TeamSense

Join us in celebrating 142 years of Labor Day! While many enjoy a long weekend, the holiday honors the social and economic achievements of American workers. It all started on September 5, 1882, when 10,000 workers in NYC marched to demonstrate the strength of labor organizations. Their efforts led to better working conditions and a federal holiday recognizing the importance of labor. Happy Labor Day!

"To better manage attendance tracking, Kenco Group is also piloting a technology called TeamSense. Prior to this investment, Kenco primarily relied on employees to leave phone messages notifying their company of an absence, which were fielded by the HR team and passed onto supervisors.
