Corporate Announcement
Monitor work-from-home employees straight from TimeTec TA App

Working from home or acronym WFH has become new normal to organizations, business and government agencies alike. The risk of the disease spread is contained by not having a percentage of the employee at business premises. As such, those who can afford to WFH are advised to stay at home. Nevertheless, the new norm also comes with a new set of challenges that need addressing to avoid further complication down the road.

Mr Marcus Tng, Manager for Smart Office Division at TimeTec, provides his view based on the many requirements on TimeTec TA's WFH during this pandemic period.

There are three elements to WFH that management needs to pay attention to in making sure that employees stay effective.

  1. An organized work station with all relevant references easily accessible.
  2. All tools installed in the PC to have effective communications with the office and the clients.
  3. A tool to monitor time management.

"When the pandemic hits, people were not prepared at all because the WFH concept is still new on our shores. Businesses are finding ways to navigate the situation. Eventually, they caught up with the convenience of work-from-home, and hence the demand for our solution increases", said Marcus. "Now the questions are not whether your system can monitor WFH, rather how our system can fulfil the clients' requirements when it comes to WFH," he added. The feature has been refined and added with more details to offer customers more values, such as the addition of geofence and selfie features.

In attempting WFH, comfort level has to be mutual. "The office is pleased knowing that you are present and that you are using the company's time to be productive. And you, on the other hand, are committed to performing your level best in your environment," explained Marcus.

TimeTec TA provides transparency between the employee and the management, whereby the staff checks in with his/her GPS location plus a selfie if need be from a smartphone, and the management has a record of the accurate whereabouts of everybody on a daily basis. This data creates mutual understanding and respect between the office and the workforce and is essential for the morale in going forward. Regardless of where the staff are, TimeTec TA records the location data in the smartphone, based on the data from Google Map. According to Marcus, "Some offices are not that strict about the staff's location so long as they clock in their times, yet some prefer to have tighter control. TimeTec TA is designed with the flexibility to cater to an array of business requirements.” TimeTec TA is indeed the most straightforward tool to monitor WFH effectively, yet it provides the most comprehensive details back to the office that requires critical data to manage its workforce.

Good news, TimeTec TA is now available for FREE for 3 months for all SMEs in Selangor through PRODUTK, Program Digitalisasi Urus Tadbir Tenaga Kerja. This is a collaboration project between TimeTec and the Selangor State Govt. PRODUTK provides the SME with a hands-on experience of how digitalization can benefit a company. It is open to all eligible Selangor SME until 31 December 2020.
