Boost Employee Engagement with
Time and Attendance Software

Boosting employee engagement is one of the easiest and cheapest things you can do for your business with the biggest return on investment.

Consider this.

Companies with engaged employees are a whopping 21% more profitable, while 92% of executives agree that engaged employees mean happier customers. Plus, improved employee engagement reduces absenteeism by an impressive 41%. So the next time you’re identifying ways to improve your bottom line, employee engagement should come top of the list.

But how can you engage employees without breaking the bank? It might be easier than you think, and it doesn’t require spending thousands on company-wide pay rises. Time and attendance systems have the dual benefit of improving operational efficiency while making your employees happier. And, put simply, a happier workforce is a more profitable one.

Read on to find out how time and attendance software boosts employee engagement and where to find the best one for your business.

Before committing to costly or inconvenient measures, consider something smaller that will improve employee engagement. Let’s dive into the reasons why time and attendance software can be so beneficial to your business.

Research has shown that autonomy is the key to happier, more fulfilled employees. When workers have increased autonomy and freedom in the workplace, they’re more likely to feel that their opinions are valued. And with engaged employees reducing turnover rate by 59%, it’s never been so important that workers feel more autonomous.

The employee self-service portal on Computime’s platform allows workers to take control of their own time and attendance data, giving them a sense of autonomy in their role and making it easier to access all their data in one place. The ability to easily access shift patterns and request holidays hands over some of the control to workers and your business will be all the better for it.

Computime’s time and attendance systems allow users to keep better track of their time spent working. As well as just logging time, users can log the individual tasks and projects they’re working on.

While this allows employers to keep tabs on which tasks have or haven’t been completed, it also gives workers a digital record of their hard work and accomplishments.

With workplace pride being such an important factor in engagement, having a digital log of completed projects ensures that employees feel that their work matters.

There are plenty of reasons why remote workers tend to be more engaged, but workplaces often fear giving their workforce more autonomy for fear that they won’t be as productive. If you want to give your employees the freedom to work from home but still want to keep tabs on their workload, time and attendance systems can help.

The GPS-enabled app means remote workers or people on the move can check in using a Mobile App or a Self-Sevice Browser, while the option to log hours spent on a particular task means you’ll know what your employees are up to even when you aren’t sitting with them.

When workers forget to clock in using clunky manual systems, this can lead to disputes over hours worked and payment. Workplace disputes increase employee dissatisfaction, which affects employee performance and creates a knock-on effect that’s bad for everyone.

When employees use digital methods of clocking in and out for shifts as well as tracking individual tasks, there’s a more accurate and transparent record of hours worked and tasks completed. That way, any potential disputes are quickly diffused with access to transparent data that ensures employees and employers are on the same page.

While employees often feel disenfranchised from unhelpful workplaces, their own performance at work can factor into their dissatisfaction, too. Employees who don’t feel like they’re performing to their full potential are less engaged than those who do.

With our time and attendance software, employees can log the hours spent working on specific tasks and projects. This digital diary gives employees and their managers the chance to gain valuable insight into time management skills. By giving workers the chance to identify where time is being wasted, they can improve their performance, leading to greater job satisfaction and self-esteem.

While it might seem like just a small change, introducing time and attendance systems can actually boost your business in more ways than you think. As well as helping employees feel more engaged at work, time and attendance systems boost productivity and efficiency, and help businesses to better plan ahead for the future.
