Early Findings
Current uses for employee tracking software include the improvement of safety, productivity and attendance.
1. Improving Safety
GAO RFID, a Canadian company, has developed a
people tracking software
that can be used to improve employee safety.
This can be done through
tracking and pinpointing
exact work floor locations where accidents happen.
Ford is an example of company that uses
body tracking software
with sensors in bodysuits to design working environments that would be less physically stressful.
Enel Green Power is another company that uses
people tracking software
in the forms of tags worn by employees to know the exact location of all employees within their hydroelectric plant at all times.
This real-time data would allow
rescuers to maximize
their efficiency in case of accident.
Metro Paris has also used an employee tracking system to monitor the safety of
construction employees
building a tunnel in 2018.
2. Improving Productivity
GAO RFID provides employee
motion-tracking software
that can be used to boost productivity at the workplace.
McDonald's and Amazon are amongst the companies that use
passive tracking software
to monitor their workers, with the aim of improving workplace productivity.
3. Improve Attendance
Companies can use employee tracking software to efficiently
monitor and improve
employee attendance.
The software
automatically processes
employee hours and eliminates non value-added time from workers pay sheets, therefore reducing overall payroll costs.
In Australia, a local mall used
Bluetooth beacons
to track their employees' attendance, which represented a more cost-effective way than other attendance-tracking solutions.
