3 ways to support business transformation with MyAnalytics

There are more ways than ever to get work done. Email and instant messaging. Shared calendars and document collaboration. Even virtual meetings. Yet, there’s still not enough time in the day.

Meeting overloadIt may be that there are too many meetings. According to a study by Bain & Company, 15% of an organization’s time is spent in meetings—a figure that has increased every year since 2008.1

When employees get a handle on meetings and email they can be more efficient. Which means your company is better prepared for business transformation.

Take inefficiencies seriouslyWorkplace inefficiencies are more than just a nuisance. They’re a waste of valuable time that prevent companies from competing in a rapidly-changing market.

Which isn’t something to be taken lightly.

Seventy-five percent of the S&P 500 is predicted to turn over by 2027.1 It’s critical that companies stand ready to transform or risk extinction. Improving workplace efficiency is the best way to become more agile and poised for strategic growth.

Individual change, organizational impactAn organization’s productivity is defined by the thousands of decisions employees make each day. But without supporting data, it can be challenging for people to make smart decisions about where to spend their time.

MyAnalytics gives employees insight into two of the key factors in personal productivity—how they spend their time and who they spend it with.

Through a private dashboard, MyAnalytics delivers data on:

• Time spent in meetings, email, focus hours, and after hours

• Who they collaborate with and how often

• Weekly goals and progress over time

By helping employees understand their work habits, MyAnalytics lets companies address important drivers for business transformation.

1. Improve organizational efficiency

Becoming more efficient requires an understanding of baseline performance and the ability to track improvement. MyAnalytics gives employees insight into their daily activities along with benchmarks from peers. Employees can set productivity goals and monitor progress to identify opportunities to be efficient—and make a greater impact.

2. Engage employees

Employees who are trapped by overbooked calendars and too many emails are unable to spend time on work that matters. With a direct correlation between focus time and employee engagement it’s not surprising that only 30% of American workers and 13% of global workers are engaged in their jobs.1, 2

MyAnalytics provides insight to help employees reduce distractions and increase more fulfilling work time. Employees can also use the data to support conversations with their managers about refocusing work time and work life balance.

People who can focus on one task at a time are 50% more engaged than peers.3

3. Help teams make smarter decisionsWith 80% of workplace interactions taking place within departments it’s no wonder that communication can seem unproductive.1 These interactions are often about sharing information rather than brainstorming ideas to drive innovation.

The MyAnalytics dashboard shows employees who they interact with most frequently so they can work more closely with those that matter. Employees get data on the effectiveness of their email—how many people are reading their messages and how quickly—so they can tailor their communications to get more done.
