Palm Attendance Software:
Tracking employee absenteeism in the workplace. Introducing a PDA tool to
control your employee's absences and track vacations. Absenteeism is a problem
whose solution escapes many company managers in general. Its cost for a business
is high: reduced productivity and lower profits. Dealing with absenteeism
properly can provide an important clue to improved, more effective management.
One critical component of absenteeism management is to obtain timely and proper
employee attendance information. For years, this information has been recalled
from punch clocks or by hand written reports. Let us introduce a completely new
approach for this important Human Resources Management issue: NomadWorks
Absentee, a Palm tool that allows business owners to control absenteeism and
attendance of the employees in the workplace. To explain how it works, imagine
the next scenario: You have a restaurant where you go every morning like your 10
employees that work with you. The working hours are 9 to 5. One day one employee
doesn't come to work because he calls to say he was sick. You notice this and
get your Palm PDA from your pocket, do 3 taps on it, and return it to your
pocket. The same happens to unexcused leaves, tardiness, performance issues,
including any other type of event you want your PDA to manage. After 1 week,
month, or any period, you check the employee's statistics to take any of the
several involved decisions. Find this software interesting? Learn the specific
benefits: Updated absence and attendance information wherever you need it.
Knowledge of who are the employees with more absenteeism. Information obtained
separately by event type (excused leave, sick, lates, etc) and any other event
type you want to add. Evidence to take decisions like verbal counseling,
suspension or termination of employment. Know how your employees are incurring
in tardiness. Most tasks are executed with a few taps. No graffiti or keyboard
needed for everyday tasks. Easy and quick to operate. No punch clock needed.
Avoid the problems of self-esteem that lead the punch clock. Nobody likes to
have to punch a card twice a day. This also eliminates the need of writing the
cards every time and capture the information into a journal or a PC. Program
your employee's vacations. Vacation is another event type predefined with this
tool. Obtain relevant statistics of your information. Use them also as
information to be shown to the employees, this way you can convince them to
lower the absenteeism. Tracking personnel in shifts and high performance teams
is easy with this application. It is a tool also for supervisors, who now have
information to discipline their workers. Improve employee morale, controlling
these issues in such way.
