We've heard the complaints. That's a lot of paperwork and requires a time investment. Besides, it can be confusing. However, the National Council believes you should make an effort because the benefits of good statistics far outweigh the hassle of keeping records. What' you do is important, and it need not be overshadowed by 'how much' you do.
Quality is more important than quantity.
Therefore, you can and should use numbers to improve the quality of your work. Both large and small organizations benefit from keeping accurate statistics on every aspect of their work. Numbers tell people who you are and what you are up against. Numbers will justify your existence to a Board of Directors, government entities, and the general public. You know you are productive, but they must know that as well.
