Not every role fits into a neat box. A developer’s productive time might be spent in an IDE, while a marketer’s might involve hours on social media tools. So how do you fairly measure employee productivity across diverse teams? The answer lies in REMOTLY’s Custom Productivity Classifications—a flexible feature designed to align with your unique workflows.
What Are Custom Productivity Classifications?
REMOTLY empowers admins and team leaders to manually tag apps, websites, and tools as productive, unproductive, or neutral—tailored to specific roles and responsibilities.
- Slack might be tagged as productive for customer support
- Figma could be productive for design teams
- YouTube may be productive for learning and development—or a distraction elsewhere
This customizable feature ensures your productivity metrics and work performance evaluations are based on role-specific behaviors, not generic benchmarks.
Why This Matters for Workplace Efficiency
Most productivity measurement tools use a one-size-fits-all approach, which can misrepresent actual team productivity. REMOTLY lets you define what workplace productivity looks like—for each department, team, or role.
With REMOTLY, you get:
- Accurate productivity data that truly reflects your team’s efforts
- Fair, role-specific performance improvement insights
- A sense of workplace motivation rather than micromanagement
Key Benefits of REMOTLY’s Custom Classifications
1. More Accurate Productivity Scores
Say goodbye to misleading productivity reports. With custom classifications, REMOTLY ensures your productivity strategies are backed by data that’s relevant and realistic.
2. Role-Based Fairness
Each department is evaluated based on the tools they genuinely use, which supports fairer employee productivity assessments and encourages trust within teams.
3. Flexible Categorization
Easily tag tools as:
- Productive (directly contributes to work)
- Unproductive (distractions)
- Neutral (has no major impact)
This level of detail allows better decision-making and more strategic workplace efficiency improvements.
4. Continuous Optimization
As your workflows evolve, so can your classifications. Update them anytime to keep your productivity measurement aligned with reality.
Use Case: Sales vs. HR
Let’s say:
- Your sales team relies on LinkedIn and Salesforce
- Your HR team uses Excel, internal HR portals, and Zoom
With REMOTLY:
- LinkedIn and Salesforce can be marked productive for Sales
- Zoom and HRMS tools can be tagged productive for HR
- TikTok or shopping sites can be flagged unproductive for all
No more guesswork—just role-specific, actionable insights that truly boost productivity.
