DeskTime is an automatic time-tracking software that analyzes employee productivity.[1] First released in 2011 by the Latvian tech company Draugiem Group, the software was initially developed for internal use within the group before becoming a standalone product.[2]
The software allows users to categorize the applications and websites used during working hours as productive, unproductive, or neutral, providing insight into how time is spent throughout the day. The collected data is available to both employees and managers.[2][3] The software is mostly used in the private sector, however some pilot projects in the public sector have also been set up.[2]
DeskTime's user base exceeds over 100,000 employees worldwide, with the United States and India as the biggest markets.[4][5]
Productivity research
[edit]The company that develops DeskTime has published several studies on workplace productivity based on aggregated user data. A 2014 analysis of its most productive users found that they typically worked in 52-minute intervals followed by 17-minute breaks - a pattern that became known as the 52/17 rule, a time-management method comparable to the Pomodoro Technique.[6][7][8]
In 2017, a study drawing on data from 65,000 employees in the United States found that productivity declines after extended working hours: output dropped by 11% immediately after eight hours of work, with an additional 19% decrease for each subsequent hour.[9]
