KELLY GROUP LAUNCHES PRODUCTIVITY MANAGEMENT TOOL
Johannesburg, 29 March 2010 - Comprehensive employment services provider the
Kelly Group has launched a powerful automated time and productivity management
system that offers companies, especially those with large and distributed
staff contingents, immediate cost saving benefits.
Known as K-log, the system has already proved that it can achieve payroll
savings of between 10% and 15%. This saving was proved during its extensive
trial period when K-log was run at the same time as the client`s existing
system and the results were compared. It was found that productive time in
every scenario was overstated by 10% to 15%, which could lead to a similar
percentage in cost saving or productivity improvement.
Grenville Wilson, chief executive, says the system is more than just another
time and attendance tool. "It was developed as a lean and efficient end-to-end
electronic people management system that caters for time and productivity
management, automated timesheet and payroll processing, rostering and
scheduling as well as access control and employee location tracking. In doing
so, it eliminates duplication and non productive administrative work as there
is always only one source of data."
K-log is able to work off any existing clock-in device, meaning that companies
do not need to replace any existing hardware. It can also use various other
interfaces to start measuring productive time including when employees log
into their computers, when employees are talking on the phone (call centre
environment), and when they operate machinery (industrial environment),
allowing companies to specify exactly what should comprise productive time and
pay its employees for that time only.
However, K-log can also supply its own self-sufficient biometric clock-in
units which are not dependent on other equipment or systems. These units have
large memories to enable them to keep recording employee clocking even if the
cellular network is unavailable and they have built in back up power in case
of a black out. In addition, they are portable and can therefore be deployed
anywhere at short notice which is particularly useful in the management and
hosting of events. The biometric fingerprint reader also prevents employees
from ghost or buddy clocking.
"While we already offer a range of value added services from being a managed
service provider to learnership deployment, skills development and online
talent management, we continue to develop new solutions to meet the changing
needs of the world of work. The development of K-log bears testament to this
ongoing commitment and is the latest of many new innovations which we seek to
provide our stakeholders. It shows how we are continually evolving from a
traditional staffing organisation to an organisation that adds value to every
link in the human capital management chain," says Wilson.
"K-log is the glue that brings a company`s operations together by offering one
secure system that seamlessly integrates with its human resources, time and
attendance, security, access control, payroll, procurement, management
information, financial systems, operational systems as well as budgeting and
forecasting."
