  • Amazon launched a dashboard for managers to track office attendance in real time
  • Managers can view hours, days, and office locations for each employee
  • Employees are sorted into categories based on office attendance patterns

Amazon has rolled out a new internal tool that lets managers track office attendance for corporate employees in much more detail than before. The information comes from a document reviewed by Business Insider, which says the company started giving access to this dashboard in December 2025.

The dashboard shows how many days employees have worked from Amazon offices, how many hours they spent inside Amazon buildings, and which office locations they are logging in from. Earlier, managers could access most of this data too, but they had to request it from HR. Now, it’s available on demand, meaning no waiting, no formal emails, no internal ticket raising. Managers can simply open the tool and see the attendance patterns of their team over the last eight weeks.

Amazon has not changed its stance on office work. The company still expects most corporate employees to follow a five-days-a-week work from office schedule, a rule it began enforcing in 2025. The new dashboard is meant to give managers a clearer picture of who is meeting those expectations and who isn’t.

The tool sorts employees into three categories. The first is “Low-Time Badgers.” These are employees whose median office time is less than four hours per day, calculated over eight weeks. The second is “Zero Badgers,” employees who did not badge into any Amazon building in that period. The third category is “Unassigned Building Badgers,” employees who show up in buildings other than their assigned office more than half the time.
