Introducing a new employee attendance tracker to the workplace may not be welcomed with open arms, especially in the least digitized industries like construction.
It’s important to know the following reasons that might prevent them from adopting new technology and plan ways to overcome them accordingly.
Technology barriers: Learning new technology takes time, so choosing an attendance tracker with a user-friendly interface can help ensure non-tech-savvy workers can use the app immediately.
Resistance to change: Switching to an automated attendance tracking system from a paper-based timesheet method requires many adjustments. Communicate clearly the reasons behind the change and make sure everyone is on the same page regarding the benefits it can bring to the company in the long run.
Privacy concerns: Many attendance trackers have time and location tracking elements that may be perceived as too intrusive by construction company workers. Explain the measures the company takes to ensure data privacy and address all their concerns to improve employee compliance.
