Enabling a Remote and Hybrid Legal Workforce
We learned about Prodoscore from searching online for a solution that could help us enable a hybrid and remote setup. Like so many other companies, we saw a pretty significant shift to hybrid or remote work in the last few years and it was really hard for managers to gauge how effective and efficient their teams were as a result.
Our development team had built out a few Tableau dashboards to help monitor production but the data was too limited and we struggled to collect Microsoft data accurately.
When we saw a demonstration of the Prodoscore solution we knew conceptually it was what we needed to get a grasp on staff contributions and visualize how our distributed teams were working. Once we were ready to go we started with a subset of employees and then continued to expand throughout the organization.
The Rollout
The onboarding process was both easy and complex for us. While we were up and running quickly, it did take us some time to get all of our data flowing the way we wanted. But the team was great to work with and we’re really happy with what we’re seeing today. They’re really amenable to feedback and worked with us on a couple of new features and enhancements that actually got rolled into the product.
For me, the greatest value of the tool is how simple it is to visualize the big picture, especially with a distributed workforce. We also really appreciate the insight into how many hours per day employees are “active” in our cloud tools.
I don’t have any hard numbers to share but our front line managers are learning to navigate the tool and benefiting from the visibility. Much of what we’re seeing has confirmed our overall assumptions about the team, which has been a substantial benefit so far.
While some team members appreciate the accountability, naturally some are less excited about it but I’m confident that they’ll quickly realize the benefits and transparency the tool provides.
Having Prodoscore has also encouraged some employees to work harder – many are eager to keep their scores up!
I’d encourage companies of all types to consider the Prodoscore solution. They really make it easy to compare productivity across employees, and store activity data in one simple dashboard.
