The new attendance system will give employees the freedom of attendance through facial recognition, thereby eliminating the need of the traditional identification cards and other tedious login processes. Besides registering attendance, the facial recognition system comes equipped with a Moodometer which will also help gauge the overall sentiment of the organization through the collective facial expressions captured.

Facial Recognition Attendance System

TechMNxt is Tech Mahindra’s response to the future with a focus on core technology areas, like AI, Blockchain, Cybersecurity and AI-infused IOT solutions, 5G- Network of the Future. The Facial Recognition Attendance System is in line with the TechMNxt charter and leverages next-gen technologies like Artificial Intelligence to register the attendance of employees through a simple three-step process - share consent, take sample pictures and start clocking in with a smile.

How does Digital Attendance work?

The Facial Recognition Attendance System matches the images captured with the complete database of the person concerned and registers the attendance. The images captured are converted to text and deleted automatically. With a click, one can switch on or switch off from facial recognition and the data is deleted automatically with confirmation sent to the associate as well.

The engagement data at the aggregate level of location is completely anonymous and handled only by the HR Team for improving the associate experience at work. With the Facial Recognition system, the login and logout update in the timesheet is reduced drastically. Besides, the Moodometer helps gauge the overall sentiment of the organization through the collective facial expressions captured at respective locations.
