Prodoscore’s Pledge
We believe in the power of AI to deliver positive transformation. We are passionate about productivity data and convinced that, used in the right way, it can keep engagement and performance high, identify employees that need assistance, and present new opportunities for success.
We also know that data can be acted upon in ways that are not healthy for organizations. Here, we publish our commitment to guide our customers with expertise to leverage data insights in a way that’s moral, meaningful, and responsible.
Don’t forget to be human.
At the end of the day, productivity data is simply a complementary measurement. The future of work holds tremendous opportunity for interdependency of technology and humans. But, the human element of our work lives can’t be ignored.
Honor privacy.
Our system was built to encourage employee development, healthy peer to peer competition, and balanced management. Employee data should never be used to pit people against one another. Empathy is a critically important soft skill necessary when reviewing productivity data.
Look for trends.
The value of productivity data lies in understanding daily/weekly/monthly trends. The focus is not on one moment in time, it’s not singular. Managers can be empowered and employee growth enabled with comparative measurements of key indicators over time that provide insight. Most importantly, objectivity and equitable interpretation of data is encouraged.
