Hi, my management has received information that employees at Wipro work for 9.5 hours per day, and this is strictly monitored by the HR team. They have asked me how we can implement a similar system in our company. We are in the infrastructure industry, and most of our employees work on-site, with only the support team located at the headquarters.

Methods for Employee Monitoring
There are many ways to monitor employees. It depends on the level of sophistication you have available.
At the base level, you can do manual monitoring. Have the security officer or shift supervisor send a list of employees with log-in and log-out times, and have one person in HQ feed it into a system, spreadsheet, or attendance software.
Alternatively, you can put up biometric machines at each site and have the data collected each day or week and sent to HQ for processing. There will be other methods in the middle. You need to choose based on your requirements and how much cost (capital expenditure and recurring) you are willing to incur.
