LaRue Burbank, mathematician and computer, is just one of the many women who were instrumental to NASA missions.

4 Little Known Women Who Made Huge Contributions to NASA

Women have always played a significant role at NASA and its predecessor NACA, although for much of the agency’s history, they received neither the praise nor recognition that their contributions deserved. To celebrate Women’s History Month – and properly highlight some of the little-known women-led accomplishments of NASA’s early history – our archivists gathered the stories of four women whose work was critical to NASA’s success and paved the way for future generations.

LaRue Burbank: One of the Women Who Helped Land a Man on the Moon

LaRue Burbank was a trailblazing mathematician at NASA. Hired in 1954 at Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory (now NASA’s Langley Research Center), she, like many other young women at NACA, the predecessor to NASA, had a bachelor's degree in mathematics. But unlike most, she also had a physics degree. For the next four years, she worked as a "human computer," conducting complex data analyses for engineers using calculators, slide rules, and other instruments. After NASA's founding, she continued this vital work for Project Mercury.

In 1962, she transferred to the newly established Manned Spacecraft Center (now NASA’s Johnson Space Center) in Houston, becoming one of the few female professionals and managers there.  Her expertise in electronics engineering led her to develop critical display systems used by flight controllers in Mission Control to monitor spacecraft during missions. Her work on the Apollo missions was vital to achieving President Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the Moon.

Eilene Galloway: How NASA became… NASA

Eilene Galloway wasn't a NASA employee, but she played a huge role in its very creation. In 1957, after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, Senator Richard Russell Jr. called on Galloway, an expert on the Atomic Energy Act, to write a report on the U.S. response to the space race. Initially, legislators aimed to essentially re-write the Atomic Energy Act to handle the U.S. space goals. However, Galloway argued that the existing military framework wouldn't suffice – a new agency was needed to oversee both military and civilian aspects of space exploration. This included not just defense, but also meteorology, communications, and international cooperation.

Her work on the National Aeronautics and Space Act ensured NASA had the power to accomplish all these goals, without limitations from the Department of Defense or restrictions on international agreements. Galloway is even to thank for the name "National Aeronautics and Space Administration", as initially NASA was to be called “National Aeronautics and Space Agency” which was deemed to not carry enough weight and status for the wide-ranging role that NASA was to fill.

Barbara Scott: The “Star Trek Nerd” Who Led Our Understanding of the Stars

A self-described "Star Trek nerd," Barbara Scott's passion for space wasn't steered toward engineering by her guidance counselor. But that didn't stop her!  Fueled by her love of math and computer science, she landed at Goddard Spaceflight Center in 1977.  One of the first women working on flight software, Barbara's coding skills became instrumental on missions like the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) and the Thermal Canister Experiment on the Space Shuttle's STS-3.  For the final decade of her impressive career, Scott managed the flight software for the iconic Hubble Space Telescope, a testament to her dedication to space exploration.

Dr. Claire Parkinson: An Early Pioneer in Climate Science Whose Work is Still Saving Lives

Dr. Claire Parkinson's love of math blossomed into a passion for climate science. Inspired by the Moon landing, and the fight for civil rights, she pursued a graduate degree in climatology.  In 1978, her talents landed her at Goddard, where she continued her research on sea ice modeling. But Parkinson's impact goes beyond theory.  She began analyzing satellite data, leading to a groundbreaking discovery: a decline in Arctic sea ice coverage between 1973 and 1987. This critical finding caught the attention of Senator Al Gore, highlighting the urgency of climate change.

Parkinson's leadership extended beyond research.  As Project Scientist for the Aqua satellite, she championed making its data freely available. This real-time information has benefitted countless projects, from wildfire management to weather forecasting, even aiding in monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic. Parkinson's dedication to understanding sea ice patterns and the impact of climate change continues to be a valuable resource for our planet.

