Article: Set goals for how quickly employees should be able to complete their tasks, and offer incentives for meeting or exceeding those goals. This will help your employees understand what is expected of them, and it should encourage them to stay on task. Install software that will keep track of how much time your employees spend using apps and websites that aren't related to work. Monitor this usage to see if there are any areas where efficiency can be improved. Be transparent about the fact that you’re keeping track of what your employees do on their computers. This will likely boost their productivity and will promote an atmosphere of honesty in your workplace. Save money by automating whatever you can. For instance, if you’re still processing credit card payments by hand, you can save payroll hours by switching to a software like Quickbooks that will do it for you. You can save employees’ time and office space by automating onboarding paperwork. Have new clients fill out paperwork online instead of in the office.

What is a summary?
Set expectations for when tasks should be completed. Measure your employee’s activity and productivity. Look for processes you can automate.
