Let’s face it remote work isn't just about getting the job done; it's about getting the job done well, and with clarity. But how do you actually measure productivity without micromanaging? That’s where Remotly’s activity-based productivity scoring comes in.
Why Traditional Metrics Fall Short
Tracking remote productivity with just login times or idle minutes? That’s old school and it tells you very little about real output. Traditional metrics often fail to reflect the quality and impact of an employee’s work.
At Remotly, we took a different approach: what if we could measure productivity based on meaningful digital activity instead of outdated benchmarks?
What Is Activity Based Productivity Scoring?
Remotly’s system looks at what actually matters—how time is used, not just how long someone is online.
Our platform assigns productivity scores based on:
- App and website usage (categorized as productive or unproductive)
- Task-specific focus windows
- Break patterns and engagement rhythms
- Time spent on deep work vs. multitasking
The result? A smart, context-aware view of productivity that respects work styles and supports continuous improvement.
The Power of Transparency
One of the key goals of this system is transparency. Employees have access to their own dashboards so they can self-monitor, self-adjust, and take ownership of their work habits. No invasive monitoring—just clear, supportive feedback that encourages balance and focus.
For managers, this means smarter insights and less guesswork. Instead of chasing activity logs, you can now identify team bottlenecks, burnout signs, and workflow gaps with clarity.
Driving Better Work Habits
The beauty of activity-based scoring is that it’s not about punishment—it’s about awareness and alignment. When teams can visualize how their time is spent and what tools they're using most, it opens up conversations around:
- Prioritization
- Task batching
- Reducing distractions
- Time-blocking for deep work
With data-backed insights, individuals and teams can make small shifts that drive long-term productivity gains—all without compromising well-being.
Designed for Flexibility
Whether you're a solo freelancer, part of a startup, or managing a hybrid team across time zones, Remotly’s productivity scoring adapts to your needs. It’s fully customizable, allowing teams to define what productivity looks like in their unique context.
No two jobs are the same, and our platform reflects that reality.
