How To Do Time Tracking In Your Outlook Calendar

Time Tracking Outlook

Having an employee track the time spent on different activities helps the organization understand how much time is being spent on each activity and whether the time is being spent efficiently. It also allows the employee to understand if they need to be doing things differently so that it takes them less time to finish a particular task – perhaps they might request additional help or additional training in that area. To carry out accurate time tracking, one does not need to purchase any fancy time tracking software or use specialized tools. Microsoft Outlook, one of the most popular tools used in business organizations today comes equipped with a set of very powerful time tracking tools that will help employees track how they spend their time and management to study if that time is being spent efficiently.

TimeSheet Reporter also makes time tracking easy for supervisors who have to keep track of which employees have not send in their timesheets. They can define the number of hours that have to be reported to them for each day of the week. They can then attach specific employees to each calendar and if timesheets have not been submitted according to the number of hours, notifications can be sent out.

Further, organizations do not have to spend time and effort in training employees to use new time tracking systems since they can use their Outlook calendar, which they are all familiar with, as their standard timesheet reporting tool.
