New Leaf Technologies, with office locations in Johannesburg and Stellenbosch, employs a distributed remote workforce, including employees based in South African cities and overseas. Approximately half of their workforce operates remotely, with a strong focus on their customer services department, comprising 20 to 30 employees. New Leaf primarily specialises in eLearning content development and faced challenges in tracking time accurately and reporting to meet performance targets.
The Problem
New Leaf Technologies provides a diverse range of learning and development services, with a specific focus on eLearning content development. The company faced a critical need to guarantee the precision of time tracking in relation to their performance objectives. Many of their service tasks, particularly eLearning content development, involve detailed time tracking, and the absence of accurate reports on task durations was a significant issue. Additionally, New Leaf aimed to transform productivity into a measurable performance metric and gain visibility into the efficiency and productivity of their remote workforce.

New Leaf Technologies turned to WorkStatz, an employee efficiency monitoring software, to address these challenges.
