Desklog offers three different methods to calculate employee efficiency:

  • Task Spent
  • Task Assigned
  • Productive Time

Method 1: Task Spent

What it checks:
How much time the employee actually spent working on tasks compared to their total working hours.

Formula:
(Time Spent on Tasks ÷ Total Work Time) × 100

Example:

  • You worked 8 hours today.
  • You spent 6 hours actively doing tasks.
  • Your efficiency = (6 ÷ 8) × 100 = 75%

Method 2: Task Assigned

What it checks:
How much time was assigned for tasks, compared to your total working time.

Formula:
(Time Assigned for Tasks ÷ Total Work Time) × 100

Example:

  • You worked 8 hours.
  • Your manager gave you 8 hours’ worth of tasks.
  • Your efficiency = (8 ÷ 8) × 100 = 100%

Method 3: Productive Time

What it checks:
How much of your workday was spent doing productive activities, not including breaks, idle time, or distractions.

Formula:
(Productive Time ÷ Total Work Time) × 100

Example:

  • You worked 8 hours.
  • You were productive (focused work) for 7 hours.
  • Your efficiency = (7 ÷ 8) × 100 = 87.5%

Step 4: Choose your preferred efficiency calculation method.

Step 5: Tick the checkbox to apply the selected method to all users.
