Quick Reference: Employee Productivity

On the Employee Productivity screen, you can view productivity goals and report the actual units serviced each day by employees in jobs that track employee-level productivity. You can also override productivity goals for employees on specific days. This information is used to calculate labor productivity at the employee level on the Employee Productivity Report.

Example use:

The Employee Productivity screen is used by housekeeping managers in hospitality operations. Housekeeping managers enter and track the number of either rooms that were cleaned or stay-overs and departures that were cleaned by each room attendant who worked a shift.

This quick reference guide provides an overview of the general steps involved in using the Employee Productivity screen.
