Plain-language definitions of the terms that come up when running a team — from HRMS to worklogs.
Attendance tracking is the practice of recording when employees start and end work, and how many hours they work. Attendance tracking software captures check-ins and check-outs and summarizes them for managers.
Employee onboarding is the process of integrating a new hire into an organization — setting up their profile, access, role, and the information they need to become productive. Onboarding software makes these steps consistent and repeatable.
An HRMS (Human Resource Management System) is software that centralizes how an organization manages its employees — including profiles, attendance, leave, performance, and other people operations — in a single system.
Leave management is the process of handling employee time-off requests, approvals, balances, and history. Leave management software automates this workflow so employees can request leave and managers can approve it without manual tracking.
Employee performance tracking is the ongoing process of measuring how employees are performing against goals and expectations, using KPIs, evaluations, and feedback. Done well, it relies on real work data rather than memory.
A worklog is a record of the work an employee completed during a day or on a specific task. Collected over time, worklogs create a timeline of activity that gives managers visibility into what the team is working on.
