Workforce Management in the Supermarket and Grocery Industry
Although many do not realise it, grocery stores play an important role in every community. These stores are the trusted and familiar places from which locals purchase everything required to meet their families’ daily needs.
If you are a local grocer, you know that you are instrumental in feeding the community – a responsibility that cannot be taken lightly. You also know how important it is to monitor your employees – the people who directly interact with the community you serve, on your behalf. After all, grocery store success depends on happy workers keeping customers happy!
Synel UK has built a cloud-based system just for your needs, to help you stay fully aware of employee headcount in each department and each store (if you have more than one store in your department store chain). Despite the challenges posed by the volume of staff, complex shift patterns and compound labour laws that apply to the grocery space, our time and attendance systems facilitate efficient workforce management.
Here’s how! Synel’s solution offers:
- Biometric attendance devices for easy, accurate recording of attendance
- Alert-based assistance for overtime management of hourly employees, proven to reduce unauthorised overtime and cut down expenses by 20% on average
- Real-time meal and break-time compliance management
- Easy management of time-off and vacation requests, ensuring your store stays covered throughout the year
- Budget alerts for alignment of employee schedules and related expenses
- Employee lock-out feature for complete control over employee entry and exit
- Security features that mitigate incidence of theft
