I disagree. There is no timesheet, timeclock, camera or APP that cannot be fiddled by the slackers or incompetents, for they might be useless at everything else but at time-stealing, they are always aces! Nor will this type of management ever stop timesheets being little more than fiction from 50% of employees, because a pack of lies filled out at 4 o' clock on a Friday afternoon is useless for real costing purposes.
Reno has it. A company gets too big & loses control. A good team stays on top of the game with good leadership. Good Leaders do not sit in the office all day shuffling bits of paper. They walk the jobs, [MBWA], assess how the team is performing and manage the team's time
themselves. Or better, they work
in the team itself. One man job? Set the time allowed. Persistant over-runs? Time for a little chat! Electricians [or indeed any tradesman] should be bending wire or whatever, not biros, 'losing' an hour here and 15 minutes there. Been there, done it.
Here's a nigh-on-perfect team in action, led from the front by a softly-spoken man with a big stick [sound familiar?]
- and not a timesheet in sight! Enjoy!
