“Burnout score” sounds like it should be squishy — some vague sentiment pulled from a survey nobody filled out honestly. TrackDots’ version is the opposite: a rolling calculation built entirely from real, observable activity over the last 14 days.
The Six Inputs
- Long hours — days that consistently run past a configured threshold
- Missed breaks — no meaningful pause across the day
- Weekend work — activity on days that should be off
- Late nights — work outside a configured normal-hours window
- Declining productivity — a real drop against that employee’s own baseline
- Weekly hours over limit — sustained overload, not a single busy week
Each signal is evaluated independently and shown that way — an employee’s flag might say “long hours, 6 days” and “late nights, 1 day” rather than a single blended number nobody can unpack.
Four Tiers, Recalculated Daily
Every employee lands in High, Medium, Watch, or All Clear, based on how many of the six signals are currently triggered. Because the window rolls forward every day, a single rough week doesn’t linger as a permanent red flag — the score reflects the last two weeks, not an entire quarter.
A rolling window means the score describes right now — not a bad sprint from six weeks ago that everyone’s already recovered from.
Every High or Medium flag comes with a plain-language recommendation, not just a number. See Burnout Detection →
Configurable, on Purpose
What counts as a “long day” or a “late night” varies by team, season, and culture. Every threshold behind this score is configurable per organization — and changes only ever apply going forward, never rewriting how past weeks were scored.