The screen I spend the most time with these days is a black LCD monitor attached to a PC in an indie bookshop on Long Island. I spend whole days looking at point-of-sale software called Anthology which also keeps track of the store’s inventory. Often, it’s accurate. Occasionally, it says we have three copies of The Bell Jar that have simply disappeared from the face of the Earth. No one stole them. They were raptured, like socks that never make it out of the dryer.

If you’ve never worked a retail job, let me tell you what it’s like: you come in with a little spring in your step, caffeinated, and ready to greet your coworkers and update them on how terrible your last shift without them was. Though the memory of the previous shift’s slog might give you a little anxiety, and though a hangover can make your fuse a little short, you’re in a better mood at the start of the day than at the end. Tedious tasks like ordering and unboxing books (sci-fi movies did not prepare me for how much cardboard there would be in the future) seem manageable in the morning. Customers seem kind. The items you’re selling feel necessary to human happiness. Whatever is going on in your life is put on pause to manage store operations, and time flies. Then, by 3 PM, whether you had time for lunch or not, you wish you had done anything else with your day — or, better yet — your life. 

While the back-straining work of moving inventory around the store or walking the floor helping customers all day without a second to sit down might make you physically tired, the real work of retail is mental and forces employees to become part-machine. Retail workers have to ask the same three questions (“Rewards?” “Bag?” “Receipt?”) and reply to the same three questions (“Have it?” “Bathroom?” “Manager?!?!?”) for 8-10 of their most worthwhile waking hours. 

In bookstores, there is the added expectation that while you’re participating in this mind-numbing routine, you’re at least able to pretend to like and engage with literature. I'm not arguing that people working at Old Navy aren’t eloquent or as over-educated for their job as I am. If they aren’t teenagers, most retail employees I’ve encountered have, by virtue of talking to coworkers and customers all day, the same high emotional intelligence as the smartest people I know who chain smoke outside bars. Still, my guess is that it’s rare for a customer to see a clothing store employee folding clothes, and think “I wonder what their opinion is of the latest Ann Patchett book” or “I wonder if they read Knausgård and run a book club when they’re not helping me find jeans in my size.” People see booksellers doing the same tedious tasks as any other retail employee and assume they not only possess unlimited knowledge about the state of publishing but also have unlimited hours to read while in the store. Customers hold booksellers to an impossible intellectual standard. When they fail to live up to said standard, they’re subjected to conversations like this:

“You haven’t read the latest Kingsolver?” a customer will ask, “Why not? What about this one? Or that one? It’s so good though! I thought you would have read all of these!” 

What’s a shame is that they think they’re being kind when they half-recommend, half-admonish bookstore employees. Worse are the people who are flat-out rude. Case in point, a man came into the store at hour six of my shift, and without any preamble, treating me like I was a human Google search bar, said the name of an author, then started spelling the name. When I asked for a second to look up what I assumed he was asking for, he rolled his eyes and began spelling slowly and loudly: “PAUL. P…A…U…” 

Sadly, I’m too old to be treated that way and without thinking I raised my hand and said sternly “Don’t do that.” Now some oblivious retired banker is walking around Long Island asking himself why indie booksellers are so mean. My Midwestern niceness has disappeared, my helpful attitude is now nonexistent. I have been worn down by the people I’m paid to be kind to.

The Future of Robots: How Intelligent Machines Are Entering Everyday Life

The idea of robots helping us at home or work used to be science fiction—but in 2025, it’s fast becoming reality. From robotic arms on factory floors to AI assistants in hospitals and homes, intelligent machines are redefining how we live and work.

Boston Dynamics, a pioneer in robotics, continues to develop lifelike robots that can walk, lift, and move with surprising agility. Their “Stretch” robot is already in use in warehouses to automate package handling. Meanwhile, Tesla’s Optimus project aims to build humanoid robots for general-purpose tasks like cooking or assisting elderly care.

On the software side, Ultimez Technology is developing smart AI logic that can be integrated into robotic platforms. Their HR monitoring model, for example, could easily translate into robot-assisted interview panels or workplace monitoring systems, making it easier for companies to track employee behavior and workplace engagement.

