We are excited to introduce a new enhancement to the Humanforce Work App: the Clocking Widget.

For frontline employees, every second at the start and end of a shift matters. For many, navigating through a mobile app to find the clocking screen is a small but common inconvenience to what should be the simplest part of the working day. At the same time, a lack of immediate visibility into upcoming shifts contributes to late arrivals and missed start times: a persistent challenge for managers of shift-based, distributed workforces.

This is why we've built our Clocking Widget, the small Humanforce mobile home screen shortcut to getting critical shift-based information and functions employees need without having to open the app.  

Let's dive in...

🔥 What's New

Designed to be fast, reliable, and deliver a seamless mobile experience available across iOS and Android in Work app, here’s what the powerful clocking widget delivers at the fingertips of every employee: 

• One-tap clocking – A single tap on the widget launches the Work App and executes the clocking action instantly, no navigation, no extra steps.
• Live shift countdown and elapsed timer – A real-time countdown to the next rostered shift switches automatically to an elapsed timer once the employee is clocked in.
• State and permission-locked functions – The widget displays only the actions each employee is permitted to take, dynamically adapting to their current shift state and individual clocking permissions.
• Customise size – Choose between a small informational widget for a quick shift status glance, or a medium widget with full interactive clocking buttons.

⭐ Why it Matters

The Humanforce Clocking Widget improves users' lives and delivers better organisational outcomes by enhancing attendance, compliance, and the user experience, saving people time whilst delivering a better experience.

• Drive better attendance – Persistent home-screen shift countdowns and "Running Late" alerts keep start times front of mind, reducing late arrivals and no-shows.
• Increase compliance – Permission-aware buttons enforce clocking rules automatically at the widget level, eliminating non-compliant clock-ins without any additional training.
• Seamless clocking experience – Employees go from the home screen to clocked in with a single tap, eliminating unnecessary steps from the most repeated action of their working day.
• Schedule clarity – Live shift countdowns and elapsed timers give every employee instant, always-visible awareness of when their shift starts and how long they have been working.
