School administrators have a tough job; there are so many people, resources and systems working alongside one another to keep a school running smoothly. Ensuring your school runs efficiently and effectively means investing in the right tools and resources to simplify and streamline your processes.
Attendance is crucial to education, as education can’t take place without teacher attendance, so it’s important for the education industry to have a simple and reliable way to record time and attendance. With many schools already lean on resources and continuing to face demand for reduced costs and increased performance, a time and attendance solution also allows schools to have control over labour costs and improve staff attendance and productivity.
