When an organization is growing, it needs to start putting together discipline around when workers come in and go and how long they work. Almost every organization’s journey from a small organization to a mid-sized to a large organization has a similar story. From logging attendance with pen and paper to highly evolved biometric attendance systems, these systems introduce discipline in the way an organization operates and functions.
