In keeping with the rapid pace of today’s tech-driven landscape, many start-ups are entering the global market with innovative ideas and agile business models. Companies, ranging from start-ups to mid-range, are facing a typical challenge in managing employee attendance. Overall performance and productivity are also affected. Limited financial resources often prevent these organisations from investing in comprehensive HRMS and related attendance tracking tools. As a result, they rely on manual spreadsheet management or traditional biometric systems and punch cards, which leads to significant difficulties in calculating compensation and tracking employee performance or initiating employee increments.
Besides, several issues, such as thousands of human errors, falsifying employee attendance sheets, incorrect data entry, and duplicate record entries, not only hamper their branding but also hinder their productivity. In the long run, there may also be a chance of the company being shut down. Moreover, due to the lack of a basic spreadsheet attendance system or an AI-based attendance portal with biometric, GPS, and kiosk support, they just failed to welcome the remote talent as well.
Additionally, managing a hybrid workforce or remote work culture is no longer a luxury; it’s become a necessity. Companies across the globe are navigating the challenges of maintaining seamless attendance tracking for both remote and on-site employees.
If you’re struggling with inconsistent logs, scattered data, and manual updates, you’re not alone. But there is an opportunity to make a way out of that repetitive struggle. And it’s where the Pocket HRMS steps in,