SoftBank’s Pepper robot is being used in retail and hospitality to interact with customers in multiple languages, offering a glimpse into socially intelligent robots.

These machines aren’t just replacing labor—they’re enhancing human capabilities, filling gaps in dangerous or repetitive roles. As AI becomes more intuitive and hardware becomes more agile, we’re looking at a near future where robots will be common coworkers, not just lab experiments.

youre like the pam to my jim (preview)

im on my office romcom au bullshit folks. itll be a oneshot and basically pwp but here's the lead in to wet ur whistle.

dunmeshi/chilaios/dom!laios/eventual bdsm club shenanigans/2.2K

cw: blue collar blues, language, not so unresolved sexual tension, questionable workplace romance between a superior (chilchuck) and his subordinate (laios). this is not used for leverage (laios is actually the dom in this scenario, inverting the power imbalance) but i thought id mention it. they keep it professional on the clock (USUALLY)

Though he’d rocked up to the office less than an hour ago, Chilchuck’s workday had already run long. All the printers had gone offline, and he had to spend a few hours troubleshooting with Kuro how to get them operational; there had been a software update, apparently, that rendered the very outdated inter-office network unusable. Of course, this meant an hour on the phone with the district manager trying to get their network updated to the company-wide standard, something that had been blown off for a year and a half; the way she reacted to his request, Chil might as well have asked her for her firstborn. All he could get for his trouble was a tepid “I’ll look into it”. This meant running around handing out USB sticks like holiday cards so his employees could get something done, and lots of lines at the printers into the foreseeable future, and naturally their budget for office supplies had been cut, so it all came out of his pocket.

The whole department was behind on their calls, but Chilchuck fought back the urge to go around crabbing at people to catch up. It served him well, as Marcille approached him in the afternoon and informed him that the phone lines were down, and the voice mailbox wasn’t functioning, and there were angry customers on the line. Another call to Kuro, who was really stretching the limits of his contract, and it turns out that the phones had also been pushed a software update that made them incompatible with the inter-office network, and they would have to take every call in two rings or they would be automatically parked on a line that no longer existed and be summarily hung up on.

Mr. Tims announced he would be taking a lunch. He blasted a cigarette in the parking lot and returned to his desk to sulk, face in hands, dreaming of days when their lines were all directly connected and they didn’t have to go through the song and dance of software updates, firmware updates, network security updates, OS updates, wireless headsets, broken wireless headsets, lost wireless headsets and keycards and lost keycards and broken keycards and daily performance numbers and corrective action reports and work smartphones with keylogging software in them and mouse movement monitoring and—

Chilchuck went back to work. He used his personal cell to call up the DM and informed her of the raging clusterfuck that had become his department—and probably the whole branch—now that the office network was effectively obsolete. She sounded on the verge of tears—apparently her other branches had also fallen victim to the endless onward march of the digital millennium, and she was at her wit’s end trying to fix them all at once. Every stress-deadened neuron in his withering brain proclaimed: serves you right. If you had fixed this when I first asked, we’d all be stressed out at the usual operating baseline. He wished her the best and hung up. He stared blankly at his desktop calendar, seeing that the next district meeting was in three days. His vision briefly fuzzed over and he fantasized about leaping onto the table and screaming, just screaming until his throat was raw and his face was purple and they had to have the orc from the main branch’s operational compliance department drag him out.

 Chilchuck went for coffee. He was risking time theft, but his DM had bigger problems, and there wasn’t much he could do. The frantic calling died down, Marcille having performed some kind of forbidden ritual to pacify their frothing customer base. During his walkaround he saw most of the floor taking calls, even folks who normally ducked phone duty, so she must have gone around recruiting people to her cause. Chilchuck made a note of that; he’d have to compensate her somehow for taking on what should have been his job.

Laios, however, was nowhere to be seen. This rankled Chilchuck; Laios rarely missed a day except for the handful of times Chilchuck had to send him home for being deathly ill, so of course the day he had to miss, there was catastrophe. His cubicle was empty, he wasn’t in the break room, he wasn’t in the parking lot putting out an engine fire on his piece of shit motorcycle, not at the watercooler. Nothing. He checked with Marcille if he’d called out, and she quirked an eyebrow up at him.

