We are super excited to announce the release of our Calls integrations and related features.

This new set of features provides insights into the time you dedicate to calls, huddles, and virtual meetings across various collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Zoom.

This addition allows us to distinguish between your App Views (having an app in focus on your device) and Calls (participating in a virtual call), allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of your time allocation and tool engagement patterns.

The new Calls feature helps answer workplace questions like:

Are you joining too many unplanned or sudden calls?

What’s the best time to schedule team meetings?

When do you have the most calls during your day, and how does it compare to your team's schedule?

Are these calls using your time wisely, or are they making you work longer hours?

Are you fully focused during these calls, or are you multitasking with other apps?

You can now view real-time call statuses directly in your Produce8 activity stream while you're engaged in a call on platforms like Slack, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams (with more to be added soon). This is more helpful in shared workspaces.

On your Timeline, you'll notice two swim lanes: Views and Calls. When these lanes overlap, it indicates that you're engaging with other tools while on a call. Whether you're screen sharing, presenting, or simply multitasking with other work tools during a meeting, you'll now have visibility into your activities.

If you use multiple tools for your Calls such as using Zoom meetings and Slack huddles, then you’d want aggregated call data so that you know how much time you’ve spent in Calls altogether.

This feature enables you to track the total time spent on Calls for each day, week, and month. Simply click "Time in Calls" in Your Daily Insights to delve into your trends further.

We've added calls to the App Metrics tab, offering individual data for each of your apps, such as Time in Calls, Call Interactions, and Avg Call Durations. This enables you to compare your call time across different apps.

How much time are you spending in Zoom compared to Slack huddles? Now you know!

Last but not least, when you select a virtual meeting app, you will find App Metrics. Here you find a breakdown of Time in Apps and Calls for Zoom, Slack, and Microsoft Teams independently.

Create a Better Meeting Culture for Your Organization

Calls consume a significant amount of time during the workday. By gaining insights into the virtual meeting habits of yourself and your team, you can take steps to regain control of your schedule. Don't let meetings, calls, and huddles consume your time and energy anymore — see what’s working and what isn’t with Produce8’s Call!

Produce8 Welcomes Tech Industry Veterans Sharleen Oborowsky and Joe Panettieri to Board of Directors

Remote work and the gig economy have experienced consistent growth over the past several decades. And three years ago, the shift towards distributed work accelerated, ultimately becoming the "new normal" for many professionals. Yet, this new reality was far from ordinary. Knowledge workers were sent home, left to navigate the challenges of maintaining productivity and collaboration on their own.

During this transitional phase, organizations lacked the necessary guidelines and support to effectively assist their employees. Consequently, distractions arising from messaging apps and unscheduled Zoom meetings began to erode the workday. And when workers missed deadlines, the blame unjustly fell on them. But in reality, remote workers were found to be 

, averaging an additional four hours per week compared to their office counterparts.

This ad hoc work model blurred the boundaries between professional and personal life, leading to heightened stress, burnout, and a subsequent decline in productivity—a burden primarily borne by high-performing workers.
What we have come to understand is that the persistent challenges of digital work inherently stem from team-based problems. To effectively address these problems, it is imperative to provide the whole team—not just leaders or HR—with access to pertinent data and involve them in the problem-solving process.

Three years ago, there was no tool available to support such an approach. 

The employee experience is everything. We spend our workday using an average of 20 different applications, but we never consider how those interactions impact work output. With an extreme amount of context switching within these tools, the big question we all should be asking is: Where in the day do we find time to focus?

Produce8 is a digital work analytics platform, designed for the whole team, that aims to answer that question. By providing visualizations and metrics, our platform help teams establish a shared understanding of what work looks like, identify areas worth fixing, and take measurable action to change them.

Today, as we reach another crossroad with digital work, I am happy to announce the 

 Paid plan. With it, we can navigate the nuances of work together:

Is our Slack or Teams usage effective with notifications off?

The future of work will come in many forms, and we must not let our fear of experimentation or innovation limit us to outdated models. To move forward confidently, we require data to substantiate and validate the changes we make. That is precisely why Produce8 remains committed to supporting initiatives such as 

Much has changed in the way we work over the past few years, and many of these developments are undoubtedly positive. Certain changes, though, have led to increased working hours in meetings and messaging apps, forcing us to squeeze time out of our personal lives for professional endeavors. We must learn to embrace change while also cutting out its occasional negative aspects. And with Produce8, we aim to do just that. We’ll help you regain lost hours and create space for meaningful work, all without compromising happiness and well-being.

Knowledge workers were sent home, left to navigate the challenges of maintaining productivity and collaboration on their own.

During this transitional phase, organizations lacked the necessary guidelines and support to effectively assist their employees. Consequently, distractions arising from messaging apps and unscheduled Zoom meetings began to erode the workday. And when workers missed deadlines, the blame unjustly fell on them. But in reality, remote workers were found to be working longer hours, averaging an additional four hours per week compared to their office counterparts.

This ad hoc work model blurred the boundaries between professional and personal life, leading to heightened stress, burnout, and a subsequent decline in productivity—a burden primarily borne by high-performing workers.
What we have come to understand is that the persistent challenges of digital work inherently stem from team-based problems. To effectively address these problems, it is imperative to provide the whole team—not just leaders or HR—with access to pertinent data and involve them in the problem-solving process.

Three years ago, there was no tool available to support such an approach. And that’s why we built Produce8.

The employee experience is everything. We spend our workday using an average of 20 different applications, but we never consider how those interactions impact work output. With an extreme amount of context switching within these tools, the big question we all should be asking is: Where in the day do we find time to focus?

Produce8 is a digital work analytics platform, designed for the whole team, that aims to answer that question. By providing visualizations and metrics, our platform help teams establish a shared understanding of what work looks like, identify areas worth fixing, and take measurable action to change them.

Today, as we reach another crossroad with digital work, I am happy to announce the Produce8 Paid plan. With it, we can navigate the nuances of work together:

Is our Slack or Teams usage effective with notifications off?

Are there too many meetings?

Are we working in the apps we want?

Is the team more productive when working asynchronously?

The future of work will come in many forms, and we must not let our fear of experimentation or innovation limit us to outdated models. To move forward confidently, we require data to substantiate and validate the changes we make. That is precisely why Produce8 remains committed to supporting initiatives such as 4 Day Week Global and the Digital Wellness Institute.

Much has changed in the way we work over the past few years, and many of these developments are undoubtedly positive. Certain changes, though, have led to increased working hours in meetings and messaging apps, forcing us to squeeze time out of our personal lives for professional endeavors. We must learn to embrace change while also cutting out its occasional negative aspects. And with Produce8, we aim to do just that. We’ll help you regain lost hours and create space for meaningful work, all without compromising happiness and well-being.
