It has been a really tough year for everyone. Both at work and in their personal life. Many life & career goals have turned awry and everyone is just trying to look at next year to turn over a new page.

The thing about 2020 is that many companies are forced to do the transition and the company that is agile and quick to react are more poised to tackle the new challenges in 2021.  We have a checklist below for you to make sure that your company is geared for the new year.

Pandemic continued impact

HR is trusted with the role of piloting the company towards a well-maintained balance between authorities, management and employee. Staying up-to-date and adhering to the rules and regulations of the local authorities; formulating policies and plans with top management; keeping employees updated and ensuring well-being.

With the pandemic situation seemingly with no end in sight, the HR must answer questions like these below:

1. How do we make our office safe and compliant?
2. Should some staff be allowed to stay working remotely?
3. How do we keep track and organise the rotation of employees to the office?
4. Is the company’s finance doing well and how do we communicate layoffs if there is a need.
5. How do we ensure the mental well-being of our employees?

Communication channel

In this year, many companies have finally elected to adopt the use of an instant messaging(IM) tool for workplace communication. Prior to this, many companies were still using e-mail which can make group communication more clunky and difficult to manage.

With an IM tool, group channels can be created for department and sub-units as well. Announcements can also be made via the group channel instead of e-mail as well.

Moreover, there is much more social interaction between the employees which can help to combat employee loneliness. This is a well-known phenomenon this year when many employees began to feel distant from their co-workers.

This is considered to be essential and you can see your company achieve better productivity and higher employee productivity by leaps and bounds.

Staying flexible

In order to remain agile with regulatory policies, one would most definitely need to rely on a tool or platform to make changes quickly while keeping the general workflow the same.

Our users of KING OF TIME are able to make the quick implementation of shift changes because they have a comprehensive suite of customisation available to them in the settings.

1.

One example is the creation of various shifts. This allows the company to stagger start time of employees and allow them to avoid the morning crowd. The issue is that the company will lack an understanding of who is reporting to work at what time without the use of a system to schedule and something to record time.

KING OF TIME can get this covered within 5-minutes and users can transition with zero hassle. How convenient is that?

2.

Another example, many companies begin to do rotational work from home and office arrangement. These users have a pattern that repeats every 2 weeks, 3 office days followed by 2 office days.

KING OF TIME can quickly build a department-based schedule and any individual with different arrangements can be adjusted as well. This would override the department/division’s settings.
