Electronically Recording Employee’s Time Increases Productivity

Individual employee productivity can increase by up to 25% if they know that their time is being monitored and that they are being paid correctly research shows.
 
The survey, undertaken by Vizual Management Solutions shows that business leaders are keen to keep their skilled workforce and pay them correctly for the hours they put in at work. The main conclusion from the research is that an effective time recording system provides many benefits to the success of their organisation. These benefits include a reduction in payroll administration, effective management of absences, delegation of responsibility to line managers, health and safety and all employees are treated equally.
 
Martin Thomas, Marketing Manager with Vizual Management Solutions commented that “Line managers need to know the number of hours put in by each employee within a specific period in order to be able to pay him or her accordingly. This can be an easier task if the number of employees is relatively low and the officials concerned can manage the tracking of a small number of records manually or even by using a simple computer application.”
 
“The task becomes more complex if the business has a larger number of employees. Similarly, the entire operation can prove to be very costly due to human error and administrative mistakes. For this reason more and more companies are looking to implement and follow an accurate system for attendance monitoring which will make the entire process result-oriented, error-free and extremely convenient.”
 
“Another important reason that necessitates the maintenance of an accurate employee attendance system is to increase productivity. Ensuring that every minute of constructive work is recorded and rewarded properly will act as a motivation for the employees who will then strive to put in greater efforts and hence enhance the overall productivity of your business.”
 
The research concludes that one sure way of accurately measuring attendance is to implement professional tracking software that will automate the entire procedure and make it much more reliable and convenient to follow.
 
Amy Kirk, the New Business Manager with Vizual Management Solutions, said “Our research proves that electronic time and attendance systems are tried and tested and offer multiple benefits to companies wanting to monitor working hours. The main benefit being the amount of money it will save them. Tighter control of employees attended time reduces absenteeism and administration costs will be reduced as all shift patterns can be easily inputted into the system ensuring accurate recording.”
 
“Businesses can manage every aspect of an employees' attended time at work. Attendance data can be recorded in real time by employees using a wall mounted terminal, their PC the Internet or a handheld device. This range of options allows office based, shopfloor or mobile workforces to record their attendance.”
 
“Our research results are encouraging and prove that business leaders are not only encouraging their workforce to work harder but willing to invest in a system that will ensure they are paid correctly for the time they give to the business.”