“No? He’s in the server room, with Kuro.”

“Kuro?”

“Yeah, he said he went to help.”

Mr. Tims ground his teeth. “That’s not his—I’ll go talk to him.”

Marcille smirked. “Sure you will.”

Chilchuck glowered at her, but Marcille faced his evil eye with insufferable smugness. He remembered all too soon that she saved his ass this morning, and he had to close his open mouth and walk away.

“We’re even now,” he growled.

“Nope! Still getting that Starbucks gift card!”

She was right, but he wouldn’t be admitting it. Chilchuck stormed out of his department and down the hall, sliding smoothly into a closing elevator with a few other disgruntled employees, taking a frankly infuriating number of stops at basically every floor until he could ride it all the way down into the basement. When the doors parted, hot, stuffy air flooded in. Chilchuck winced and loosened his tie and waistcoat as he stalked the rows of servers, the heat only getting worse the longer he lingered, until he found Kuro kneeling with his arms in the guts of the worst cable management imaginable, Laios helping him separate out the lines to keep track of each spaghettified clump of wires.

“Chil!” Laios said, getting a growl from Kuro that probably meant be quiet in Western Kobold. “Oh, uh, sorry. Mr. Tims! How is it up there?”

“Bad,” Chilchuck ground out. “Of course. We could really use a hand with the calls up there, you know.”

“Oh, are the lines working again?”

“Enough to receive them, but not enough to park them, so it’s a disaster for customer satisfaction,” Chilchuck said, trying to manage his volume. “So what are you doing down here? I don’t recall you being in IT.”

Laios slopped some sweat off the back of his neck with the palm of his equally sweaty hand. His dragon-patterned tie had been loosened enough to nearly slip off his neck, just enough to stay in code, and he’d tucked the end of it into his pocket to keep it out of the way, having forgotten his clip again. The heat in their dilapidated, poorly ventilated server room made his business casual button-up cling nicely to the curves of his chest and solid core, the one bright point in Chilchuck’s day so far.

“Oh, well, I wasn’t getting anywhere with my work… I mostly had a bunch of bills to print and mail out today, so naturally that was going nowhere. I had my personal USB on me, so I tried to get it done manually, but Namari was hogging it for her shipment printouts because apparently their system is kaput in the warehouse… and when I checked again everyone was using it. Some of the newer printer models don’t come with USB ports, so some of the more up-to-date departments were mooching off ours.”

“I thought the lines seemed a little excessive,” Chilchuck grumped. “I don’t think I’ve seen those things used more rigorously than they have been today.”

“Yup, that’s why. So I caught Kuro running between the floors trying to troubleshoot his latest Band-Aid fix, so I’ve been doing all the stuff that doesn’t require a tech degree, heh.”

“Laios okay with software,” Kuro chimed in. “Break hardware.”

“Yeah,” Laios said with a frown. “But the part was replaceable!” He beamed, cutting off a lecture. “Good thing Kuro hangs onto spare parts.”

Chilchuck’s eyes narrowed, and he turned to the real IT technician of the pair. “Is he actually helping, Kuro? Or are you humoring him?”

“Nice to have extra hands.” His tail wagged loosely, bushing the cuffs of his slacks. “He runs up to other floors. Checks employee access and network strength in offices. Saves time.”

“Alright then. Keep up the good work.” Chilchuck met Laios’ eye. Laios winked at him. Chilchuck blushed and ignored him, heels clacking on the cheap linoleum as he walked away.

Chilchuck hopped on call duty, having found everyone in their place and doing what all could be done. His customer service voice got a workout that left him feeling tense and jittery, every call opening with a frustrated sigh or straight up yelling. After a few quick resolutions and a handful of longer, 20–30-minute stretches of troubleshooting and over-the-phone customer cocksucking, the landline made a happy little beep, the flashing lights next to every line dying out one by one as they were parked. A dialogue box popped up on his PC: Connected to HP-5669964.

