Employee incident types and ratings play a pivotal role in maintaining a safe and productive work environment. They provide a structured system for categorizing and evaluating various incidents and behaviors that occur in the workplace.
Fingercheck allows you to track employee incidents when needed. Tracking incidents is a feature to help you gain a clear understanding of how to use employee incident types and ratings to enhance workplace safety, employee performance, and overall operational efficiency.
Add Incident Types to your company
An Incident Type is the type of incident that the employee experienced in the workplace. The types of incidents you add is dependent on what you would like to track. You can track the employee’s tardiness, absenteeism, and job performance. You can even track more serious incidents such as workplace accidents the employee may experience like a fall, burn, or crash.
