What do you do when an employee isn’t performing like they used to? All sorts of causes could be to blame: distractions in an employee’s personal life, fatigue due to taking on additional employment or having a new baby at home, or even broader mental or physical health issues could play a role.

Looking out for biometric capabilities in a time clock is one of the smartest moves a business owner could make. While simply introducing an attendance system into your workforce is an excellent move to boost employee productivity, it doesn’t fully deter time theft, buddy punching, or other methods of cheating you out of your money. Biometric time clocks add another layer of security to employee authentication, through features such as face recognition or fingerprint scanning.

From inaccurate hours being reported, to failing to capture time theft and buddy punching, business owners are becoming more aware of the pitfalls of manual timekeeping.

A good company culture has become increasingly important to employees over the years, making it equally as important for companies looking to hire and retain employees. Digital tools like LMS, engagement platforms, work tracking software, and even a work time-keeping app can help organizations strengthen their company culture while doubling down on digital transformation at the same time.

The ways in which most businesses now operate and interact with customers is drastically different from what they were a few years ago. For example, customers can research their options, learn about other brands, and make purchases all from the comfort of their own homes. And though this has meant a lot of change and adjustment for businesses, many of those changes have been for the better. This is because digital transformation and customer experience influence each other.
