What comes to mind
\nwhen Human Resource (HR) is mentioned? The majority links HR to recruitment,
\nstaff administration and payroll, which is not wrong but HR tasks today are no
\nlonger limited these roles only. The scope of HR now is larger and crucial in facilitating
\nthe strategic development of an organization. Hence, companies need to find
\nways to figure out the technology that can help with improving the process in
\nthis particular area.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Timesheet calculation,
\npayroll and report is just one part of the HR scope, however this task takes up
\na large chunk of the HR department\u2019s time and priorities due to its intricacy,
\nlabor-intensive, time-consuming and time-sensitive nature, which leaves HR with
\nless time and concentration to tackle other issues such as training and development,
\nperformance improvement, business sustenance, employee satisfaction, conflict
\nresolution among other various tasks.

\nWith organizations
\nneeding to respond to changes (industrial, market, seasonal) impacting
\nscheduling at the highest percentile (34%), followed by managing a culturally
\ndiverse<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>workforce with varied<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>performance and operational<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>traditions (33%) coming in second and the
\nneed to manage geographically disperse or mobile workers (31%) coming in last
\namong the top 3 pressures driving time and attendance issues in the workplace
\n(Aberdeen 2008),<\/span> HR is now required to maintain
\na favorable working environment to achieve strategic development of a company by
\nmanaging an increasingly diverse workforce and increasingly disperse workers to
\nensure the continuity of the company\u2019s progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The question is,
\nhow to reduce the time spent on staff timekeeping without interrupting the
\nmonthly process while also ensuring smooth operation? \u00a0<\/span><\/span>

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
An easy solution
\nis that each company operates a timekeeper or time clock that ranges from
\ntraditional punch card machines to Biometrics or NFC tags. Conventional methods
\nlike the punch cards require manual data input, manual calculations and manual
\ninterpretations. Not only does this take a lot of time to complete, it also
\nincreases the chances of error that could cost the company extra money. Other
\nmethods like access cards leaves the possibility of card-switching and
\ndishonest data, while the Biometric method offers convenience and precise data.
\nThe technology used by time clocks is just a tool to collect the individual
\nstaff\u2019s working hours but more importantly, you have to look at the features
\nand functions offered by the software accompanying those tools. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Automation is the
\nkey for HR to start with process improvement. The software needs to handle
\nautomation effectively and produce results, analysis and reports whenever
\nrequired. <\/span><\/div>\n
