Staff Management Challenges Before Clockster Implementation in September 2022

“Like many other companies, we faced several challenges in managing our workforce. Our previous methods of monitoring attendance at the workplace proved to be inefficient and labor-intensive.”

Manual attendance sheets were always prone to errors due to human factors. Sometimes  the employees used to forget to make the clock-ins, leading to the necessity of additional checks using surveillance cameras. Creating and adjusting work schedules in the excel sheets also carried the risk of errors, consuming significant time and requiring the involvement of HR specialists. Moreover, paper-based requests and notes were used for communication among employees, which didn’t consistently facilitate effective communication.

“Human errors in clock-ins & clock-outs were constant, with excuses such as ‘forgot’ or ‘was distracted by the client.’ A lot of time was spent investigating the causes.” – response to the question about attendance tracking problems.

Before Clockster’s implementation in “12 Mesyatsev,” the company faced organizational management issues. Shift scheduling was managed by department heads and required coordination with the HR department. Making changes to schedules also demanded alignment between managers and HR specialists, resulting in inefficient use of time and resources.
