With the timeCard and our systems for recording working time, the first thing you think of is the overview of hours worked. This is also the core element of the timeCard. But did you know that you can also increase employee satisfaction by recording working hours?
How is employee satisfaction measured?
Employee satisfaction is an important factor in any company. After all, your employees are not just a resource that can be easily replaced. Skilled workers and qualified employees in particular cannot simply be found on the street. Satisfied employees are therefore crucial for success, as they will remain loyal to a company in the long term. Not to be underestimated is the reputation that a company gains through satisfied employees. Satisfaction gets around and makes a company interesting for employees. Employee satisfaction is often determined through employee surveys using a questionnaire. Every company wants to do well. The time recording of the timecard can help with this.
How correct working time recording increases employee satisfaction
Working time recording is variable. This means that there is no need to specify fixed times that employees have to adhere to. Instead, all times can be recorded individually. This can lead to the problem of confusion in companies. In the worst case, working time recording is therefore neither completely transparent nor consistently trustworthy. The timecard solves this problem with its wide range of options for recording working time. Transparent time recording increases employee satisfaction. All employees can see at a glance how many hours they have worked. Even the different projects they are involved in can be recorded separately. This is also a good approach to increasing employee satisfaction: employees are different. Some want to focus on one area of tasks as much as possible, others want to vary as much as possible in their job. Find out which type of employee you have and design the tasks accordingly, either very rigid or extremely varied. A mixture is also possible and you can easily distribute tasks and projects individually in a way that makes sense for your employees.

Overtime is still a major problem when it comes to recording working hours. Many companies lack suitable systems to record overtime correctly and completely. As a result, employees work numerous hours of overtime each year without being paid for it. In fact, an average of more than 3 hours of overtime are worked per employee per week in Germany. That’s over 150 hours of overtime per year. If this is not recorded correctly, employees are deprived of a great deal of pay. Proper time recording of overtime can therefore work wonders for employee satisfaction. The start and end of shifts, breaks and overtime are recorded to the second and can be viewed in full. Transparent working time recording, which correctly records all working time, can make the difference between satisfied employees and exhausted employees. But not only employees should be satisfied. Employers are obliged to record working hours accurately. This can become unnecessarily complicated. That’s why a simple but comprehensive working time recording system makes sense for every company. The timecard tries to close this gap in the best possible way. After all, as a good employer, you should always set a good example yourself. If the employer is satisfied, it is easier to gather satisfied employees in the company. And then everyone wins in the end, without the need to measure satisfaction at all.
Conclusion
Employee satisfaction depends on several factors, which are often very individual. That is why it is not so easy to establish a basic level of satisfaction within the company. Proper and transparent recording of working hours can have a positive effect on satisfaction. Especially when both employers and employees benefit from it.
