News Facts

  • Things Remembered is optimizing productivity using Workforce
    Dimensions
    to more efficiently and effectively meet surging demand
    for home delivery and in-store pickup options.

    • Analytics embedded within Workforce Dimensions and powered by AIMEE,
      an artificial intelligence engine built for managers and
      employees, arms supervisors with real-time workforce data to
      enable strategic decision-making by quickly identifying trends and
      predicting outcomes related to engagement, performance, and
      employee fatigue.
    • Greater visibility into attendance metrics enables supervisors to
      identify and address absence trends weeks or even months before
      they would otherwise be recognized.
    • Proactive compliance functionality helps supervisors track complex
      compliance requirements and mitigate potential risks, alerting
      them days before a potential issue surfaces so they may take
      preventative action.
    • Workforce Dimensions offers a simple and flexible licensing model
      that enables Things Remembered to substantially increase seasonal
      workforce capacity as needed during peak times.
  • Things Remembered is transforming the role of its people managers and
    giving all teammates the modern employee experience they expect with
    Workforce Dimensions.

    • Data-driven automation empowers supervisors to schedule teammates
      based on demand, streamline payroll processing, and complete
      common workflows – such as time-off requests, timecard approvals,
      and shift-swaps – in real time using one-click actions. As a
      result, supervisors can spend more time supporting their teams and
      prioritizing customer orders.
    • Self-service features and one-click actions enable teammates to
      request time off, check time-off balances, view schedules, and
      compare hours week-over-week, without manager assistance, right
      from their smartphone or using an on-site kiosk at the retailer’s
      fulfillment center.
    • Teammates are automatically notified if they forget to clock in or
      out of a shift, giving them the opportunity to correct their
      timecard within the designated pay period and eliminating the
      liability of having supervisors edit employee timecards on their
      behalf.
