ActivTrak Enhances Workforce Management Solutions for Hybrid Work

AUSTIN, Texas, September 10, 2025 - ActivTrak has officially announced upgrades to its Workforce Management (WFM) tools, allowing organizations to manage their increasingly distributed teams with greater visibility and automation. As remote and hybrid work models become standard practice, many traditional workforce management systems find themselves inadequate and unable to respond to the evolving work landscape.

Historically, WFM systems were designed for environments such as call centers and require rigid processes that are often not feasible in today’s more fluid work settings. According to Gallup, a significant 79% of employees capable of remote work are now engaged in either hybrid or fully remote arrangements. This paradigm shift demands a more adaptable approach that older systems cannot provide.

ActivTrak's expanded capabilities cater to this new reality by integrating both digital and non-digital activities, calendar events, location insights, and scheduling information into a unified platform. This allows business leaders to have a clear and useful overview of team activity without the need for invasive monitoring practices.

Heidi Farris, CEO of ActivTrak, elaborated on this development, stating, "The ongoing consolidation in the workforce and Human Capital Management (HCM) sectors indicates a significant transformation—organizations no longer seek standalone solutions; instead, they crave integrated systems that merge efficiency with trust." This trend is echoed by client feedback, reflecting a demand for cohesive tools that streamline modern work methods.

With the latest WFM enhancements, managers can effectively monitor attendance across a variety of shifts and time zones, confirm contractor work hours through verified activity data, and differentiate between on-site and remote work without utilizing GPS tracking or personal devices. The new automation tools also facilitate immediate alerts for compliance gaps, allowing managers to address concerns as they arise.

A striking point raised is the financial implications of workforce underutilization, which costs U.S. companies an estimated $11.2 million annually for every 1,000 employees—akin to paying full salaries for only 87% of expected productivity. ActivTrak’s visualization tools aim to bridge this gap by enhancing workforce utilization.

Javier Aldrete, CTO of ActivTrak, commented on the shortcomings of traditional WFM systems that relied heavily on manual self-reporting, stating, "These systems often compromised employee privacy. Our new WFM solution is designed specifically for the hybrid landscape—streamlining processes, enhancing accountability, and providing actionable data that organizations can utilize regardless of team location."

The advantages for customers utilizing ActivTrak's revamped WFM solutions include:

• - Reducing the need for manual oversight by up to 80%
• - Ensuring compliance while safeguarding employee privacy
• - Facilitating simpler audits of labor costs and contractor payments
• - Providing reliable and audit-ready workforce information
• - Consolidating multiple tools into one integrated platform

As hybrid work solidifies itself as the new normal, ActivTrak's expanded WFM capabilities lead the way in shaping a new generation of platforms dedicated to optimizing, ensuring compliance, and building employee trust.
