Bosses track hours.
Leaders track tasks.

[Aggielife]

As a boss myself. We track projects and completion dates. As long as everyone is assigned work and it’s getting done in the agreed spin time, that’s all I care about! Only a control freak would use this!

[adequatequality]

As an ex-manager just having left my previous job, I never had the ability nor did I ever want to micro-track the employees under me. If they're getting their work done as per the deadlines and meeting performance goals, I had no concerns whatsoever.

[buyjutruth]

As a manager I care about timelines as long as goals met, it doesn’t matter he work 1 hour or 8 hours. Some are working fast and some slow. You can’t punish high efficient workers by giving more task to then if they finish work fast.

[bodyshotjake]

It is interesting that the application tracks meetings and phone calls and considers them a level of productivity. When every working human knows that meetings and phone calls are the least productive tasks in any career.

[felipefn]

If you company / boss needs to track you like this you either need to find a better company or another boss...

[samwebb]

Where I work as a Software Architect for a full-time remote company, we focus on objectives. Tracking time doesn't work, and it demotivates employees. It's nice to be trusted to deliver in my own time, but conversely not having set working hours can make it harder to switch off from work - a different sort of problem!

[carlwummel]

Thank you Leila, I always love to understand what the other side looks like - in this case the admins tec view. It helps understanding what's possible and what not, how to name things and get clues on why IT is doing this or that (not). I appreciate seeing more of these perspectives!

[jet]

As someone in charge of people, as long as the work is getting done on time and in good quality, I don’t care what people do. This seems very toxic.

[eurocalypse]

A manager should care about the output of a person, not manage how they spend their time. Any manager that is busy with such details is not a manager, but a control freak that distrusts the team and abuses his role.

[oculosprudentium]

Since this video is over 2 years old, you can be that Microsoft Team has definitely put in more 'FEATURES', so that your boss can be watching and tracking YOU!!

[MaverickJunior]

Thank you.. You took YouTube to a higher level this way by dedicating your channel to important issues in our daily MS OFFICE work

[kelsyec]

if a manager has that much time to track me on team who then is the dead weight ??? 😅

[kategould]

Ffs, now I know why all the useless people in the office love meetings. It makes them seem to be productive instead of the dead weight they truly are.

[kennethdrayton]

If you are boss and you have to track your team at this level then YOU got an engagement issue, not your team, YOU! On the other hand, a LEADER puts their people first, they build them, the leader seldom seeks praise. Leadership is a LIFETIME quest. If you think taking a few classes makes you leader or 10 years having a team qualifies you then YOU ARE A BOSS!

[romz]

Yes, reaching 100% completion of a task is important, however relying on that will not show for example, 80% was done by 1 person, and 20% was done by another, where the 20% person could have been doing something else in addition. Productivity analysis can also show that a team may be too busy through factual data, which is usefull for planning resource for furture projects. For example a low 'emails sent' number can be used to say the user is to busy to reply to emails or more emails can be recieved. Its not just about 'spying or 'micromangemnet', many large organisations have self built productivity analysis already in place to ensure work can be done but also ensure an employee is not overloaded with work.

[medusaskull]

The more monitoring, the less effect the employee become. Now they can no longer be themselves without having a feeling of who is watching you. Human work more effectively when they are giving the freedom of flexibility.

[thomasspotzl]

"Being in a meeting/call" is not equal to being productive.

[vlnzt]

Just assume that you are always being tracked by something. Do your job well, and if they don't like the way you do it, go somewhere else. If you have skills and are truly productive, you will always be valuable somewhere that values real results.

I’m a carpenter….My boss can see what I built..
