New White Paper from InVision Software: Reducing Costs by Integrating Staff Scheduling and Time Management
Lisle, IL / Ratingen (Germany), August 19th, 2009 – InVision Software, a leading international provider of enterprise-wide workforce management (WFM) systems, offers a free white paper to staff planners, time management supervisors and HR managers focusing on integrated staff scheduling and time management processes. The downloadable guide explains how to optimize the management of working times in increasingly demanding working environments and in the context of progressively more complex company structures.
Each efficient personnel scheduling application requires an equally sophisticated time management application that is tightly integrated to allow the processing of the actual hours worked against the scheduled time. In most businesses, labor and time are the most valuable resources and the need to improve management control and visibility in these areas is highly sought. The more flexible these resources are, the more complex the requirements become for time management. Even in small and medium-sized companies, this cannot be managed without modern IT applications. In the InVision white paper, it is explained step by step how to optimize all time management processes with the help of the software solution InVision Enterprise WFM : from the transfer, distribution, allocation, monitoring and approval of working times using time accounts to the preparation of this information for wages and salary accounting systems.
“The automation of time management processes saves time and costs and also helps to avoid errors, easing the scheduling burden and increasing employee satisfaction,” says Peter Bollenbeck, CEO of InVision Software . “For efficient time management, it is important that any number of rules may be defined to process automatically all of the time account transactions in the system. This may apply to specific break time rules, for instance, or tolerance times at the beginning or end of a shift as well as to evaluate additional work done as extra work without bonus, or with bonus.”
Integrating staff scheduling and time management processes into a comprehensive workforce management system provides a number of benefits leading to increased efficiency and performance, especially in weak economic phases: reduced administration costs due to automated time account calculation, eliminated pay inflation due to identifying time recording errors and anomalies and thus reduced staffing costs as well as an increased employee satisfaction and pro-ductivity due to more flexible working times.
