Mobile Workforce Management Solutions – A Must Have for Companies Going on Major Recruitment Drives during the COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond

Mobile workforce management solutions are a must have for organizations planning to rapidly increase their employee numbers during the COVID-19 Pandemic, one of the latest examples being the businesses services group Azets Group, who has recently recruited 142 graduates and school leavers.

According to a news report, this move brings its total student population to more than 900. The graduate and school leaver intake will be spread across all of the group’s UK offices.

David Whitson-Black, group head of talent development, said: “Despite the current economic backdrop, we remain committed to investing in people and to developing the talent of the younger generation, who will be the business leaders and advisors of tomorrow.

“Investing in our people and their careers is a key strategy for Azets, benefiting them as well as positioning the company well for the future, as we continue with our ambitious plans to grow the business and deliver a service of outstanding professional quality, that is both personalised and localised.”

Every company that plans to take on a very large number of new employees should also seriously consider the implementation of a top-range, efficient, mobile enabled system for site access monitoring and personnel management, and this is specifically Tensor’s area of expertise.

Tensor Mobile Self Service Module (SSM) – mobile clocking with embedded employee location data

The Mobile Self Service Module (SSM) within the Tensor.NET Time & Attendance offers superb accuracy and a friendly user-interface, complemented by best-in-class workforce productivity-enhancing features.

The Tensor Mobile SSM is a cross-platform app that transforms any iOS, Android or Windows Phone mobile device into a powerful personnel management tool. Available as a free download via the iTunes Store, Google Play or Windows Phone Store, Tensor Mobile SSM allows users to Clock IN and OUT at their respective locations, as well as requesting a period of absence, viewing remaining leave entitlements, recent clocking history and current flexitime balance. The system implements role based security, allowing administrators to easily choose which combination of features employees will have permission to access.

Additionally, mobile users will be able to easily book ON or OFF production jobs, and also receive notifications when their absence, clocking amendment or flexitime adjustment requests are approved or rejected.

Supervisors receive notifications when sub-ordinates create requests and can easily authorise or reject any requested periods of absence, absence cancellations or flexitime adjustments. The management of requests is made easy with the aid of a consolidated calendar displaying the absences of all subordinate employees.

Given its mobile nature, the application also offers a special provision to mitigate the possible connectivity losses, by storing all of the requests on the mobile device and transferring them immediately after a network connection is re-established.

Mobile clockings and job bookings, once submitted, are transferred to the central Tensor.NET application. In addition, the employee’s geographical position is also ascertained from their mobile device’s location and the employee’s movements and clocking records are plotted on a map viewable in Tensor.NET.
