  • Time, Attendance and Electronic Rostering System Can Transform the Workplace Environment
    Recording attendance details, and time worked, accurately are not as simple as they might seem. Traditional clock punching has certain drawbacks and can result in highly inaccurate records. For example, a worker's buddy might punch in instead of the worker himself, leading to a false record of a worker being present.
  • Staff Rostering System Can Range From the Simple to Very Complex
    Even the smaller establishments need staff rostering systems if they employ more than a few staff, and the staff members have to work at different times. These establishments, say, a retail store, might do the scheduling using a spreadsheet. In the left column, staff names are listed in alphabetical order. The top row of other columns shows the days of the week. Against each staff person, each day's working time is entered.
  • Self Rostering Can Produce Demonstrable Benefits
    The work environment today has the potential to be very different from what it was even a few years ago. What was just theory earlier has entered the realms of practicality with the advances in Information Technology and Web-based functionality. Concepts like self-rostering and work-at-home are practical possibilities now, and could even lead to greater productivity.
  • Nurse Roster Management Is A Critical Task in Health Services
    Nurses must be available 24 hours at health care organizations. This means that shift working is an absolute necessity. However, available nurses cannot be arbitrarily rostered to shifts. Nurse roster management must accommodate the constraints on shift allocation, and other kinds of constraints such as nurses' entitlement to vacations and other kinds of absences.
  • Electronic Timesheet Solution Can Lead to Productivity and Other Benefits
    While a simple spreadsheet-based timesheet is also an electronic timesheet, it is Web based solutions that we generally call an electronic timesheet solution these days. A Web-based solution makes the system accessible to all authorized persons through an Internet-connected computer from anywhere in the world.
  • Workforce Planning Software Can Minimize the Complexity of Workforce Planning
    What is workforce planning? Why is it so critical? And how can workforce planning software help? These are the issues we address in this article.
  • Absence Management Is More an Issue of Not Just Ignoring It
    Absenteeism is a cost for almost all businesses (except perhaps in totalitarian regimes). Employees can be absent on authorized and scheduled leave to which they are entitled. At other times, they might take unscheduled leave, still within permitted limits. Yet other times, they might just absent themselves.
  • Work-Life Balance and Workforce Management
    Individuals face demands on their time from work and life requirements. If they cannot balance the requirements, it could mean an unhealthy life or unemployment. Work-life balance has become an important topic of study and discussion because of its impact on public health and business results.
  • Working Time Directive Issued by the Council of the Europen Union
    The Council of the European Union issued the European Working Time Directive in 1993. The directive seeks to ensure a better level of protection of the safety and health of workers, at the same time avoiding administrative, financial and legal constraints that could hold back the creation and development of small and medium-sized undertakings.
  • Without Workforce Planning, Your Organization Could Become Extinct
    Workforce planning is a key workforce management step for long-term survival in a situation where workers are aging or leaving, and business environments are constantly changing.
  • Workforce Management Policies to Keep Skilled People
    You might be able to attract people with high value skills through a well-presented ad. However, to keep them with you, your organization must have put in place workforce management policies that make these people want to continue with the organization.
  • Time and Attendance Tracking in Workforce Management
    Time and attendance recording is the key function in any workforce management system. The workers work for pay and payrolls are prepared on the basis of time and attendance records. Accurate time and attendance records not only save employers from losing money on excess payments but also instil employee confidence in the payroll system.
  • Fixed Versus Flexible Working Hours in Workforce Management
    Flexible working hours have been found to lead to a happier workforce, and to far better customer service and share valuations. However, there is a fear that implementing flexible working hours is complicated and that it could lead to a flood of impossible demands from employees.
  • Absence Management and Workforce Management
    That absence management is a key component of workforce management does not really need an explicit mention. However, planned and unplanned absence is a universal fact of work and many organizations might take it as something that cannot be avoided.
