THE EFFECTS OF REIMPLEMENTING A BIOMETRIC ATTENDANCE MONITORING SYSTEM IN THE ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AT DON HONORIO VENTURA STATE UNIVERSITY

Monitoring the attendance of staff and employees holds paramount importance in organizational settings. This can be accomplished either manually, using logbooks and daily time records, or automatically through advanced technologies such as radio frequency identification, biometrics, and bar code scanners. Biometrics attendance monitoring systems, in particular, offer a range of benefits, including heightened security, accuracy, convenience, scalability, time efficiency, compliance, and accountability. This research paper elucidates the advantages of the biometric system, examining its impact on the employees of the Electronics Engineering Department at Don Honorio Ventura State University during the 1st Semester of the Academic Year 2023-2024. The Biometrics Attendance System proves to be exceptionally effective and efficient, gaining a consensus of 92% among participants regarding its positive impacts. Ratings consistently hover at 4 or 5 for efficiency, underscoring the streamlined processes. Accessibility earns a positive average score of 80%, and privacy measures receive an equally commendable average score of 82%. While the system generally contributes positively to managing absenteeism, an outlier score of 1 from a participant prompts further investigation. In conclusion, the Biometrics Attendance System excels in effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction, positioning itself as a secure, accurate, and convenient solution. This becomes especially relevant as the Electronics Engineering Department integrates the biometric system, reaping benefits in terms of security, accuracy, and time efficiency. However, it's noteworthy that the implementation of the biometrics attendance system correlates with an increase in faculty absenteeism. Addressing specific concerns identified in the Manual Attendance System could guide targeted improvements for a more comprehensive and satisfactory attendance monitoring system overall.

A NEEDS ASSESSMENT TO EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF A UNIFIED EVALUATION FRAMEWORK FOR DIVERSE JOB SPECIALIZATIONS IN THE JOII WORKSTREAM

This study explores the possibility and potential benefits of creating a standardized evaluation framework for various job specializations within Joii Workstream. Joii Workstream is a business process outsourcing (BPO) company that provides office-based support to the construction industry. This research addresses subjectivity, bias, and inconsistency in performance assessments. The proposed solution is to establish a standard set of criteria for evaluation. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys and interviews with key personnel. The results indicate that there are issues with the current evaluation practices. Although the employees remain neutral, they recognize that there is room for improvement. Challenges and opportunities are associated with implementing a unified framework, particularly regarding the diverse nature of job specializations. While most employees believe in the potential of a unified evaluation framework, they remain neutral about its feasibility. The study recommends a thorough assessment of current practices, transparent communication, stakeholder engagement, and a phased implementation approach to address concerns and enhance the effectiveness of the evaluation framework. Successful implementation is expected to lead to improved organizational efficiency, standardized evaluation criteria, and enhanced transparency in performance expectations. The research provides valuable insights into the broader field of human resource management, serving as a reference for organizations seeking to optimize their performance evaluation processes for diverse job specializations.
