How to track required office attendance with Officely in Slack

Use Officely Insights, Check-ins, and exports in Slack to understand whether employees and teams are attending the office as expected.

Written by Kristina Semcenko

If your team has a minimum number of expected office days, Officely in Slack can help you review attendance patterns and spot where people may be missing their expected days.

This is useful if you want to understand:

  • who booked into the office

  • who actually checked in

  • how often teams are using the office

  • which employees may need a reminder

  • whether your office policy is being followed over time


Step 1: Use Insights to review office attendance

Admins can use Officely Insights in Slack to see attendance data across the office.

In Insights, you can review:

  • recent activity

  • booking history

  • office usage

  • employee attendance patterns

  • team-level attendance, where teams are set up

If you need a monthly report, we recommend using the Bookings export, as this gives you the raw data for the selected period.


Step 2: Use teams for manager-level visibility

If managers only need to see their own team’s attendance, you can set them up as Team Managers.

Team Managers can view attendance data for the people in their team, without needing full office admin access.

This is useful when team leads are responsible for encouraging or monitoring office attendance within their own team.


Step 3: Enable Check-ins for more accurate attendance

Bookings show who planned to come in. Check-ins show who confirmed they actually attended.

If you want more accurate attendance data, we recommend enabling Check-ins in Slack.

Once enabled, employees will receive a reminder asking them to confirm whether they attended the office. Admins can then see who has and has not checked in.


Step 4: Export the data

If you need to compare attendance against an internal policy, you can export booking data from Insights.

The export can be used to review:

  • booked days

  • check-in status

  • attendance by employee

  • attendance by team

  • attendance across a selected time period

This is often the best option if you need to compare Officely data with your own HR or policy records.


Important note

Officely helps you review attendance data, but it does not currently enforce a required number of office days for each employee automatically.

If your company has a specific office attendance policy, we recommend using Officely exports alongside your internal policy records.
