Recruitment vs increasing employee productivity: Which one is better?

There are two easy ways to improve workforce productivity: increase working hours by hiring new employees which increases production, or increase current workforce productivity. Both ways improve productivity, but which one is more efficient?

Recruiting new employees is typical for companies that grow and expand. Fresher employers can also provide previously unknown new ideas and perspectives.

However, at some point companies need to think about better capitalizing on the experience level of their current workforce. What is often discovered when evaluating staff experience is that progress remained stagnant because proper procedures were never established that address employee motivation.

There are other reasons that serve as reminders to the problems of hiring new employees. Despite the positive vibes of employee recruitment, here are the top issues and concerns about hiring new staff:

Finding the right candidate

Finding the right candidates can be a big challenge. You need a passionate, skilled, focused employee, but these people aren’t always easy to find.

Huge time investment

Valuable working hours must be attributed to recruiting new employees. The choice is either to contact a recruiting agency or have an internal HR team to take care of it. Either way, there is still a need to expense many hours for preparing and training new employees.

Finger Vein Biometrics Identification for Membership Management Software

An article published today in the University of Vermont’s campus newspaper The Vermont Cynic reported that the campus recreation center has adopted M2SYS finger vein technology for student member identification. Tim Lewis, associate director for campus recreation made the decision to use finger vein biometrics for member identification after brainstorming ideas on how to eliminate students carrying ID cards. Happy to see our finger vein biometric identification system used at the University of Vermont through a partnership we have with Vermont Systems, a recreation and parks software provider based in Essex Junction, VT. Modern-day membership management software is designed to help create efficiencies that antiquated methods simply can’t provide. In an effort to eliminate ID cards, prevent identity fraud, and create a more convenient user experience, many membership management facilities are evaluating vascular biometrics (finger vein) for identification because of the distinct ...

Iris Recognition vs. Retina Scanning – What are the Differences?

In biometrics, iris and retinal scanning are known as “ocular-based” identification technologies, meaning they rely on unique physiological characteristics of the eye to identify an individual. Even though they both share part of the eye for identification purposes, these biometric modalities are quite different in how they work. Let’s take a closer look at both and then explain the similarities and differences in detail: Retinal Scanning: The human retina is a thin tissue composed of neural cells that are located in the posterior portion of the eye. Because of the complex structure of the capillaries that supply the retina with blood, each person’s retina is unique. The network of blood vessels in the retina is so complex that even identical twins do not share a similar pattern. Although retinal patterns may be altered in cases of diabetes, glaucoma or retinal degenerative disorders, the retina typically remains unchanged from birth until death. (Source: Wikipedia) ...

False Rejection Rate – What Does It Mean And Why Should I Care?

False reject rate is a statistic used to measure biometric performance when operating in the verification task and it usually calculated as the percentage of times the system produces a false reject. A false reject occurs when an individual is not matched to their own existing biometric template. For example: John claims to be John, but the system incorrectly denies the verification. This can be particularly frustrating for an end user who knows that they are enrolled in the system and should be recognized and verified, but for some reason the system is incorrectly rejecting their scan. This can cause unnecessary logjams, affect service, frustrate staff and negatively impact productivity.
