XPM - Reworking visuals on Timesheets and Productivity Dashboards
Make the timesheets and productivity metrics more attractive to incentivise employees to try and increase productivity or hours worked during the day.
Currently there is no visual appeal to having a 'better timesheet', either through more hours or a higher productivity (there isn't even any green that would signify a positive).
I suggest:
Having a widget (even just a simple line graph) that changes colour based on the productivity (i.e. a higher productivity would have a brighter green, good productivity green, low productivity red etc) - With this incorporating capacity reducing time to not skew this data
Introduce a metric or widget that shows 'timeliness of timesheets' to show how many days after the date the time was entered - this incentivises employees to be proactive with their timesheets, and also helps identity times when timesheets are entered a week after (and hence wouldn't be as accurate)
A widget or another easy way to see your productivity and hours worked across a 4 week period (as opposed to needing to manually calculate this in excel) - this will make it easier to illustrate hours worked on a rolling basis as opposed to just week by week
Thanks!
Looking forward to hopefully something coming from this
