Introduction

In today’s digitally connected workspaces, especially with the rise of remote and hybrid work models, monitoring employee productivity has become more crucial than ever. Trackpilots offers an intuitive and insightful feature called the Work Activity Log, which allows managers and team leads to track and analyze daily working hours of each employee. This feature ensures transparency, accountability, and helps in optimizing team performance. This article explores how the Work Activity Log works using an example entry and why it is essential for efficient workforce management.

What is the Work Activity Log?

It’s a tool that records key details about an employee’s work session:

  • Employee Name & Email

  • Date of Work

  • Start Time

  • End Time

  • Total Activity Duration

This log updates in real-time, giving managers a clear picture of who is working and for how long.

Example:

While extra hours can indicate dedication, they can also signal underlying problems. Here’s why monitoring this metric is important:

  • Employee: Swetha Senthil

  • Email: senthilsundari2802@gmail.com

  • Date: April 16, 2025

  • Start Time: 2:18 AM

  • End Time: 2:58 AM

  • Duration: 1 hour, 45 minutes, and 51 seconds

This data shows when she began and ended her work, and how long she was actively engaged.

Why It’s Useful:

To make the most of the Extra Hours Summary, managers can:

  • Transparency: Everyone’s work hours are clearly recorded.

  • Productivity Tracking: Helps managers understand work patterns and improve efficiency.

  • Remote Monitoring: Keeps remote teams accountable.

  • Reporting: Easy to export logs for performance reviews or payroll.

Conclusion

The Work Activity Log is a simple but powerful feature in Trackpilots. It keeps work sessions transparent, helps teams stay productive, and supports better management—especially for remote setups.
