Refitting your business premises? Time to reconsider your time and attendance systems
Have you decided that your business premises are due for a refit, either to improve productivity or because they’re simply not fit for purposes anymore? This is also the best possible time to review (and possibly change or upgrade) your time and attendance, access control and workforce management systems.
This has recently been the case at Northumberland-headquartered iced drinks supplier Polar Krush, who has completed work on a £1m factory refit.
The new facility has been designed to help the workforce increase their output by 500 per cent. Its automated factory line is powered by 212 solar panels, with the wider site comprising a colourful, well-lit interior.
Polar Krush’s investment comes on the back of both its rapid growth over the past twelve months and a move to make its products completely sugar free.
Founder Paul Goldfinch said: "At Polar Krush, our staff are our greatest asset and improvements to the factory floor and rest areas allow them to have a much better working environment. From filling boxes, collating and palletising; we are now all fully automated.
"As well as allowing us to increase our output and productivity dramatically, our factory revamp also allows us to upskill and retrain our staff, ensuring that we are giving them the best possible footing for their careers."
Every firm planning to refit their business premises should also consider implementing a solid, reliable and flexible workforce optimization system, and this is specifically where Time & Attendance – North East might be able to put its extensive experience to very good use.
