Large number of companies still fail to provide the necessary tech tools to boost workplace efficiency

Despite the huge leaps forward in terms of workplace technology that occurred over the past couple of years, many organisations are failing to get the basics right when it comes to providing the digital and virtual systems that support employees in their roles, a recent research report from workplace effectiveness assessors Leesman has been able to suggest.

Despite the fact that remote working is reportedly on the rise, employees are not empowered to work in this way, the research points out. In fact, the company’s latest figures suggest that 23 per cent of employees participating in the poll do not agree that they have the technology tools and infrastructure that enable them to work in different locations across the office or from different locations outside of the office.

The report predicts that within the next two years, more companies will embrace the emerging ‘no-collar workforce’ trend by redesigning jobs and reimagining how work gets done in a hybrid human-and-machine environment.

Time and Attendance UK – suppliers of advanced software solutions equipped with mobile workforce management applications

Our software suite includes a Mobile Self Service Module app, which enables employees to:

-Clock IN or OUT
-Request a period of absence
-View their remaining leave entitlements, recent clocking history and current flexitime balance
-Book ON or OFF production jobs
-Receive notifications when requests are approved or rejected.

Supervisors are able to see subordinate work colleague’s time sheets and approve or deny their absence requests. Management of requests is made easy with the aid of a consolidated calendar showing the absence of all subordinate employees.

The Mobile SSM implements role based security allowing you to easily choose which combination of features employees will have access to. Disabled features, such as the ability to view flexitime, will simply not appear at all.

The application adapts to a sudden loss of connectivity by storing requests on the iPhone. Directly a network connection is re-established any stored information is transferred immediately.

Mobile clockings and job bookings, once submitted, are transferred to the central application and the employee’s geographical position is also ascertained from their iPhone’s location. Employee movements recorded in this manner are plotted on a map viewable in the main application.
