The Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown has highlighted many impracticalities of working from home. Sectors such as manufacturing, retail, and logistics are a few of many industries in which companies were forced to quickly adapt and reschedule or repurpose staff so that their employees were able to work in a safe environment.
Recently, I was invited to speak on the ReThink Productivity Podcast, a workforce management series hosted by Simon Hedaux featuring speakers on productivity and efficiency to help businesses measure, track and develop productivity. On the episode, “Your Data Your Way,” I discuss the ways in which WorkForce Software has been supporting those who can’t work from home, what changes we have made in our software, as well as several wider workforce management market trends.
Ensuring the Safety of Onsite Employees
“As lockdown eases, the idea of changing scheduling patterns to reflect social distancing, staggered shifts, or to avoid overlap in working patterns has been very important. Companies have wanted to change their clocking mechanism rather than having biometric methods such as fingerprints, and people are looking for non-touch ways of clocking in like facial recognition.”
Tune in to the podcast for a deeper discussion regarding the ways in which WorkForce Software is supporting onsite employees and learn more about the three market trends which have accelerated through the last year:
- Moving to the cloud
- Empowering employees to have flexibility and control
- Enabling managers to react in the moment
