Integration of biometric technologies into a personnel management system in a digital economy

Digital technologies are widely used by the world population and development of digital economy is reflected in national projects, as well as in federal and regional programs. Therefore, the topic of biometric technologies is especially important now because such technologies have been used in various areas of economic activity. Yet, despite great opportunities which biometric technologies have, their use in personnel work has not been sufficiently studied. The paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the possibility of integration of biometric technologies into the personnel management system and provides an assessment of their impact on the efficiency of modern companies. Statistical data analysis is theoretical and practical basis of the study. Problems and negative factors that prevent the introduction of biometrics in modern business segment are determined more relevant on its basis. The authors of the paper have analyzed the current state and growth rate of the global market of biometric systems. As a result of this study, the approach to assessing the effectiveness of introducing biometric technologies into personnel management system of modern companies has been scientifically proven. Also, it has been determined that biometric technologies can simplify the procedure for normalizing labour processes because biometric time recorders allow for tracking the time of employees' stay in various departments, detailed movement schemes, the efficiency of each employee's activity during the working day. Due to biometric time recorders, it is also possible to prepare reports about work and rest conditions of employees, evaluate the effectiveness of their work and keep records of employees transferred to distance work. Further, it is possible to formulate labour standards of various categories of employees and form the total wage fund. It has been found that the integration of biometric technologies into personnel management system will increase the intensity of the use of organizations' labour resources.
