Relevance of Attendance Management Systems for Remote Employees

The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of remote working for employees globally. It has now become the “future of work” which makes it necessary for the HR team and top management to devise strategies and put together systems that maximize employee productivity even in a remote setup.

Attendance Management System

In this “new normal” managers are at a disadvantage to measure productivity. With rising distractions, employees are finding it difficult to optimize their time and employers are at a constant suspicion of trusting their employees, thereby straining employee/ employer relationships.

Time and attendance management software can simplify this issue by creating a more trusting environment in the organization. Managers get the assurance of their team performing optimally and employees don’t have to prove their commitment time and again. A time and attendance system will record the login and logout time of employees, track their hours clocked, early departures, late arrivals, absenteeism, etc.

Here’s how a time and attendance system can add value for your remote employees:

1. Aids in workforce management
2. Maintains payroll accuracy
3. Maintaining a clear log of hours worked
4. Capacity management
5. Project management
6. Cost control

This tool aids managers in accessing a centralized system and exercising greater control over employee timings, assignments, etc.

1. Remote work is about flexibility and with a time management system in place, it becomes easier to track timings while accounting for the “break hours”.
2. Accurate tracking of employees’ hours in a remote setup makes the task easier for HR management to reconcile data.
3. It improves accountability and productivity, fills security gaps, and reduces the chance for human error.
4. An online time and attendance software allow employees to view and access their records. This grants them freedom and makes them self-reliant without relying on HR management for simple jobs.
5. It can be customized depending on your organizational needs and help you maintain control over costs associated with special projects.
6. Managers can fix employee schedules depending on the most productive hours and needs of the job.

A time and attendance system grants autonomy to a remote workforce and makes it more productive.
