Technology is developing quickly, so if the workplaces fail to adapt, they are likely to face a very bleak future. Companies that understand the benefits of using smartphones at work have found a way to make the best of people’s obsession with these devices. For instance, smartphones can be used as a new way to clock in and clock out. One of the major preoccupations of HR is tracking time and attendance, and employees’ smartphones can be an extremely useful tool to do that. It’s more likely for employees to forget their ID cards at home than it is to forget their phones. Therefore, HR can use geofencing in order to clock employees when they enter or exit a certain, predefined geographic area. By allowing the staff to use smartphones according to a company’s protocol, HR is showing appreciation for new technological developments in a modern era.
