HAVIS 360 IN BRIEF.  

Havis 360 - is a suite of business applications that has identified the challenges of organizations in various industries and addresses these challenges by taking on a digital approach to deliver an array of intelligent applications that drive simplicity, security, and efficiency within an organization. These applications range from a visitor management solution (V-login) to a staff time and attendance solution (STAAS) used in an everyday business environment to ensure accuracy and security  

STAAS – To address an organization’s need for an easy, accurate, and automated sign-in system for staff, STAAS – Havis 360’s Time and Attendance solution is ideal to help organizations achieve this.  

Staff time and attendance management is the method used by organizations to track the hours that employees spend on the job. In the past, organizations used book registers to keep a record of the sign-in and sign-out time of staff. However, this method has been ruled ineffective by most employers as employees tend to take advantage of this simple sign-in system by putting down incorrect time logs and signing in on behalf of a colleague that is not within the office premises. This has prompted the need for a more accurate method of tracking employee attendance.

Also, to catch up with the new norm of hybrid working conditions (In Person and remote working) there is still a need to capture attendance of remote workers and simplify the sign-in process of in-person workers while complying to covid-19 precautionary measures.

STAAS is a digital time and attendance solution designed to optimize the method used by organizations in keeping track of employee attendance. It takes record of the time and location a staff comes into the organization, time and location in cases of remote workers, and the time the staff leaves the organization or signs out of work daily, while keeping track of late employees. Hence, eliminating the inappropriate behaviour of staff experienced while using the traditional book registers.

Several motivations are pushing organizations to consider the adoption of a time and attendance solution. We have seen that this motivation emanates from the need for a more accurate means of tracking employee attendance and a faster, seamless sign-in process.

STAAS ensures employee compliance and identify conscientious employees. Information is central to every element of the modern business, and this solution lay no exception.  

BASIC COMPONENT OF STAAS.  

STAAS POWER APP: – STAAS is a power application i.e., built using the Microsoft Power Platform, and is hosted on the Microsoft Teams Application store. It is a solution that leverages your existing Office 365 platform making it accessible to your users from anywhere at any given time and from any browser.  

ANALYTIC DASHBOARD: – STAAS has an inbuilt analytics Admin / HR dashboard that lets you analyse, visualize report. The reports show a graphical illustration of the punctuality patterns and compliance of staff to organization rules. This helps the HR to make informed decisions and identify conscientious employees.
 

KEY FEATURES OF STAAS .  

ACTIVE DIRECTORY INTEGRATION: – STAAS integrates with Active Directory for easy import of employee information. Importing the information of employees from Active Directory, hastens and simplifies the process of registering employees. STAAS also integrates with email applications for employees to receive details of their clock in; and this is to be used as an employee’s backup in the event of a conflict.  

STAFF SIGN-IN AND SIGN-OUT: – The staff logs into the application and uses the Check-In button to sign in and can sign out using the Check-Out button. Also, employees who sign in late are able to select a reason for checking in late from the drop-down options or state their reason using the other feature.

AUTO SIGN-OUT: – Every staff is expected to sign out at the end of the work period but if this is not done, there is the auto sign-out feature that automatically signs out all signed in users by 11:59 pm every day.  

ATTENDANCE NOTIFICATION: – The HR gets notified via email when an employee is yet to clock in for the day. This makes the HR’s job easier in spotting those that did not show up to the office or sign in for the day without an official excuse or an official exemption.  

ADMINISTRATIVE DASHBOARD: – The HR personal or Admin of the STAAS application has an administrative dashboard where he/she can be able to view the number of staff signed in, late staff, employees on leave and signed out staff  

GEO-LOCATION AND TIME: – The time and location from which an employee signs in and / or signs out is captured on the application daily which promotes transparency and improves employee compliance to organization rules  

LEAVE TIME-OUT: – STAAS has a feature that makes provision for employees who are on leave. A user states his / her leave period which is captured by the application and in turn exempts such employee from getting notifications for failure to sign in for the period of the leave.

SIGN-IN AND SIGN-OUT NOTIFICATION:- The employee gets a notification after sign-in is done. When a user fails to sign in before 12 noon, a notification is sent to the user to send a mail to the HR stating the reasons for not signing in and should immediately sign in. Also, a sign out notification is sent when an employee signs out for the day, and if sign out is not done.  

TIME AND DETAILED REPORT GENERATION: – Easily create weekly, monthly, or yearly- based reports for employee punctuality evaluation. These reports help the HR to have a reference system for those that take lateness or absence excuses and enables the HR to make useful decisions for those that do not. The reports can also be graphically represented allowing for quick and easy visual communication.  

LEAVE TIME-OUT: – STAAS has a feature that makes provision for employees who are on leave. A user states his / her leave period which is captured by the application and in turn exempts such employee from getting notifications for failure to sign in for the period of the leave.
