Mobile Workforce Management is becoming an important trend in Time and Attendance
As the mobile workforce is on the rise in pretty much every part of the world, the need for advanced workforce management solutions that are fully capable to keep up with these developments is becoming more and more dire, experts believe.
This extensive migration to a more mobile workspace is driving security and workforce management companies to rethink their mobility strategies, and to implement new mobile management solutions. Mobile workforce management (MWM), a term often used in reference to field teams, is a category of software and related services used to manage employees working outside the company premises.
Time and Attendance Management is one of the most important features of any mobile workforce management system, as time and attendance data provides for more accurate payroll processing, labor law compliance and better insights into workforce productivity.
To keep pace with the growing trends, corporate leadership should invest in MWM technologies to automate manual tasks, improve productivity/profitability, gain transparency, and reduce risk. This is specifically where Time & Attendance UK has the expertise and know-how to help.
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.
