In the Yogyakarta City Regional Secretariat, the tardiness rate reached 24.38% over the past two years, highlighting the urgent need for intervention. Contributing factors include poor time management skills, organizational culture, and environmental challenges such as traffic congestion. The impacts of tardiness not only reduce productivity but also affect employee morale and public perception of government institutions. Strategies to mitigate tardiness include enhancing time management training, fostering a culture of accountability, and implementing flexible work arrangements. Successful case studies from other organizations demonstrate the effectiveness of digital attendance systems and flexible work setups in improving punctuality.
