Cardiff web firm has expansion hopes

WebBox, a website development and online marketing service, has purchased a new workspace near the centre of Cardiff.

The new premises will give the business an improved work environment, including open plan areas, two work pods, meeting rooms and breakout space. Located off Ocean Way, the 5,000 sq ft office is hoped to provide space and facilities to enable the company’s forecasted 2020 growth.

“The purchase of our new workspace is an investment that will help us continue to grow our digital services, expand our nationwide client-base, and create more career opportunities in the Welsh capital,” said WebBox managing director Will Roberts.

“It’s a long term move for WebBox, and this investment will allow us to meet the increased demand for our digital services.”

Moving to new, larger offices is the perfect time to assess your time and attendance system.

Many office-based companies don’t believe that they need a structured attendance monitoring system. As we say at Time and Attendance Southern, time and attendance system isn’t Big Brother, it just gives you the big picture!

The European Court of Justice has just ruled that all companies need to measure the duration of time worked every day by their employees. We can provide multiple different language packs, to help you fulfil this requirement if you have employees over on the Continent.

You may not need to know the exact timings of your salaried staff as a boss or a manager, but HR might find a full history of their timings very important if you ask them to put a member of staff on a disciplinary for lateness. Without careful documentation, proving lateness could be difficult. Many companies still operate on a casual “Just let me know,” attitude, which make it difficult to clearly state how many absences they might have had over a certain time period without laboriously scrolling through texts or emails.

With our centralised time and attendance system, HR can see everyone’s clocking data for whom they have permission, and quickly and easily export this or format it into reports using our report wizard or advanced report creation settings.

Staff can clock in either using our physical terminals, which work with fingerprints and/or radio-frequency smartcards, or if physical terminals can’t be installed then we can offer an online/app-based clocking in service called the Self-Service Module (SSM).
