How is the human resource industry changing?

Salt Lake City, UT, February 24, 2006. For years technology has moved forward in leaps and bounds but only recently have those changes been felt in the human resource industry. For example time clocks and punch cards, both of which became an industry standard and symbols of the workforce, have gone the way of the Dodo.

Today those noisy clocks and narrow yellow cards are being replaced with quicker, more efficient, electronic time tracking devices accessible through computer terminals, swipe stations and cutting edge biometric devices. From there compiling, approving and exporting those time entries is done quicker, safer and more accurately to either the payroll provider or accounting software programs.

Besides offering the ease of conducting payroll, new advances in time tracking technology gives both managers and HR departments more time to spend on other duties which often are procrastinated because there are only so many hours in the day—Most are wasted every pay period on the tedious chore of conducting payroll. Take scheduling for large companies with multiple locations for example. Some managers will literally spend days wrestling with schedules and, if the business is open 24 hours a day such as hospitals, assisted living centers and overnight delivery services, the problem is only compounded.

Advances in technology make it possible for companies in all industries to streamline in ways that were only dreamed of 30 years ago! Spending time tediously counting and adding hours and minutes is a thing of the past with advanced time tracking systems like HourDoc. Not only are those processes old, but every year they create millions of dollars in mistakes as well! (chart available upon request)

Currently HourDoc offers the most comprehensive and elaborate scheduling device on the market today, making it possible to create schedules for any size business, (with or without support staff) and do it in literally minutes no matter how many locations or employees. HourDoc also currently offers a payroll reporting system that exports all time entries within seconds of approval to either a payroll provider or software program.

By letting more and more businesses know they can save time and money in an area they had previously ignored helps the economy grow and for companies to cut waste dramatically. Exploring the option of advanced time tracking can often lead to surprising results for most business owners, department managers and HR personnel simply because they do not know it is currently available to them.