“Hey, Chil!”

Laios strode into Chilchuck’s office, startling his boss for a second as he rounded the desk in a few long strides. A big hand clapped down on Chil’s shoulder, jostling his arm and spilling coffee on the crisp collar of his shirt. Chilchuck grimaced.

“What.”

“We fixed it!”

Chilchuck eyed Laios suspiciously and set his mug down.

“How the hell did you…?”

“Don’t get too excited, it’s a temporary fix,” Laios chuckled. “But we narrowed down the problem to some kinda software incompatibility. Shuro rolled back the servers to an earlier restore point, so it’s like the update never happened! Of course, the update’s going to get forced on us again once the clock rolls over, but we can just do that tomorrow, too. If you want, I can come in early to-“

Mr. Tims raised a finger. “No. We’ll take care of it tomorrow when we usually punch in. Not everyone’s a morning person like you, Laios. It’s going to be 10 AM before anyone’s awake enough to do any work, so that’ll cover the time it takes for the servers to spin up.”

Laios leaned forward on the desk, hanging over Chilchuck’s high-backed ergonomic chair, one he had to shill out for himself. “What?” Chilchuck hissed, glowering up at him.

“I’m not hearing a ‘thank you’.”

Chilchuck scoffed. “For doing your job? You’re not doing this just for me. You’re being paid.”

Laios’s cupped Chilchuck’s cheek, hand engulfing half his face, which flushed and burned in Laios’ palm.

“Watch it, Touden,” he growled, arms crossed. Laios’ thumb stroked his cheekbone; Chilchuck didn’t swat him away. “We’re both on the clock.”

“Chil,” Laios said, in that honey-sweet tone that meant Chilchuck was about to be nagged. “You’re burnt out.”

Chilchuck blinked up at him, dark eyes shadowed by dark rings that Laios traced, up to his subtle, deepening crow’s feet. “Huh? No I’m not. This has just been a frustrating—” Laios’ fingers pushed into Chilchuck’s hair, shaking it out, raking blunt nails against his scalp. “—day. I’m not… you don’t have to…” He slumped into Laios’ big, warm palm, calloused but gentle in handling him. “… what was the question again?”

Laios chuckled. “Nothing. I got it handled.”

Chilchuck snapped back into reality and bit into the meat of Laios’ thumb to try to get him to unhandle it. Laios took it like a champ, pulling his hand out of Chilchuck’s mouth and cradling the whole of Chilchuck’s head in his palm, raking it back and forth, mussing up his hair, which Chilchuck reached up to fight off; his arms disobeyed him, flopping around like limp noodles until he gave up and relaxed into it.

“I can see you through your office windows, y’know. You looked like you weren’t having a great time. So I figured I’d help take care of it, ease your mind a little.” Laios’ smile had a sad quirk to it. “You look a little pale. You didn’t have cigarettes for lunch again, did you?”

Chilchuck grimaced. “None of your business.”

Laios sighed. “That’s a yes.”

“It’s just a rough week, Laios,” Chilchuck said. “I’ll be alright.”

Laios’ hand trailed down, framing Chilchuck’s chin with his thumb and forefinger.

“You’re coming home with me tonight,” Laios said, meeting Chilchuck’s eyes with that relentless force, gold boring into him. Sometimes Chilchuck wondered if Laios’ eyes ever got dry; he hardly ever blinked.  “We’re getting food into you, and a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow, we’re going to the club to work some of that tension out of you. Understood?”

Chilchuck’s pupils blew wide. His thick eyebrows pinched and he grimaced, unable to look away. Laios’ body curled over him, blocking out the office, the noise, the chaos. Chilchuck sighed, dropped his arms into his lap, and let Laios carry the weight of his skull.

“Oh, right,” Chilchuck realized, his eyes bright. “It’s Friday.”

Laios grinned and patted Chil’s cheek. “See? The fact that you forgot means you’re burned out. See you at six.”

