Time and attendance clocking systems helps employers when faced with wide scale job cuts

Reliable time and attendance clocking systems with extensive built-in workforce management features can help employers when facing wide scale job cuts, an unfortunate situation that’s likely to affect the Barclays employees over the next couple of years.

Up to 30,000 posts are expected to go by 2017 as the bank plans to speed up its cost-saving strategy. This efficiency drive could see the bank’s global workforce fall from 132,000 to below 100,000 in the next two years.

As part of the bank’s current cost-cutting programme, 14,000 posts were slashed in 2014 and a further 5,000 are expected to go by 2016; a strategy the bank “will continue to work towards,” the source said.

It also went on to reveal that middle and back office employees are likely to feel the brunt of the job losses, where the largest cost savings could be achieved.

Time and attendance clocking systems can help streamline activity for HR departments

Given the sheer scale of this redundancy process, it’s quite likely that Barclays’ HR department will be under quite a serious level of stress over the next few weeks, and the same would most likely apply to any firm facing a similar situation.
