The unprecedented switch to remote working at a greater pace has accelerated the adoption of IoT-enabled workforce management tools because of the hassle-free connectivity, seamless interoperability, well-informed decision-making, and the smart work environments they provide.

The Impact of IoT on Human Resource

Improves Productivity and Safety

Integrating IoT technology can help connect devices to exchange information, find things accurately and keep people informed about the directions; all these can ultimately enrich employee productivity levels. Connected workstations that work with the help of IoT can also enhance tracking, managing, and controlling various operations with minimum human efforts is one of the major benefits of IoT.

Also, IoT-enabled sensors can monitor huge outdoor worksites and track worksite conditions in real time, thus improving employee security and saving their lives.

Automate Payroll Process

IoT sensors can easily track employee attendance which enables tracking employee payroll accurately. It can track employee total work hours and absenteeism accurately. Organizations can use RFID tags with sensors attached to their identity cards to accurately track employee attendance. Total work hours and absenteeism can be tracked error-free; thus, employee payrolls can be generated automatically.

Foster Employee Collaboration

In the pandemic-stricken era, many organizations are already working in hybrid environments. In these scenarios, workforce collaboration can be enhanced with the help of IoT-enabled collaboration platforms. Employees can communicate and collaborate effectively with the help of these IoT platforms.

Optimize Resources

With the use of IoT-enabled sensors, every equipment, device, machinery, etc., can be connected to a single network. Resource usage can be easily tracked, and usage can be controlled using resources. Using the data gathered from the sensors, resource utilization can be reduced and can enable to make the most out of resources.

Gather Real-Time Feedback

It is challenging for the HR teams to get honest feedback. Even that kind of employee response is often collected through paying attention to non-verbal communication, asking for reviews from multiple employees, etc.
Honest feedback is crucial for the organization to take initiatives beneficial for the organization. With the integration of IoT devices, HR teams can have less burden to gather personal employee feedback. Cameras can capture the real image of employees during meetings; thus, HR teams can easily understand the satisfaction level of employees.

Summing Up
