It is very likely that in the near future, the use of biometrics in the workplace might change the way we work now. A recent survey conducted by Veridium titled “Biometric Consumer Sentiment Survey” shows that 70% of people in the US, who are experienced in using biometric authentication, positively support the expansion of it in the workplace. Among the participants, 35% think it’s required for the speed, 31% focused on security, and interestingly 33% support biometric authentication for password-less operation.
Use of biometric at the workplace Forever 21, Inc., one of the leading fashion retailers from the US having 700 stores in 48 different countries, is using biometric technology in their stores. They have integrated RightPunch – a PC based biometric time clock from M2SYS Technology with their Kronos workforce management system to secure POS transactions and shift management. Using RigthPunch, they have saved millions of dollars every year by eliminating time theft and buddy punching at their stores. Just like them, many other enterprises in the United States, and other developed countries are starting to use biometric authentication at their workplaces to increase productivity and efficiency eliminating buddy punching and time theft.

There are two easy ways to improve workforce productivity: increase working hours by hiring new employees which increases production, or increase current workforce productivity. Both ways improve productivity, but which one is more efficient?
Recruiting new employees is typical for companies that grow and expand. Fresher employers can also provide previously unknown new ideas and perspectives. However, at some point companies need to think about better capitalizing on the experience level of their current workforce. What is often discovered when evaluating staff experience is that progress remained stagnant because proper procedures were never established that address employee motivation. There are other reasons that serve as reminders to the problems of hiring new employees. Despite the positive vibes of employee recruitment, here are the top issues and concerns about hiring new staff: Finding the right candidateFinding the right candidates can be a big challenge. You need a passionate, skilled, focused employee, but these people aren’t always easy to find. Huge time investmentValuable working hours must be attributed to recruiting new employees.

Based on our 17 years of experience working in the industry, we believe that there are some reasons have driven Togo to go for this biometric ID project. Read more… Kronos
When it comes to workforce management and organization solutions, Kronos is undoubtedly one of the leading software solutions. Many organizations use Kronos to collect real-time employee attendance and punctuality data, putting to use a telephone, a clock, or a self-service portal using which employees can punch in whenever they arrive to work and punch out when they leave. In such a manner, the organization authorities are able to keep a record of the timestamps at which an employee comes and leaves. Unfortunately, there is a downside to using the time punching clock and self-service system with Kronos, and that is that it is extremely easy or employees to simply ask their work friends or colleagues to punch in on their behalf. While it may not seem like that big of an issue, it actually ends up costing companies over 3% of the payroll costs in the long run and may even get them in trouble in terms of compliance and labor laws.

There are several biometric identifiers that are used to identify someone. The most common biometric modalities are fingerprints, finger and palm veins, iris, facial and voice recognition.
Biometric authentication has many applications. It can be used to unlock a device, an app, a service and many more. It is being used in many spaces including governments, organizations, educational institutes, hospitals, banks etc. We use different types of lock systems to secure the devices like smartphone, PC, or services like ATM card. Currently, users have three options for authentication. These include:
The church is one of the most sacred places where millions of people gather to obey their religion. It becomes quite hard for the authorities of churches to maintain a huge amount of visitors day by day. An effective visitor management system for churches is crucial because of many reasons including security, management, cost, convenience etc.
Here we will talk about the most important reasons you need to implement visitor management solution for churches. Automation: Every week, millions of visitors gather in churches to perform their religious duty. There are over 300,000 churches in America and almost 37 million churches around the world. These huge amounts of churches are mostly operated by a traditional visitor management system that isn’t compatible with the system. Manual paper logs for church members have become burdensome as the number of members is increasing day by day. A biometric-based visitor management system can make this process fully automated and fast as it eliminates the all manual data entry processing. Also, with a cloud biometric tool, you can create a digital database of all the church members with in-details information. Security: Security becomes one of the main concerns in churches recently. A report says that over 300 mass shooting has occurred in the US churches in 2017. These fierce amounts of shootings in churches have brought up the questions of the security system in churches.

Needless to say, hospitals require safety and security measures strongly. Despite having so many patients and so much medical data, security concerns are lower at any hospital, which makes it an easy target for possible data breach and or threat to the patients and staffs.
With so many people going in and out all the time it is quite impossible to properly check everyone all the time. In case of an emergency check the patient or the accompanying person cannot be questioned and for obvious reasons. During patient visiting hours, many people come in to visit. All these visitors are let pass without proper identification and registration. Also to properly security check every visitor, it will take a lot of time and people will take it as extra harassment. However, all these factors could pose a serious threat to the hospital and people associated with it. Many hospitals faced some serious issues regarding this. Read more… |
