In business, trust is the bedrock of a strong and productive relationship between employers and employees. Employees who feel appreciated and respected are more likely to stay motivated, engaged, and committed to their tasks.
One key aspect of fostering trust is transparency in attendance tracking. This article explores how Fareclock builds transparency and trust with employees and ultimately improves overall productivity and employee engagement.
How does transparency in attendance tracking build trust?
Transparency goes beyond simply knowing what is expected of employees at work. It encompasses open communication, access to information, and a sense of control over one’s professional life. When it comes to attendance tracking, transparency means making employees feel comfortable and empowered in terms of how they manage their time.
There are several ways transparency in Fareclock builds trust:
- Empowerment – Tracking employees’ hours worked will help them anticipate future time off needs and enable them to manage their time effectively.
- Reduced stress – Having a clear understanding of their attendance status reduces employee stress and anxiety about potential discrepancies or misunderstandings.
- Accountability – Transparency fosters accountability and encourages employees to take ownership of their time management. For example, on the Fareclock platform, employees can be left responsible for tracking their own hours and requesting time off through proper channels. In addition, custom employee attendance reports can be provided to pertinent members of the organization to ensure that all clocked hours are accounted for.
Driving success through transparency
Transparency extends beyond information access — it encompasses clear and open communication. A workplace with clear and open communication nurtures trust and promotes a spirit of collaboration, creating a more productive workplace for everybody.
Here’s how transparent communication around attendance benefits businesses:
- Improved productivity – Transparent communication regarding attendance policies and expectations eliminates confusion, helps all members of the organization prepare for heavy workloads, and ensures that the most critical tasks are completed within schedule.
- Reduced conflict – Ambiguity can lead to misunderstandings and conflict. When policies and procedures are clearly communicated, it reduces the potential for issues related to attendance.
How does Fareclock promote transparency on its platform?
Fareclock offers a mobile app that provides employees with real-time access to key information related to their attendance and work schedule. Some of the app’s key features that promote transparency include:

- Time off accruals – Employees can easily track their available time off accruals within the app. As a result, they can easily plan their vacation time and leave requests with greater confidence.
- Schedule visibility – Using the app, employees can check their upcoming schedules at any time. Having full visibility into their work schedule minimizes uncertainty and promotes better organization for personal time management.
- Approved leave request view – Fareclock allows employees to view their approved leave requests within the app. This eliminates the need for follow-up inquiries and provides confirmation, leading to a smoother and more efficient process.
