Workforce management has become increasingly important across all sectors around the world. Since employees are the core strength of the organization and workforce management involves increasing the efficiency and performance of those very employees it is critically important to have an efficient workforce management system in place in any organization. The bigger the organization the bigger the challenge for the system to handle the hurdles that might come in way of handling the organization. It is important to know the psyche of the employees before increasing their performance. I think most organizations make the mistake of judging the employee beforehand only and not giving them enough time and training so that they can hone their skills and perform to the best of their ability. Not getting to know the employees in a better way can be dangerous for any organization.

FSM technology keeps track of things like inventory management, vehicle tracking, customer portals etc.

Human resource management is an inherent part of workforce management.  The key functions of HRM include staffing, development of workplace policies, giving away health benefits and deciding on vacation time and sick leave for the employees.
