Smartphone applications enhance workplace management and save businesses time and money. With 77% of North Americans using smartphones, and 1 in 5 adults accessing the internet exclusively on smartphones, now is the time for your organization to be at the forefront of this emerging digital trend.
There are a number of clear benefits when it comes to implementing mobile technologies in the workplace. Companies that are more profitable than their competitors are more likely to use mobile apps and to introduce measures such as comprehensive training to facilitate app adoption, according to the 2015 Accenture Mobility Research report.
What is the ME smartphone app?
ME is a workforce management application that’s compatible with iOS and Android devices. It enables staff to remotely access their schedule and calendar, monitor their performance, apply for time off, and swap shifts.
Sick leave, work schedules and shift swaps become easier when done through the ME smartphone application.ME can help your organization increase efficiency and profitability by:
- Improving employee engagement
ME’s Schedule View function enables staff to interact with each other and their employers. Whether they’re on the bus to work in the morning, or sitting in the doctor’s waiting room they can easily access their work schedule on the go.
- Reducing HR expenditure
There’s no need to schedule a meeting with HR or to fill out a lengthy form. If an employee wants to book time off or swap a shift, they can do so at the touch of a button. ME’s Leave Request function enables staff to ask for annual leave and to receive feedback via notifications. They can also view the status of a request using the Request Viewer function.
With ME, staff can organize shift-swaps without needing to make a phone call or be on site.- Improving compliance and productivity
Employees can track their performance with the Agent Productivity function. This enables staff to pinpoint potential areas for improvement, check their productivity statistics and monitor hours worked.
