We live in a new era where remote working is becoming increasingly popular within companies, and those businesses which do not employ a remote workforce will likely run a hybrid operation mixing up having their workforce work on-premise and remotely. This presents new problems in trying to ensure employees remain punctual.
In time gone by, normal practice would have typically seen all of a companies workforce on-premise for each working day. No matter where someone is working from, whether it be at home or on-site, companies need to ensure the same level of punctuality is being maintained. Whilst employers would like to think they can trust their employees, they are better off ensuring attendance is accurately monitored via a technology that enables them to confidently do so.
How can attendance be monitored?
It is important to remember that clocking-in to work is not all that matters, you need to know people have fulfilled their obligatory hours within their contract so a technology that enables them to record when they finish work for the day is required.
A checklist of everyones name on a clipboard would only work if everyone is present in the same working environment, and even then there will be ways to get around recording an accurate representation of their attendance and time spent at work for that day. Clock-in code machines replaced the more traditional methods of attendance monitoring but even then, it does not provide a wholly accurate representation of an individuals attendance if other people know their code and they conveniently ‘forget’ to use it either when arriving or departing.
This is why a biometric time attendance monitoring system is by far the best option. Powered by a biometric system, users will be authenticated and verified via face, iris, or fingerprint detection. This accuracy is unrivalled in comparison to other monitoring methods due to the fact each individual has their own unique biometric.
This type of attendance monitoring system can also be utilized in different work settings, such as on-premise or at home. NCheck.net is a great example of this; providing software that can be accessed in both situations so all bases are covered no matter where someone is working from.
It would not be unreasonable to expect the following by integrating this sort of system:
- Cost effective
- Easy to use
- Secure
- Contactless scanning offers a more hygienic option
- Offline monitoring
- Quick
