A Guide for Time and Attendance Strategies

In July and August, Aberdeen Group surveyed more than 300 organizations in order to determine Best-in-Class practices in managing core HR functions. The study, The Future of Core HR Functions, showed that automating manual processes and workflows - including time and attendance - yielded tremendous gains across key metrics. This Research Brief will examine the 220 organizations from that study that indicated they employed some combination of hourly and non-hourly workers, and will identify Best-in-Class practices pertaining to implementing effective time and attendance processes. The recommendations included herein serve as a roadmap to improve accuracy, streamline payroll, boost productivity of HR personnel, and enable operational managers to focus on core business competencies.
