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%
