Christmas is traditionally a time for fun, family and friends, but can often be a very stressful period when running a company, due to multiple time and attendance issues. Wildly fluctuating sickness levels and shift patterns, increased volume of leave requests and increased production levels to meet seasonal demand; these can all put a huge strain on management and HR administration alike.
The CIPD have recently produced their annual Absence Management Survey Report, which shows that just a quarter of organisations monitored achieved their 2014 goal of reducing employee absence.
Valeo Vision Belgium, a unit of the automotive supplier Valeo, has specialized in the production of daytime running lights, headlights and fog lights.
The Care & Dementia Show is the biggest trade event in the UK for the Care sector, allowing visitors to experience the very latest products from suppliers, attend seminars to receive free training and advice and network with their peers and stay up to date with changes in the sector.
Hilton Hotels, one of the largest global Hotel Groups with more the 550 hotels in 79 countries has just selected Bodet to supply its staff time and attendance monitoring system for the Brussels Hilton Hotel.
Staff will use the interactive terminals to clock in and out, request holidays and time off, and receive personal messages.
Bodet Ltd has just launched the Kelio Visio X7, an award winning interactive attendance and communication terminal designed to simplify and improve staff interaction and the collation of data.
The new multifunctional terminal has already scooped a 2015 Red Dot Award for its innovative qualities and design excellence.
YOTEL, the affordable luxury hotel group have just installed an automated, biometric time and attendance system in their innovative European airport hotels for staff or 'crew' as YOTEL like to call them to register for duty. The new system installed by Bodet at the Heathrow, Gatwick and Schiphol sites uses full palm scanners which are connected directly to HQ and provides accurate and reliable real-time attendance data for management planning and payroll.
YOTEL's finance director Gemma Gowers commented, "YOTEL is the only airport hotel company that sells rooms by the hour, which has helped us to achieve a 200% occupancy at Heathrow. It's therefore imperative that all our hotels are fully staffed around the clock so we can provide the first class service that our customers demand. With over 70 crew employed on different rotas, it's difficult to monitor attendance accurately, especially on nights and during peak periods."
Swallows Meadow Court, a residential care home with Nursing in the West Midlands employing over 120 staff, has installed an automated biometric time and attendance system which is designed not only to ensure accurate and reliable data for payroll and management planning, but to save time for all staff.
Payroll administrator Marion Vickers commented, “We provide round the clock care so we operate a 24 hour shift system, and obtaining accurate time and attendance data was always a problem with paper-based time sheets. It took us hours every month checking for errors or exaggerated claims, correlate the times with each shift and then manually enter the data for payroll. Even then we couldn’t be certain the data was accurate.”
Writhlington Sports and Leisure has made paper-based timesheets redundant by installing a new Bodet time and attendance system that incorporates digital fingerprint scanners. The new biometric system means clocking in and out is now totally automated saving time for staff at every level.
Based at Writhlington School in Radstock, Writhlington Sports and Leisure is a community based facility providing a diverse range of Sports and Leisure activities for the local communities and surrounding areas in North East Somerset. With a broad range of facilities for adults and children including a fitness suite, an activity centre, and facilities for badminton, tennis, cricket and football, the Sports Centre employs over 70 part and full time staff.
Bodet exhibited at the Care Show which took place on the 4th and 5th of November in the NEC, Birmingham. The next Care Show will be held on the 25th and 26th March 2015 in Bournemouth.