Chilchuck threw paperclips at Laios until he left his office. At 6 PM, they met up on top of the hood of Chilchuck’s old Mustang; his tongue tasted like black coffee. Laios smiled, making it hard to kiss him deeply; Chilchuck got impatient and started biting. Marcille speedwalked past the car and neither of them noticed or cared.

Balancing Borders: Top Challenges in Managing Corporate Visas Globally

In today’s hyper-connected business world, the mobility of talent is essential. Yet managing corporate visas across multiple countries has become a complex balancing act. Whether you’re a multinational corporation or a fast-growing startup sending employees abroad, navigating immigration systems, timelines, compliance, and documentation can feel like walking a tightrope one misstep can result in denied entry, costly delays, or even reputational damage.

This blog unpacks the top challenges faced by HR teams, mobility managers, and legal departments as they strive to build agile, compliant global teams in 2025.

1. Evolving Immigration Policies

Immigration laws and business visa policies are dynamic and vary drastically by country. Governments often revise rules with little notice, driven by political changes, economic factors, or public health crises (as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic).

Impact:

Sudden changes can derail planned business trips or assignments

Companies must stay up-to-date or risk non-compliance

Solution:

Use dedicated immigration monitoring services

Subscribe to embassy alerts and legal briefings

2. Inconsistent Visa Processing Times

Visa processing is anything but predictable. While one embassy may issue a business visa in three days, another may take three weeks for a similar application. During peak seasons, delays often intensify.

Impact:

Disrupted travel plans and project timelines

Lost opportunities due to visa backlogs

Solution:

Plan visa applications at least 4–6 weeks in advance

Prioritize countries with faster processing or business-friendly policies

3. Tight Deadlines for Short-Term Assignments

Corporate travel often involves urgent timelines a last-minute client meeting, crisis intervention, or project launch. But securing a visa under such short notice isn't always feasible, especially for countries that don't offer emergency appointments.

Impact:

Missed events or critical face-to-face engagements

Employee and management frustration

Solution:

Establish a fast-track visa policy for urgent roles

Work with experienced visa consultants for expedited handling

 4. Documentation Inaccuracies

Even a small typo in a passport number or inconsistent itinerary details can result in application rejection. In some countries, errors can lead to bans or prolonged scrutiny.

Impact:

Visa denials or processing delays

Reputation risk with consulates

Solution:

Create an internal pre-submission checklist

Assign documentation review to trained professionals

5. Compliance & Legal Risks

Each country has specific visa categories, allowed activities, and stay durations. Mistakenly entering on the wrong visa type (e.g., business vs. work) can result in legal penalties, blacklisting, or deportation.

Impact:

Legal exposure for the company and employee

Bans on future applications

Solution:

Match visa category to the exact nature of travel

Conduct regular audits of corporate visa usage

6. Cost Management

Visa costs add up fees, courier charges, document translations, legalization, and sometimes penalties for errors or resubmissions. Without a structured system, visa costs become unpredictable.

Impact:

Budget overruns

Inefficiencies in resource allocation

Solution:

Build a visa cost matrix by destination

Use digital expense tracking tools for visa-related costs

7. Multi-Country Coordination

Managing multiple employees across jurisdictions means dealing with various embassies, consulates, and country-specific documentation norms. It’s a logistical puzzle.

Impact:

Bottlenecks due to lack of centralized oversight

Employee dissatisfaction due to poor travel coordination

Solution:

Use global mobility software or HR tech platforms

Appoint a dedicated global visa coordinator or external partner

Final Thoughts: Streamline to Scale

As companies scale globally, managing corporate visas must become a strategic HR function, not an administrative afterthought. By addressing the most common challenges proactively, businesses can unlock smoother international operations, improve employee satisfaction, and stay compliant in an increasingly regulated environment.

If your organization faces ongoing visa management hurdles, consider partnering with visa professionals who can streamline operations, provide global coverage, and adapt to evolving policy landscapes.  Need help simplifying global travel compliance?

