Innovation isn't just an option; it's woven into the fabric of Job&Talent's DNA. In our Q1 Innovation Update, we'll walk you through the most relevant features and improvements we've rolled out over the past three months - covering both our app for companies and our app for workers:

• We’ve added geo-location functionality to our workers app, sending them a notification to clock in once they arrive at their work location. With precise and timely clocking data, we can offer real-time data insights to companies about attendance.
• We recently revamped our shift overview for companies. For each shift, we’re now giving them everything they need at a glance, showing how many people are required for a shift, have been assigned to work, have confirmed in advance that they’ll attend, and are currently working based on live clockings.
• We introduced a new statistics feature which provides companies with real-time insights into attendance data with unprecedented granularity, down to hourly updates. This empowers shift managers to track no-shows easily, access historical absence records, and proactively mitigate productivity dips.?
