Employee Performance Management

For managers, empowering employees to do great work while managing performance to ensure that the appropriate amount of guidance and structure is in place can be a difficult balance. At FunctionFox, we believe that employee performance management is all about empowerment, personal accountability and transparency.

Our system TimeFox has been designed from the start to make it easy for staff to know what's required of them, how much time is available for each task, and what's high priority / coming due. This empowered approach to project management provides a welcome approach compared with typical employee time tracking software. TimeFox gives managers and employees alike the information they need to do their job while avoiding the need for management to "micro-manage" or spend time re-communicating project details which are easily transparent and meant to be shared through our time and project tracking system.

TimeFox Is Not Your Typical Employee Time Tracking Software

If empowerment is the key to employee performance management, how does TimeFox Time and Project Management help make it happen?

It's all about using permissions (access levels) in TimeFox to properly manage project information.

For Managers:

While managers are certainly not exempt from using the staff time tracking system, that's just one part of the manager's role in TimeFox. While TimeFox can be customized however you like, typically a project manager will:

Create a new project in TimeFox
Assign estimated hours through TimeFox's built-in estimating software
Update project statuses throughout a project to ensure that clients, project staff and other management are informed of project progress
Monitor estimated versus actual hours and project deadlines to ensure that the project is delivered successfully
Run client, project and personnel reports to communicate project details between the client, staff and business owner or executive.

For Staff:

While customizable, employees can have a similar view into project details as the project manager, with some helpful limitations. Typically, employees will:

Be assigned to a project by the project manager
View estimated time per task, and deadlines to properly prioritize workloads
Log time on a project using the TimeFox timehsheet
Monitor estimated versus actual time on a project to ensure that tasks are completed within the budget allocated
Update project status as their role in the project is completed

By keeping the above information transparent in TimeFox, project managers can easily communicate project information to staff. Managers love it, as they are able to avoid redundant tasks and continual questioning of creative teams on the status of projects. By having all of the information needed to complete a project within the guidelines and parameters set out by the project manager, employees also avoid unnecessary communication and admin, and are able to focus on getting things done.

With TimeFox reporting to point out any trouble spots along the way, employee performance management has never been easier thanks to our employee time tracking software designed for the empowered creative professional.

"Our PR and Design Agency looked diligently for a time and project tracking software application, only to find it right here in our own backyard. TimeFox paid for itself within weeks. Now we are accountable to our valued clients, we know how long we've worked on projects, and invoicing is a snap! I thank that little Fox every morning when he greets me upon log-in."

"TimeFox allows us to track our time more accurately by removing any/all objections my employees had to entering their time. More accurate time entries leads to better data for future project estimates because we have more accurate historical data. Better estimating leads to higher profitability and happier clients. All this leads to better profits and a happier CEO — me."

"I needed a better time tracking system than the manual way we were doing things. I knew we weren't charging for all the "little" things and "quick" tasks like emails etc. We absolutely love your product. Learning to use it was so easy and it makes billing a snap. Thank you for developing such a functional tool. It's definitely making us more money."
