Get workforce answers without building a report

What would you like to know?
Workforce data isn't the problem. Getting to it is. WorkMonitor now lets anyone on your team ask a question in plain language and get an answer back: no filter menus, no column mapping, no reconciling what came out.

Every operations team has the same bottleneck. The data exists. Getting to it takes a request, a wait, and usually a spreadsheet anyway.

Your COO wants tracked hours across three regions compared to last quarter. A team lead wants idle time before a workload conversation. A finance partner wants the billable-vs-internal split before a board meeting. Each request is reasonable. Each one currently means opening a report builder, setting filters, picking the right columns, hoping the logic holds, and often ending up in a spreadsheet regardless.

What sets WorkMonitor Analytics apart

Ask in plain language ("How did focus time trend for the design team last month?") and WorkMonitor answers from your live activity data, not a stale export. Every answer is grounded in the same tracked hours, apps, and productivity scores your dashboards already use, so the numbers match wherever you look.

  • Answers pull from live tracked data, so they always match your dashboards.
  • No report builder, filters, or column mapping, just a question.
  • Every result links back to the underlying activity for a quick sanity check.

Who gets access, and what they can see

Analytics follows the same role-based access as the rest of WorkMonitor. Managers see their own teams, regional leads see their regions, and admins see the whole organization. Consent settings and redaction rules apply automatically, so a question can never surface data someone isn't cleared to view.

That means you can open access widely without widening risk. A team lead asking about their own group gets an instant answer; the same question about another department simply returns what their role allows.

WorkMonitor Analytics in action

Say a director asks, "Which teams lost the most focus time to context-switching this week?" WorkMonitor returns a ranked answer with a short explanation and a chart you can drop straight into a deck, in seconds, not after a half-day of report building.

The result is fewer data requests in your queue, faster decisions for the people asking, and one consistent source everyone trusts.
