Workforce time tracking tells the truth
---------------------------------------

You can’t improve what you can’t see. But when it comes to knowing your employees' work patterns, it's hard to grasp the details. Until now. With time and attendance software, you'll gain full visibility into your workforce and reveal the unseen in real time.

Whether it's biometric clocks, mobile apps, or web-based systems, you can capture time accurately and automatically to enforce your policies. Managers get the insights they need, right when they need them, to make smarter decisions. Meanwhile, employees can seamlessly manage their time, shifts, and absences to enhance their overall experience.

Powered by automated workforce intelligence and geofencing, along with smooth integrations across scheduling and leave systems, you can simplify your operations, reduce admin, and stay audit-ready. Overall, you’ll better understand all of your workers, whether hourly or salaried, hybrid or in-office, and from the front office to the front line.

> Our flexible employee population used to be managed manually. That meant we’d have to text each worker individually to ask if they could fill a shift, which added up to more than 250 text messages per week at just one of our sites. Now, managing this population in UKG, we can look at the different areas of our factories to determine where we need to place those workers and what we need them to do and then use broadcast messaging in our UKG suite to let them know their shifts are available and booked. It’s been revolutionary.
