Issue/challenge
Hiring a good team is not an easy task. Maintaining a positive work environment, delivering projects on time, and keeping employees engaged and satisfied are equally challenging. Timothy, a manager at a US IT company, was responsible for his team's success. While he could observe in-office employees daily, remote employees were harder to observe. To stay more in tune with his remote employees, Timothy had been using WorkTime. One remote software developer, especially valued for his unique technical skills, appeared to be performing well. However, WorkTime reports indicated that this employee had started looking for a new job and was showing signs of burnout simultaneously.Solution
