Manage Hybrid Workforce with a Time and Attendance System

Since the Coronavirus pandemic, the reliance on home and/or hybrid working has risen dramatically and is now the future for businesses going forward. With this, comes great trust for employers and also an increase in responsibility on the shoulders of employees.

Manage your hybrid workforce with a time & attendance system

The rise in hybrid working, and even full-time home working, has caused some productivity issues for businesses and business owners since the start of the pandemic.

We all know that working from home can prove to be difficult to motivate yourself and be as productive as you would be in the office, surrounded by your co-workers. This can have knock-on effects for businesses in terms of targets met and volume of work produced.

The element of trust also comes into play, with managers and owners having to take an employee's word for the hours they have worked while at home. This is where a time and attendance system becomes a vital part of the working day and gives companies an honest recording of an employee's working hours.

Time and attendance software for your business

Due to the recent rise in hybrid and home working, time and attendance software has become an essential part of running many businesses in the UK and across the world.

Tensor's time and attendance software, known as WinTA.NET and linked above, is a mobile/wireless technology based time and attendance solution for businesses who employ 20 to over 10,000 employees.

Part of our software includes the Self-Service Module (SSM), a web-based application that allows enrolled employees to clock in or out of shifts and (if in the office) book themselves on or off the fire evacuation list. The SSM may also be used by employees to request new periods of absence, cancel pending absence requests or cancel approved absence requests that have not yet occurred. Requests can also be made to add missed clocking's, amend or delete clocking's made in error. Essentially, the SSM allows employees to work from home and still give an accurate and honest recording of working hours to their employer.

Time and attendance solutions for office-based employees

There are many different time and attendance solutions that your business can benefit from while employees are working in the office. These include clocking stations that are used to clock employees in and out of shifts using smart cards. These typically sit at the entrance/exit of your building, meaning staff can easily scan their smart cards as they come and go from work.

Additionally, biometric time and attendance as well as facial recognition time and attendance have the ability to clock an employee's working hours via fingerprint readings and scanning an individual's facial features. Biometric time and attendance systems are perfect for those businesses that are looking to use advanced technology on-site, while also having the reassurance that you have a reliable and secure method for employees to clock in and out of work.

Facial recognition time and attendance, on the other hand, gives the exact same results as the biometric clocking system, however due to it being a touch free entry system it gives businesses further reassurance that the workplace will be safe and secure from viruses and diseases such as Covid-19.
