Digitalisation, remote work, flexibility… the world of work is constantly evolving. Amid all these changes, the Human Resources department has become a key player in keeping people connected, motivated, and, of course, well managed. To achieve this, more and more companies are turning to HR tools that help them adapt to the new reality without sacrificing efficiency or control.
In this article, we’ll explore the most commonly used solutions by HR professionals — and how at Grupo SPEC, we’re setting the trend in this sector.
HR tools that truly make a difference
Time tracking made simple
Since Royal Decree-Law 8/2019 established the obligation to record working hours, many companies have been forced to modernise. NetTime One, by Grupo SPEC, is a solution that automates time tracking, ensures regulatory compliance, and takes the headache out of time management for HR teams.
Secure and well-managed access
Security is also an essential part of HR’s daily responsibilities. idBrain is another tool offered by Grupo SPEC that delivers just that. This access control terminal helps companies manage who enters, at what time, and in which areas — all from a single system. Perfect for those who need control without the complexity.
Technology that recognises people
Clocking in with your face, fingerprint, or a card is no longer a thing of the future. SPEC’s biometric terminals enable fast, contactless, and highly intuitive identification. And the best part? They integrate seamlessly with other HR tools, creating a functional and easy-to-use ecosystem.
However, it’s important to note that in order to use this technology, we recommend that clients consult with their legal or data protection specialists to ensure full GDPR compliance and carry out a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA).
Other identification methods are also available depending on the type of installation, such as PIN, QR code, proximity card, and Bluetooth (via the SPEC Virtual Card mobile app).
Why invest in HR tools?
Time saved
A good tool doesn’t just solve tasks — it frees up time. Managing holidays, shifts, or absences is no longer an endless Excel spreadsheet, but just a couple of clicks away.
Greater autonomy for employees
When the system is simple, everyone benefits. Employees can check their schedules or request time off through an app, and HR stops being the “paperwork department.”
Data-driven decisions
With digitalisation, data is right at your fingertips. Knowing how many hours have been worked, how many sick leaves have occurred, or how shifts are distributed is no longer a matter of guesswork — it’s based on concrete information. And for any HR professional, that’s pure gold.
In short, HR tools are no longer a luxury — they’ve become a necessity. And when it comes to choosing the right ones, at Grupo SPEC we’ve spent over four decades developing technological solutions that truly understand the needs of both businesses and people. Because working well also means having the right tools.
