“The data we’ve uncovered sheds light on the way we work today, how that’s changed over time, and what it will look like in the future. “ ”
Looking at data from May to August, Prodoscore assessed over 105 million data points collected from 30,000 U.S.-based Prodoscore users, the same sample size as a report released earlier this year evaluating the March and April timeframe.
While productivity levels decreased slightly (3%) in May – August compared to early in the pandemic, when measured against pre-pandemic levels they remained strong.
The data revealed a 5% increase in productivity comparing May – August 2019 to May – August 2020, challenging the assumption by business leaders that employees working from home are less productive than when working on-site in an office.

Prodoscore’s extensive user base gives the company access to an array of data surrounding productivity that can help businesses better understand daily activity and make better informed, data-driven decisions. Performance data has traditionally only been available in disparate systems and via multiple reports; Prodoscore ties all of that data together and displays it via a simple dashboard. The data is digestible in seconds.
“The Prodoscore research gives proof-positive data that is consistent with the larger body of psychological research showing the benefits of measuring productivity to support remote and on-site workers’ needs,” said Eric Frazer, Psy.D., a member of the Prodoscore Research Council and Consulting Psychologist, Assistant Clinical Professor-Yale University School of Medicine. “These deep insights, such as ‘the productivity window’ give organizations the necessary information to implement enterprise strategies for building resilience and social support and prevent burnout and fatigue among their workers.”
