Time Tracking with Digital HRMS: How to Manage Remote Employee Performance
Today, due to the Covid-19 outbreak, organizations across the globe have transitioned to remote work in order to limit the exposure of their employees to the deadly virus that has taken most countries of the world in its grasp. When employees are not present in the office premises but working remotely from their homes, there are several challenges that may come up.
Tracking the productivity of the employees and whether they are working for the designated number of hours, is one of the key challenges that teams and organizations face. Time tracking can be essential for several reasons – it is needed for billable resources to justify for client billing. In addition to that, effective time tracking brings in transparency within the team and makes it easy for everyone to focus on their work.
Ineffective time tracking, on the other hand, can cause a loss in earnings for the team as work does not get completed within the time frame or deadline. Also, when employees are working remotely, it is simply not possible to keep a track on their activities as effectively as when everyone is present in the office. This is where an automated time tracking system can step in and make things easier for organizations as well as the employees.
