One of the most significant changes brought about by the pandemic has been the work environment. With a surge in the number of employees working remotely, tracking work hours has become a challenge. A survey by the DataSenado Institute shows that nearly 80% of the 5,000 respondents work longer than their scheduled hours. The result is increased stress and burnout among these professionals.
To help with the work-life balance of contractors and increase legal certainty, some companies have invested in resources to monitor time tracking. The hiring of applications for remote electronic time tracking has increased considerably, according to Dimas Fausto, president of Dimastec, a company specializing in time management and access control.
Among the most sought-after features by employers are georeferencing and a kind of virtual fence, which only allows time tracking to be recorded if the professional is within the physical space permitted to perform the activity. Tools like this help with productivity and prevent health problems, especially psychological ones.
For companies looking for systems that help them offer this control, the guidance is to identify whether the application complies with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD). In addition, consideration should also be given to ease of use so that all employees understand how to operate the tool.
