"Content marketing is most of what marketing organizations in top firms do, so everyone should be paying attention to how it works."

"Total Workforce Management 2013: Scheduling" and "Total Workforce Management 2013: Time and Attendance," written by Mollie Lombardi, Vice President and Principal Analyst in Aberdeen's Human Capital Management (HCM) practice, and Zach Lahey, Senior Research Associate in Aberdeen's HCM practice are the first two parts of a four-document series addressing critical workforce management issues, and delve into trends influencing time and attendance, and scheduling, as well as how they interact with other facets of workforce management. To help decrease the workload for management, an increasing number of companies have sought out automated approaches to scheduling. In fact, more than half (58%) of organizations use automation to drive their scheduling process using scheduling tools as part of their integrated workforce management suite.
Comparatively, tracking and recording time and attendance of employees can be a headache for management unless the right structure, technologies, and tools are implemented. As with scheduling, automation improves the efficiency and effectiveness of companies' time and attendance. However, more companies automate time and attendance than scheduling, thus easing some of the burden on management. Both reports provide an in-depth look at the work, time, and commitment necessary to adopt time and attendance, and scheduling, workforce management processes, as well as the automation approaches used to ease the process.
