Workopolo in remote working

With working from home becoming the new normal, it has become important for organisations to utilize a tool or digital platform to measure an organisation's performance and productivity. From an organisational perspective, with the pandemic still ongoing, a monitoring system that eradicates the need for employees to be in the same space keeping the health factors and risks in mind has been crucial. While the businesses are actively exploring for a solution to manage the situation, B-Trac Solutions launched Workopolo back in 2018, which is an effective tool for managing remote or virtual workplace by use of this platform.

M Tanvir Siddique, Head of Operations at BTrac Solutions Ltd., said, "Organisations can use Workopolo to effectively manage their teams remotely by using different features of it where workforces can create individual or group activity, assign tasks, submit remote attendance, give weekly ratings, provide feedbacks, and can synch phone calendar to get proactive notifications.

He also added "while the nationwide lockdown started and we all started working from home for the very first time, we didn't find it much difficult since we were already using Workopolo in our own organisation to ensure and monitor the employee work activity of the whole Bangla Trac Group. Around 800 plus people of our organization and more than 400 people from different organizations used Workopolo during this time and still using. This remote employee management app can be used for any sort of organization by downloading it on any smartphone and administration from any computer."

By getting associated with Workopolo, the company can easily keep track of employees' tasks, duties, and performance with the appropriate employee monitoring technology. Workopolo is the ideal tool for running your own business, leading a division or department, or even managing and reporting your own tasks. It is a one-stop solution that has all the necessary tools and integrations to welcome the future of remote working.

So, let's have a look at the features

Remote Attendance: It is a geotagged attendance feature where the supervisor can monitor from which exact location a team member is recording his or her attendance and the app proactively notifies the designated supervisor in case the attendance request comes from a location where the employee isn't authorized to work from. Users can also ask for attendance approval from an offsite location through the app.

Scheduling & Activity Reporting: Both supervisors and their team members can schedule and report day-to-day activities on the platform which eventually converts into a timesheet for individual employee, department, division and the entire organization.

Check-in / Check-out: Users can check-in and check-out respectively before and after attending a meeting/customer visit/service call - be it pre-scheduled or unscheduled.

Movement Log: The app automatically generates movement log of any team member based on their activity reporting to ensure security and time efficiency alongside their last active online status.

Task Management: Employees can create tasks and breakdown their own tasks with subtasks. Besides, they can also assign tasks to other employees within the team and subsequently report and track progress of the task.

Customer List: Workopolo maintains the list of customers with their details including addresses, locations, contact point etc. which is considered to be an indispensable asset for any organization. New and potential customers can also be added to the database upon approval from designated supervisor.

Forms & Documents: Important forms and documents can be stored within the app for use by the employees on the go.

Notice Board: A digital and effective notice board notifies every team member about relevant organizational updates. Notices can be circulated real time within the team, department, and division or among the entire organisation by a single click from the administration panel.

Weekly Rating: Supervisors can rate their team members on a weekly basis based on their performance. This works as a reconciliation tool for annual performance evaluation and appraisal of both the supervisors and individual employees.
