How do you use your time? Are you wasting valuable time sitting on idle? Are you spending too much time on break, in the bathroom, or out to lunch? Are your sales lagging? These are all pieces of the utilization puzzle. Utilization is a tool used to determine if you are efficiently utilizing your time.
Utilization is commonly used by a workforce manager to explain to a company how their employees are using their time on the payroll. This can give a company insight to who the producers are, as well as, the folks that are wasting the company’s time.
