Is there any planned update for the time tracking widget on the homepage?

In the current (new) manual time tracking widget, there is no option to select a project. This causes a challenge for our HR data monitoring because we use the project function to differentiate between office and remote work (with remote work being tracked as one ‘project’). Without this option, our ability to accurately monitor remote work is compromised.

Despite this limitation, having quick access to the time tracking widget on the homepage is essential, as it prevents the need for employees to navigate to the attendance calendar. Therefore, adding a project selection feature would enhance the usability of the current widget without sacrificing convenience.

Even better, could a direct option be included in the time tracking widget for employees to select whether they are working from the office or remotely? This change would streamline the process and improve data accuracy.

ote: Our employees work 40-80% remotely, and we found the absence type "remote work" not suitable for us, as everyone felt it was confusing since remote work has always been tracked equally as office work and using absence was too confusing for employees..

Hi @janettm 

 

This is a very useful feedback! 😊

I completely understand your concern, and I have forwarded it internally as a suggestion for improvement. Please note that, unfortunately, I cannot provide any details on whether or when a corresponding feature will be implemented. However, if there is an update in this area, you will be informed through our Personio Product Updates or via an in-app notification.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hi @janettm,
As one of the product managers for our time management product, I wanted to let you know that with the help of time tracking profiles, it is now possible to specify which time tracking widget time tracking employees see on their dashboard:

  1. The time clock widget or
  2. The widget for manually entering start/end times and break times.

If you want all time-tracking employees to see the widget for manually entering times, you can simply change the standard time-tracking profile accordingly.

If you have different groups of employees and you want some to see the time clock and others the widget for manual time entry, you can assign a time entry profile for clocking in to some and a profile for manual entry via the employee list to others.

Please note: The widgets still don’t support tracking of work location (office vs remote) or project tracking.

We plan to improve the way hybrid working is managed with Personio and will share product updates when we’re further along with these improvements.

We will improve project tracking through providing project search and recent projects in an upcoming release (September) which will replace the current Attendance Calendar with a new Timesheet experience.
