Company Loses €3.6M Annually Due to Technical Disruptions
A company with 2,000 employees is losing nearly 4 million euros annually due to technical disruptions, with each employee facing 3.6 interruptions per month. To tackle this, experts suggest clear task categorisation, real-time logging, and automation for accurate billing and profit maximisation.
Technical issues are causing significant productivity loss in a company with 2,000 employees. On average, each employee is interrupted 3.6 times a month, leading to an annual loss of nearly 4 million euros. To address this, the company should clearly define billable tasks, such as design concepts and site visits, and non-billable tasks like internal meetings.
Cloud-based tools like Harvest, Toggl, and Clockify are popular for their simplicity and browser-based accessibility. Encouraging real-time hour logging ensures accurate records. Regular reviews help identify scope creep and reveal profitable tasks. Small design firms often overlook appropriate billing, leading to profit loss. Time and money are interchangeable in design, yet many firms treat time tracking as a chore.
To minimise productivity loss and maximise profits, companies should clearly define billable and non-billable tasks, use lightweight cloud-based tools for real-time hour logging, and automate reports for weekly reviews. This approach helps catch scope creep, reveals profitable tasks, and ensures accurate billing, preventing small design firms from overlooking appropriate billing.
