Contribution

Contribution tracks how much time each person dedicates to their roles. It gives you a clear picture of staffing levels across your organization, so you can spot imbalances before they become problems. Explore the Contribution app to learn more about what it can do for your team.

The Contribution overview showing role cards with progress bars indicating staffing levels against targets.

How it works

Each role has a target, the expected total contribution from all holders combined. Each holder then records what percentage of their time goes to that role. Peerdom compares actual contributions against targets and shows the result as visual progress bars.

Contribution values are set per person per role. If a role has multiple holders, Peerdom sums their individual contributions and compares the total against the role’s target.

Display units

You can view contribution data in the unit that makes the most sense for your organization:

  • Percentage: share of a person’s total capacity
  • FTE: full-time equivalent (1.0 = 100%)
  • Hours per week, month, or year: absolute time commitment

Switch units from the Contribution app settings. The underlying data stays the same regardless of which unit you display.

Color indicators

Progress bars use color to communicate staffing status at a glance:

  • Green (Proper): contribution matches the target
  • Orange (Underworking): total contribution is below the target
  • Red (Overworking): total contribution exceeds the target

These indicators appear on roles in the Inspector panel and in the Contribution app overview.

Color indicators give you a quick visual summary, but always check the actual numbers for context. A role slightly under target may not need immediate action.
