UKG and time management: driving the employee experience
One of the key areas of Human Resources in recent years has been the employee experience, which refers to all the perceptions, emotions, opinions and experiences of employees in a company. When developing its solution for time management, UKG had a clear premise: employee satisfaction is directly related to productivity, while dissatisfaction leads to lower performance, lack of commitment and increased staff turnover, which entails additional costs in hiring and training.
In this article, we will talk about how technology is the way to improve our Human Resources departments, examining in particular the solution proposed by UKG, UKG Dimensions.
What factors can drive the employee experience?
Technology has changed our lives. With regard to Human Resources, we are able to boost employee satisfaction and engagement through advances such as automation, artificial intelligence and real-time analytics. Below, we will see what aspects employees specifically benefit from and which therefore improve their experience:
- Empowerment: thanks to technology, work tasks are facilitated and improved, optimising management and streamlining processes. Employees can perform more tasks in less time, be interconnected, and have access to real-time information, boosting efficiency and supervisors' control. The availability of real-time information and the full transparency of data and processes enable decisions to be made on the basis of objective information. Automation, meanwhile, allows us to avoid repetitive or low-value tasks. This all adds up to a more positive perception of the work being done.
- Flexibility: Employees value flexibility in companies, as it gives them more opportunities and personal satisfaction. In an increasingly demanding labour market, organisations must offer flexible options in order to attract and retain talent, while having the right tools for control.
- Communication and mobility: Having all the necessary information organised at their fingertips allows employees to focus on production instead of wasting time on administrative tasks. Control and planning capacity are essential at all times. Effective communication and mobility are key to keeping employees informed and connected.
One of the current problems for companies is talent retention. Employee experience has been shown to play a key role in the employee's sense of belonging and responsibility towards the company, which fosters long-term commitment.
In short, technology is a way to improve employee experience, and this is where solutions like that which we present today become important, by allowing continuous evaluation of satisfaction and timely decision-making. Let's take a look at what UKG's time management software has to offer:
