Effective workforce management hinges on understanding how your team works. But in today’s fast-paced environment, manually monitoring employee work patterns can be a time-consuming and error-prone task. This is where Workday HCM, coupled with a powerful tool like CloudApper AI TimeClock, comes in. Together, they provide an AI-powered solution that empowers HR professionals to gain valuable insights into employee activities, optimize workflows, and ultimately boost productivity. 

CloudApper AI TimeClock seamlessly integrates with the Workday system, transforming any tablet into a secure and versatile timekeeping kiosk. However, its capabilities extend far beyond simple clock-in/out functionality. This innovative solution offers a unique feature: the ability to monitor employee work patterns based on predefined criteria, providing real-time data and automated notifications to enhance labor control.

Streamlining Labor Control with Automated Monitoring

The system can automatically flag discrepancies between an employee’s schedule and work location. With CloudApper AI TimeClock, this vision becomes a reality. Here’s how it works:

  • Employee Punch-In Analysis: CloudApper AI TimeClock triggers an automated review process upon an employee’s clock-in. This process examines a specified timeframe (e.g., two weeks) and analyzes the employee’s assigned schedules.
  • Schedule and Cost Center Correlation: The review focuses on whether any of the employee’s recent schedule assignments align with the cost center they’ve punched into. This helps identify potential deviations from the planned schedule.
  • Triggering a Notification: If the conditions in steps 1 and 2 are met, the system sends an automated text message to the employee. This message highlights the cost center they’re currently clocked into and the budgeted hours for that specific location.

This notification gives a gentle nudge, informing them they’re nearing their allocated time for that particular cost center. The timing of the message can be customized to occur a certain number of hours before the scheduled shift ends, ensuring relevance and avoiding disruption. Additionally, the message displays the shift end time and relevant job number based on the employee’s clock-in and planned shift duration.

Benefits of Automated Monitoring:

  • Improved Accuracy: Eliminate the risk of human error by automating the monitoring employee work patterns process. This ensures you receive reliable data for informed decision-making.
  • Enhanced Labor Control: Identify potential schedule deviations and misalignments between planned tasks and actual work locations. This allows for course correction and ensures resources are deployed efficiently.
  • Increased Transparency: Automated notifications provide employees with a real-time reminder of their allocated time and tasks. This fosters accountability and promotes responsible time management.
  • Reduced Administrative Burden: Free up your HR team’s valuable time by automating routine tasks. They can then focus on more strategic initiatives that benefit the organization.
