no-code, dynamic workflows that adapt to specific conditions.

If your team appears busy, are they truly productive or just giving the appearance of being so? That question deserves more attention. Many leaders still equate activity with impact, but that’s like measuring a workout by how much someone sweats instead of how much stronger they get. It looks impressive, yet tells you little about long-term progress. Say a team logs 42 hours this week. On paper, it sounds productive.
