With employees returning to the workplace, businesses must make changes to their regular operations to ensure employee safety. MiHCM, the leading technology company specialising in human resource (HR) platforms, is committed to offering the most complete and timely HR solutions to a global enterprise clientele with their MiHCM cloud HR platform. 

The company unveiled a new facial recognition facility for MiHCM Mobile to help businesses create safe and secure work environments. MiHCM is the first complete mobile HCM app across several South East Asian markets to offer a fully-fledged Time Attendance system with a host of time tracking features including facial recognition, geofencing, geo-tagging capabilities and comprehensive HR services all in one app.  

MiHCM Mobile’s new facial recognition facility will allow businesses to track employee check-in and check-out through a contactless attendance system to support remote workforces and COVID-19 prevention measures at the workplace. 

With the inclusion of facial recognition capability, the MiHCM time attendance module is now presenting an inclusive experience to companies with the biometric facility to check-in/out, geofencing, geo-tagging in addition to the essential attendance and leave functionality namely; leave, timesheet, time change, overtime requests submissions and all related approvals.  

“We are continuously innovating and updating our products to deliver the best employee experience for all our customers,” said MiHCM Founder and CEO Harsha Purasinghe. “As businesses around the world implement safety practices to combat COVID-19, facial recognition technology will be imperative to ensure employee safety while accurately capturing workforce attendance. By eliminating the need to physically contact the attendance capturing devices, we hope that MiHCM Mobile App will help businesses immensely during this period.”

MiHCM Mobile is designed to run with or without the MiHCM HR platform. Therefore, any business can make use of this mobile face recognition enabled check IN/OUT capability integrating to their respective HR system. Also, it is seamlessly integrated to work alongside MiHCM Cloud Digital HR, a platform that offers end-to-end operational and talent management HR functions while leveraging advanced analytics and natural language query functionalities to provide talent insights for timely and accurate decision-making. The combination of both platforms consolidates employees into one centralised system, creating an automated attendance management process that is efficient and completely touchless.
