In today’s fast-paced and increasingly remote work environment, knowing where your employees are during working hours isn’t just a matter of oversight—it’s a matter of operational efficiency, compliance, and resource optimization. That’s why PeopleHR India is proud to introduce a Real-Time Location Tracking feature for HRs and Admins, providing companies with unprecedented visibility and control over their workforce.
What is Real-Time Location Tracking in PeopleHR India?
The new feature allows HR/Admins to track the real-time location of employees directly from their PeopleHR dashboard. With this tool, organizations can now visualize workforce movement on an interactive map view, or export location logs in Excel format—whether for daily or monthly reviews.
Tracking can be configured with high flexibility:
- Company-wide tracking: Monitor all employees in real time.
- Department-level tracking: Focus on specific teams such as Sales, Field Support, or Logistics.
- Employee-specific tracking: Track selected individuals based on job roles or responsibilities.
- Exclusion control: Opt certain employees out of location tracking (e.g., top management, back-office staff, etc.).
This ensures customizable tracking policies that adapt to your organization’s privacy norms and operational needs.
Why Do Organizations Need Real-Time Location Tracking?
Real-time location tracking isn’t just a surveillance tool—it’s a strategic feature with numerous benefits for both the organization and employees. Here’s why this is becoming a must-have:
