How Modern Time and Attendance Systems Improve HR Efficiency
There’s no denying that technology has—and continues to have—a massive impact on how human resources departments operate. Many mundane processes have been automated by improvements in technology, giving HR executives a chance to focus on strategic functions.
One example of technology that has revolutionized HR functions is time and attendance software. Old ‘time in and time out’ punch seem antiquated when compared to modern face recognition devices and biometric attendance solutions.

Before we jump into the benefits of these modern time and attendance solutions, let’s first take a look at how old-fashioned HR systems were holding back organizations.
The Pitfalls of Old Time and Attendance Systems
Punching in time cards to mark attendance did work in theory but was chaotic, inefficient, and easily manipulated. Employees could get their colleagues to mark their attendance, which gave rise to what’s known as buddy punching. Additionally, employees would often come in early or stay late and mark unauthorized overtime for additional pay.
Older time and attendance systems also fail in the face of changes in the workforce. Many organizations now offer flexible operations that allow work-from-home, flexible shifts, and part-time work, among other solutions. A time and attendance system must be able to manage more flexible schedules and save the information digitally for easy access—and that’s where modern solutions come in.
HR Efficiency with Time Attendance Management Software
Modern time and attendance software solutions offer some excellent benefits, such as:
- Reduced manual tasks. Using timesheets and punch cards requires unnecessary manpower and time.
- More accurate time and attendance. HR departments and managers have access to more precise employee time and attendance information because modern solutions prevent buddy punching and time theft.
- Avoid costly payroll errors. Connect employee payroll directly to attendance and minimize the chances of human error.
- 24/7 Visibility. Get complete visibility into the time and attendance of your entire workforce, including remote employees.
