Teams365 #2759 - Productivity Tip for Hybrid Work – Metrics That Matter

An earlier precursor for Reconnecting Workspaces was PlanDoTrack, a workbook planner for remote and virtual professionals. As part of that book, I blogged for more than a year on Remote Productivity tips. I thought it would be useful to update these for the hybrid space, given that in hybrid work, most things are more complex.

One area that’s important regardless of what context we are working in is tracking metrics. Here’s what I wrote in PlanDoTrack Weekly Planning Tip 71 – Metrics that Matter

“Metrics that Matter” gets us thinking about the things you want to track. What’s important to you? What’s important to your work or business? How often are you pausing to see where things are at? What are the metrics that matter?

As I shared in an earlier community call metrics matter for several reasons including – they help to:

• Anchor

While we may be a Jack or Jill of all trades, it can be important to bring “Experts” on board as well. Metrics are important in the hybrid world as they are something we can all do and share, whether we see each other or not.

• Provide Data

Metrics provide data, offering a variety of engagement types – products and services, which can allow you to expand your reach and geographic impact. Data is critical for hybrid workspaces so everyone can measure where they are at.

• Scaling

Metrics help with measurement and scaling. They indicate where you are and how far you have gotten.

• Know Where We are Going

Metrics provide a marker, and help us know where we are on the pathway of the journey towards our goals.

• Resource Allocation

Metrics also provide a way to allocate resources to what is needed.
 
What’s important to note about metrics in your work and world right now?

What are you doing to track your numbers? Is everyone tracking the same thing, in the same way?

How are you revisiting them - This week? This month? This quarter?

If you haven’t taken a look at your metrics from the last quarter, take a look back at them now. What do you notice?

Enjoy the conversation,
Jennifer
