Employees can clock in or clock out from their smartphones and the data is directly integrated into the software. Another advantage is that this option avoids having to physically touch the time registration system for the employees who still work on site. A feature that also acts as a barrier gesture!

#Access your documents securely on your smartphone

Your company is at the heart of current trends: you show your ecological footprint, comply with health standards, energize your company and save money by digitalizing employees’ documents with smartphone access. This function creates a trust relationship with your employees who can see that the company is acting fast regarding both social and ecological issues and implement positive solutions. The employees appreciate a company that cares about its image and they will show it by being more committed to the company’s success. Moreover, being able to quickly access pay slips on the smartphone is very convenient!

#Keeping up on absence requests and leave balances

Various countries and companies will have employment laws surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Employers can claim government funds for COVID-19 cases with employees in some countries, therefore, it is vital to keep track of these cases when it happens. Others may have symptoms and need to self isolate. Whatever the reason for an employee being absent, the fact they can reach for their phone and submit their absent is super easy and efficient. Submitting holiday requests, via the phone in just a few clicks, will give your employee experience a boost. Checking leave balances is as easy as checking your bank balance via our app!

You are now focusing much more on the achievement of goals and the performance of your employees (discover our top tips for a remote performance review) instead of presenteeism and attendance. However, in order to implement these new strategies, it is essential to build a mutual trusting relationship with the employees based on concrete facts. Without the right tools, it can be difficult to ensure the presence of your team when they are working remotely. Your monitoring methods might be obsolete and not adapted to remote working, a way of working that is becoming increasingly important. In this blogpost, discover top tips for an effective remote time management, even if you are not at the office!

Our Top Tips for a Remote Time Management!

#1 Maintain a trusting relationship with your team

For Human Resources or Managers, it is crucial to maintain of relationship of trust with employees. Even if the result remains paramount, it is necessary to ensure that the time spent on tasks is correct, especially in a remote working context. Trust is the key! Entering the working hours directly on a user-friendly and digital platform may be the solution you are looking for! Our Nova Smart NG software offers several clock-in clock-out solutions: a simple click on the hour counter from a computer or a smartphone, a timesheet solution to enter hours for a specific project… Optimise remote time management with Nova Smart NG!

#2 Allow flexible working hours

Remote workers need more flexibility in their working hours. By eliminating travel to the workplace, they can start their day earlier and finish earlier or the contrary. Lunch breaks are usually shorter and some employees who are also parents will prefer to work in the evenings to adapt to the family lifestyle and take care of the children after school. If you give more flexibility in the working hours, you show your employees that you care about their well-being and that you are willing to adapt. This is a powerful source of motivation for employees who will thank you by being more productive.

With Nova Smart NG, you can keep control over this flexibility by setting up time slots for mandatory attendance, by checking the working hours or by analysing attendance rates with concrete and customized reports.

#3 Opt for an efficient and fluid communication

Working remotely can lead to misunderstandings that can affect the company’s atmosphere and waste valuable time. It may be then wise to give more autonomy to your teams thanks to a digital platform on which the employees can directly consult their data, documents, timesheets… With Nova Smart NG, each actor of your company have specific access to the software and carry out their absence requests (illness, holidays, moving, etc.), consult the hour counter and check on their planning. HR and managers will receive alerts to accept or refuse requests while having a global visibility on the different requests and absences already approved. Our solution ensures smooth, fast and efficient communication.

#4 Measure the impact of the pandemic on your business

Measuring the impact of this year’s absences on the company will enable you to set precise objectives for the new year. You can also provide a detailed report to your top management, so they can add absenteeism data related to COVID-19 to the general analysis of the impact of the pandemic over the company’s activities.

Nova Smart NG provides you with accurate statistics on the year’s absences. Measure absenteeism by service, period, age, functions, etc. You can extract the files in the format you want (Excel, pdf, docx…).

#5 Motivate your teams with early planning

Preparing team activity schedules in advance shows employees that the company is still ruining and reassures them for their future. It contributes to the company’s dynamism and significantly improves its organization. Our Nova Smart NG Scheduling module allows you to plan the schedules of your teams by sector, create templates, add your events, create a list of replacements or even share the schedules only with the concerned team.
