Major HR Challenges of the Industry

To keep on generating leads and retain their customers, it was essential for the retail industry to reduce the burden and time consumption of HR tasks on their workforce. Listed below are the most prominent challenges the sector faced in the role of HR.

Unplanned/unexpected absence of the employees

The industry used to handle/store employees’ leaves manually in papers or spreadsheets, and so it was challenging for managers to control any unexpected leaves taken by employees. It was tiresome and time-consuming to plan the tasks with fewer workers present.

Manage Attendance Manually

The employees working under different departments in any retail company have different salary and attendance cycles. These also change with different categories, grades, and shifts of all the employees. Due to this, HR and even managers had to give a considerable amount of time maintaining employees’ attendance due to varied cycles and working hours.

Monitoring Employees’ Presence

Employees often travel off-site or visit different office locations. It was difficult for employees to mark their attendance and even for the managers to monitor if those employees are actually present. Employees needed to share their attendance data through courier or emails, which was again time-consuming and cumbersome.
