Hybrid work management that measures office and home days by the same rules
Mera Work runs on your work computers, so a day in the office and a day at home are recorded the same way. Managers get a shared attendance record, a dashboard and reports grouped by location, and people are judged on the same numbers wherever they worked.

What Mera Work gives a hybrid team
A consistent way of recording the working day, whether people are in the office on Tuesday or at home on Friday.
A shared attendance record
Attendance starts with the first activity and ends with the last, at home or in the office. Nobody punches in, and nobody is counted differently for where they sit.
Fair reviews wherever people work
The same rules and the same reports apply to all staff, so a person who works from home is reviewed on the same numbers as the person at the next desk.
A view of the whole team
The dashboard shows who is working and how the day is going for the office and home workers together, grouped by manager, location or department.
Fewer check ins
Hours, activity and the apps in use are recorded as people work, so managers spend less time asking for updates on home days.
Common hybrid work problems and what changes with Mera Work
Most hybrid teams come to Mera Work with questions like these. A setting or a report you already have answers them.
- Office staff and home staff are counted differently
- The agent records all computers the same way, and the same idle interval, working days and categories apply wherever the person works.
- Attendance uses a badge in the office and a message at home
- Attendance is taken from the first and last activity on the computer, so the method is the same at any location.
- People who come in are noticed more than people at home
- Reviews start from the same reports for the whole team: productive time, hours against expected and hours by project.
- People switch between a laptop and an office desktop
- A person can use several computers, and a computer can be shared, so the day adds up across them.
- Office days change from week to week
- Shift templates can be fixed or set on a weekly roster, and assigned to each person.
- Offices set their own rules
- Settings are made once for the organisation and changed in bulk for a team or department, so all locations follow the same policy.

How Mera Work supports a hybrid team
The agent goes with the computer, the rules go with the person, and the reports bring the team together.
The same record at home and in the office
The agent runs on your work computers, so it records the day the same way wherever the laptop is. It works over VPN, proxy and VDI connections, keeps recording when the connection drops, and adds up the day across all the computers a person uses.
- Active, idle, away and offline time on all computers
- Several computers per person, and shared computers
- Works over VPN, proxy and VDI
- Offline recording, synced when the connection returns
The same attendance method at any location
Attendance runs from the first activity of the day to the last, measured against expected hours, working days and holidays. For teams with set office days, shift templates can be fixed or set on a weekly roster. Time away from the computer, such as a client visit, is claimed from the day's timeline and approved by a manager.
- Logged against expected hours, with untracked days
- Fixed or roster shift calendar, assigned per person
- Holiday calendar by year
- Time claims for work away from the computer
Home days and office days land in the same Attendance report, measured against the same expected hours.

Reports that compare teams on the same terms
Members have a base location and a department. Reports group by manager, location or department, so teams in different offices, or teams that work mostly from home, are compared on the same numbers. Settings are made once and changed in bulk, so all locations follow the same policy.
- Group by manager, location or department
- Organisation, team and individual views
- Bulk Configuration for a team or department
- Team Summary and User Summary emailed on working days

Common questions about managing hybrid teams
What is hybrid work management software?
It records the working day the same way for people in the office and at home, so attendance, hours and productivity can be managed together. Mera Work does this with an agent on your work computers and a dashboard for managers.
Do people need to punch in at the office and check in at home?
No. Attendance is taken from the first and last activity on the computer, so the method is the same wherever the person works.
Can we compare offices and teams?
Yes. Members have a base location and a department, and reports group by manager, location or department.
What if someone uses a laptop at home and a desktop in the office?
Install the agent on both. A person can use several computers, and the day adds up across them in all reports.
Can office days change from week to week?
Yes. Shift templates can be fixed or set on a weekly roster, and assigned to individual people.
Does it work on home internet and the office network?
Yes. The agent works over VPN, proxy and VDI connections, and keeps recording when the connection drops.
Are home workers monitored more than office workers?
Only if you choose to. Settings such as screenshots, live screen and Work Mode are per person, so you can apply a policy to the whole team or set it team by team.
Put office and home days on the same record
Install the agent on two computers, at the office and at home, and the dashboard fills the same day.
