This Startup Presents Corporate Attendance Management When WFH

The existence of technology then becomes one of the supports for the sustainability of business productivity and operations. Not long ago, Talenta by Mekari released a mobile-based application that put forward a practical and easy-to-use employee attendance management solution called Attendance by Talenta.

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) began actively calling for a new WFH policy to the public, especially in Jakarta. Directly, Jokowi suggested that the community must postpone all activities, including working outside the home and replacing them inside the house to prevent the spread of Coronavirus or known as social distancing.

The central and regional governments have now made active calls to limit the social interaction of the people related to the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Some areas have closed schools, closed access to tourist attractions and public facilities, restricted public transportation passengers, to encourage business owners to apply for work from home to employees.

Work from home itself is not new in Indonesian society, although technology company employees, startups and agencies are usually more familiar with this system.

While in several other industrial sectors, there are still limitations in the implementation of work from homework systems, so HR in the midst of these conditions need time to formulate the best strategy for companies to implement work from home but also ensure that employee productivity remains measurable.
