The importance of accurate time tracking for frontline retention cannot be overstated. It ensures equitable remuneration and fosters job satisfaction, which aids in employee retention. In a time when frontline employee turnover is a significant concern, accurate time capture is not only a viable strategy for frontline retention but also a must. This is where AI comes into play, completely altering the way time is tracked.

This transformation is being led by CloudApper hrPad, an AI-powered tablet/iPad-based HR service delivery solution. It employs cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology to precisely record frontline workers‘ hourly labor, aiding employee retention. Join us as we investigate this advanced strategy and how it could transform frontline workforce management.

Why is Frontline Retention Difficult?

Frontline retention has always been a problematic component of HRM, and it has become increasingly difficult in recent years for a variety of reasons.

According to the US Chamber of Commerce, only 5.7 million people are unemployed despite over 10 million job openings. This indicates that there is a significant labor market gap, particularly for frontline positions. Furthermore, the fact that 50% of hourly workers leave their jobs within the first four months indicates a high rate of turnover in frontline positions. This high rate of turnover reflects the difficulties in frontline retention.

High Burnout Rate

Frontline jobs are rapidly changing due to both changing customer expectations and technological advancements. Frontline employees are expected to be more tech-savvy, flexible, and customer-focused than ever before. Retention can be difficult due to job dissatisfaction and burnout caused by increased demand and expectation.

Lack of Fair Pay

Because frontline employees are frequently paid on an hourly basis, ensuring equitable compensation can be difficult. Payroll computations can be complicated by factors such as overtime, shift differentials, and irregular hours. Furthermore, frontline employees frequently believe that their pay does not adequately compensate for the mental and physical demands of their jobs, which leads to dissatisfaction and employee turnover.

Difficulty of Accurate Time Capture

HR may find it difficult to accurately record frontline time due to the nature of their jobs. Frontline workers frequently work in shifts, from various locations, and sometimes even from afar. This makes it challenging to monitor their working hours precisely, which may lead to disagreements and unhappiness.

Lack of Engagement

Frontline employees frequently feel disconnected from the rest of the company because they work remotely or off-site. This lack of involvement can lead to feelings of alienation and disconnection, which can harm employee retention and job satisfaction.

Difficulty of HR Support

Frontline employees frequently do not receive adequate HR support because they often work remotely or off-site. Because they may not have easy access to HR resources and support, it may be difficult for them to address their concerns or issues. This lack of assistance can aggravate the retention problem by causing annoyance and dissatisfaction.

AI-Powered Time Capture as a Frontline Retention Strategy

AI-powered time capture has proven to be an effective retention strategy for frontline employees in today’s workforce. According to a recent study, companies that use AI in their HR procedures have significantly higher employee retention rates. This is primarily because AI improves the accuracy and efficiency of time and attendance management, which has a direct impact on employee engagement and happiness.
