15 Jan Need to Convince Your Boss to Invest in a Timekeeping & Scheduling System?
Are you trying to persuade your boss to implement an advanced Timekeeping and Scheduling system such as Workforce Management Suite? Today’s post is for HR managers who want to upgrade from manual processes to an automated system but don’t have the authority to make the decision. Many business owners who have not upgraded to a Workforce Management system mistakenly think they can’t afford it or don’t believe they need it.
Let’s look at six persuasive arguments for automated Workforce Management:
1. Team Scheduling Ease
Effective employee scheduling is at the heart of Human Capital Optimization. Scheduling impacts productivity, cost of labor, workforce morale and turnover, resource allocation, administrative efficiency, and DOL compliance.
TimeSimplicity, the employee scheduling tool in Workforce Management Suite, does more than just allow managers to create schedules in minutes; it allows them to empower their labor force to engage with scheduling and eagerly take over many tasks previously performed by supervisors. TimeSimplicity helps eliminate over-staffing, minimizes overtime with system alerts, quickly identifies gaps in coverage before it’s too late, and slings email and SMS warnings.
“Scheduling … is having a huge effect on the bottom line. Increasing scheduling effectiveness offers a competitive edge that can make HR a budget hero.” Workforce management consultant Lisa Disselkamp
2. Eliminate Employee Time Theft
Paper time card systems can be manipulated in a number of ways from hours padding to buddy punching. Many employers who switch to an automated system are surprised by the reduction in employee hours the very first pay period. Even if you notice just a small reduction, this advantage will compound, promptly paying for the cost of adopting an automated system like TimeWorksPlus, the employee time and attendance tool in Workforce Management Suite.
3. Analyze and Improve Resource Allocation
The job codes in TimeWorksPlus empower business owners to automatically track how much time each department or employee spends per account, project, product, or any other operational classification.
4. Minimize Administrative Expenses
With old school manual timekeeping systems, supervisors and administrative staff spend tedious hours troubleshooting timesheet inaccuracies and missing information, and then manually entering the data into the payroll processing platform. When HR staff can submit payroll in minutes, they are free to work on projects with a greater return on investment.
5. Improve Employee Morale
TimeSimplicity makes it easier to accommodate employee’s scheduling preferences. Improving staff members’ work/life balance increases loyalty, reduces burnout, spurs engagement, and saves on labor costs by resulting in increased employee retention.
6. Compliance Peace of Mind
Labor audit liability should concern every employer in the country. Take, for example, the Affordable Care Act. ACA standards can be involved to comply with because you have to know all of your team members’ schedules and how many hours they’re going to work each week. With TimeWorksPlus, this type of information is tracked automatically and gives supervisors complete control and 24/7 oversight. They can monitor, track, and make needed changes instantly.
A Win-Win: Improve Compliance Without Adding More Work
Workforce Management Suite paired with one of our biometric time clocks can substantially reduce your risk of being fined for noncompliance while simultaneously minimizing the time necessary to track employee time and attendance.
