- (1888PressRelease) July 24, 2014 - hfx,a leading provider of flexible working systemshas announced that Renfrewshire Valuation Joint Board (VJB) has chosen its employee time management system to manage flexible working time and security access. RenfrewshireVJB's working policies and adoption of the hfx system enables the organisation to meet the Government's new flexible working legislation, introduced in June 2014. hfx's system enables the organisation to support flexible working practices and provides the management team with accurate individual staff data, including business absence, sickness days, training and holidays for planning. The system is essential for managing a wide variety of work patterns, enabling the organisation to support a more diverse workforce.
As well as to record timekeeping, the organisation uses the staff entry card to controlaccess to the building, to meet the organisation's Public Sector Network (PSN) requirementsto monitor access to secure areas and data. It has introduced a clear desk policy and all work files are now locked away in a secure room with swipe card access that is logged. The cards, which will incorporate photo ID, are required to be worn on display at all times.
"The system supplied by hfxgives us a fantastic management tool for security and flexible working. It has enabled us to implement the new working rules seamlessly, is easy for staff to use and has given us the opportunity to retain experienced staff with new working policies such as flexible retirement." says Alasdair MacTaggart, Assessor at Renfrewshire VJB.
"There are significant security benefits in knowing who is where. Requirements highlighted by a PSN audit have shown us where we need to take control of physical and IT security. With hfx we have now merged this with our working practices and developed a model that can be adopted anywhere that needs to manage a high security environment."
Paski Matarazzo, Business Development Director at hfxsaid; "Renfrewshire VJB demonstrates how flexible working policies can be successfully put into practice when supported by a powerful employee time and access management system. Adopting a system that everyone uses ensures transparency and equality and engenders a climate of trust, resulting in more motivated staff. In addition, recording details of access to confidential data and systems is essential to meet audit requirements."
