How are you managing employee attendance in a WFH Hybrid model?
Sort by:
Our Organization is not using on-line attendance, its more trust basis attendance.
since we use collaborative application it gives us status of user logged to work or not, very basic check on the avaliability.
In our case, the Hybrid WFH Work Model is a delegated decision regarding shifts and control mechanisms. There are common bases, but the final organization is delegated to the business units and departments. We currently do not use any attendance tool, control is established by each department but there is a strong foundation in trust.
Trust, but verify. We don’t expect attendance or track it, but we make sure that tasks are being accomplished in a timely manner.
We pull badge records from the doors. People are not allowed to ghost behind the person in front. If they don't badge in 3 days, and they don't have vacation recorded in the system a report goes to their manager, and one level up. There has been some pressure from HR to "have a discussion" with those employees failing the 3 days a week rule. For 2022 nobody has been fired to my knowledge. However when we banned Work From Home back in 2016, they did start firing people within 6-9 months. They got at least 2-3 warnings to get into the office before firing. Then COVID hit and everyone who could (non-Factory) went to work from home. Now it's hybrid 3 days in office. And leadership has indicated it will be 5 days a week perhaps in the fall or January 2023. We have already lost talent due to 3 days, but all by quitting, or not accepting job offers. I'm personally against the policy as are many of my peers, but this one is coming direct from the CEO. And it's a CLM to protest (Career Limiting Move)
Engage in remote collaboration tools as well as reinforcing education on using tools to report out of office.