Why Every Growing Business Needs Workforce Management Software to Stay Competitive in Today’s Market

In an era where agility, efficiency, and data-driven decision-making are paramount, workforce management has become a core driver of organizational success. As businesses scale, managing employee schedules, tracking productivity, and ensuring compliance becomes increasingly complex. Relying on manual processes or disconnected tools not only wastes time but also increases the risk of errors and inefficiencies.

That’s where Workforce Management Software comes into play—and for growing businesses, it’s no longer a luxury. It’s a strategic necessity. At Bullseye Engagement, we specialize in providing intelligent, customizable workforce management solutions that help organizations stay competitive, efficient, and future-ready.

What Is Workforce Management Software?

Workforce Management Software (WFM) refers to a suite of tools that help businesses effectively plan, track, and optimize employee workforces. It typically includes modules for scheduling, time and attendance, leave management, task tracking, productivity monitoring, and workforce analytics.

Unlike basic HR tools, WFM software provides real-time visibility into how labor resources are utilized and enables proactive management of the workforce to align with business needs.

Bullseye Engagement’s WFM platform goes a step further by integrating employee performance, engagement, and goal alignment into a unified system—allowing businesses to connect strategy with execution.

Why It Matters for Growing Businesses

As a company grows, so do its operational challenges. New hires, multiple departments, remote teams, and regulatory requirements all add complexity to workforce management. Here’s why growing businesses need WFM software to keep up:

Improved Scheduling and Shift Planning

Manual scheduling is time-consuming and prone to conflicts or errors. With Workforce Management Software, managers can automate shift planning, avoid overstaffing or understaffing, and ensure coverage across all departments.

Bullseye Engagement’s WFM system uses intelligent scheduling features that take into account employee availability, skills, and labor laws—making the scheduling process smarter and more efficient.

Real-Time Time and Attendance Tracking

Accurate time tracking is essential for managing payroll, labor costs, and productivity. Traditional punch cards or spreadsheets leave room for manipulation and error. A modern WFM solution offers real-time, automated time tracking via biometric, mobile, or cloud-based systems.

Our platform helps managers see who’s working, who’s late, and who’s approaching overtime—all in real time. This visibility helps prevent time theft and reduces payroll discrepancies.

Cost Control and Budgeting

Labor is one of the largest expenses for any organization. Without proper tracking and forecasting, costs can spiral out of control. Workforce Management Software allows companies to monitor labor costs per project, department, or location, helping to stay within budget and optimize labor spending.

Bullseye Engagement’s analytics dashboard helps business leaders identify trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities for savings—turning workforce data into actionable insights.

Enhanced Compliance and Risk Management

As your business grows, so does your exposure to labor regulations, including wage laws, break requirements, and local labor standards. Failure to comply can result in penalties or legal issues.

Bullseye Engagement’s WFM system automatically tracks compliance with labor laws, sends alerts when issues arise, and stores records for audits. It ensures your business stays compliant—without the headache.

Scalability and Flexibility

Growing companies need systems that grow with them. Our Workforce Management Software is cloud-based and scalable, making it ideal for organizations expanding across locations, departments, or countries.

Whether you’re managing five employees or five hundred, Bullseye Engagement provides the flexibility to adapt your workforce strategy to meet evolving business needs.

Integrating Workforce Management with Employee Engagement

Workforce management isn’t just about tracking hours—it’s about optimizing your most valuable resource: your people.

Bullseye Engagement is unique in integrating workforce management with performance management and employee engagement. This holistic approach allows businesses to:

Align workforce planning with strategic goals

Track individual and team performance in real time

Recognize achievements and foster motivation

Measure engagement levels and implement improvements

When employees feel their time is respected, their contributions are valued, and their goals are clear, productivity naturally improves. Our platform brings this full picture into a single, easy-to-use interface.

Forecast labor needs based on historical trends

Identify high-performing employees and teams

Spot attendance issues before they become problems

Measure productivity by role, location, or department
