5 Benefits of eTracking

Traditional tracking and upkeep of employee records can be a huge burden. Storing physical copies of records takes a tremendous amount of time and effort, and it takes almost just as much time to sift through the records to find the information you need. If any of the information happens to be misfiled, then your work is multiplied exponentially!

eTracking, on the other hand, is an online alternative that can alleviate the burdens of offline record keeping.

1. Easy and automatic file management

With an eTracking system, you no longer have to file new employee records in file cabinets. Once you register a new employee in your system, all of their records will be automatically updated with any new information, such as recently completed training programs.

2. Significant decrease in time spent retrieving records

If you move your records into an online environment, finding the information you need is as simple as using a search engine. You’ll be able to type in the information (such as employee name) you’re looking for, and instantly receive your desired results.

3. Automatic grading of tests and quizzes

Many training sessions require assessments to ensure employees’ understanding of the material. One time-consuming task associated with this is grading the tests. With an eTracking system, the grading happens instantaneously, with no extra work required.

4. Automatic updates on employee training needs

If your organization requires training to be kept up-to-date, and retaken by employees every 1-2 years, or sooner, you’ll need to keep track of the status of every individual employee. An eTracking system can be set up to give you updates whenever an employee’s training is soon to expire, so you can be sure your employees continue to satisfy every training requirement.

5. Instant generation of reports

With a traditional tracking system involving physical copies of records and filing systems, it’s often extremely difficult to get an overall report for your employee’s status. Through eTracking, it’s possible to instantly generate a report for all your employees, to give you a quick, up-to-date look at employee training status, test scores, and more.

For someone who manages a number of employees, the amount of time saved by an eTracking system is truly substantial. With online environments increasing in popularity, reach, and capability, considering online alternatives is the instrumental first step in increasing your organization’s overall efficiency.
