| Superior workforce management with workforce analytics |
Traditionally information collected by workforce management systems served to assist the pay office in automating the payroll
processing function. However accurate time and attendance data can be utilised
to drive efficiencies across different areas of an organisation.
Automated time and attendance produces live reports with
accurate, real-time data and analytics that can provide management with a
better insight into their workforce. With this information at their disposal,
they can identify potential problem areas, and take immediate action to resolve
them before they have an adverse affect on operations.
Integration with other core business IT applications such
as ERP, Outlook Email, Payroll, HR, and point of sale systems, further extend
the use of workforce management information and corporate investment in IT
systems.
Business areas where time and attendance information is
proving to be particularly beneficial are job and labour costing, absence
management, workplace health and safety and fatigue management.
The emergence of improved biometric data capture devices
and the rapid growth of smart mobile technologies have also extended the reach
of workforce time and attendance tracking, enabling organisations to
effectively monitor employee activity and performance data regardless of where
their teams are physically located.
No longer limited to payroll processing, this information
is now being utilised to gain greater operational efficiencies, facilitate WHS
and fatigue management initiatives, and plan production cycles and cost
projects.
