What's Inefficient Time Management Costing Your Business?

steff.green@xero.com (Steff Green) — Wed, 21 Mar 2018 23:10:00 GMT

As a business owner, it's important to understand where you’re spending your time. But l et's face it, tracking time isn’t the most fun thing in the world. And doing it retrospectively can be a pain. There are several reasons you might have avoided it in your business until now – the most common being:

Lack of time: Ironic as it sounds, setting up a system and training business staff to use it is time-intensive. This is time that can be better-spent completing current projects and doing core business work.
Cost: Time-tracking software can be viewed as expensive, if the benefit isn’t seen. Often (mistakenly) spreadsheets are thought to be a better, cheaper and faster option.
Staff buy-in. If you don’t have all your staff and contractors over the line, they won't be consistent in their time-tracking methods, and this will lead to erroneous data.

These concerns are legitimate, especially within a growing company where time and cashflow are already stretched. It's understandable that a business might believe they can't afford to invest in time tracking strategies. But I want to turn this assumption on its head, and ask, "Can you afford NOT to track your time?"
