Insights: Productivity

Time can only be spent once, so it’s important to maintain the productivity of the organization.

Written by Simplicate Support

The Productivity report shows productive hours per employee. Use the filters to slice the data in different ways — by team, by manager, or by period. Productive hours are direct hours: hours logged on client projects where the project setting Invoice project is set to Yes.


Report structure

At the top is the filter bar; below it a totals block (Total), the Productivity percentage trend chart, the Productive hours per employee chart, and the Detail view (the table).


Productivity percentage trend

Tracks the productivity percentage over time, compared against the target from the schedule. This lets you see whether productivity is consistently rising or falling.


Productive hours per employee

Plots productive hours per employee against the target, so you can see who is above or below it.


Detail view

The table shows productive hours, the target, and the productivity percentage per employee. Use Columns to choose which columns are visible, and Export to download the data.

How productivity is calculated

Productivity is calculated as follows:

Direct hours / (Scheduled hours − leave hours) × 100%

Unlike in the billability reports, corrections are not included here: it reflects the 'clean' allocation.
