If you are still using staff holiday planning spreadsheets they cost more than you think.
HR Managers will tell you about endless interruptions, leave clashes and holiday disputes. Line Managers will feedback that HR doesn’t get back to them quickly enough or that they don’t have enough visibility of information to make a decision or know when other staff are off.
Activ Absence provides everything in one place and the online leave planner tackles all these frustrations – and saves the business time and money. Keep reading to learn more, or book at online demo to see the software in action.
Striking the balance between absenteeism and presenteeism is vital to improving staff productivity. Absence recording tools such as payroll can help, but tailor-made absence management software gives you far more information, better absence tracking and a standardised absence management process. This enables HR to deliver a supportive, effective, and proactive approach to staff sickness issues.
Activ Absence is configurable to work with your organisations HR policies wherever the business is located. Activ Absence is regarded as one of the most flexible absence management software solution on the market today – used and loved by businesses from 5 to 15000 employees.
Better monitoring and superior reporting make absence management in your organisation simple, fair and straightforward. Absence management requires careful, skilled handling by a HR Manager – our software makes their skills more effective.
Activ Absence is not just about managing absence – we help you manage your employees.
By banishing paper and spreadsheets to the past, manual holiday management processes no longer impact on the huge amount time taken to submit, review and authorise requests. No more dealing with unhappy staff with confusion over the number of holidays they have taken or are entitlement to!
With Activ Absence, employees have complete control over booking any type of leave request and checking their holiday entitlement. We provide self-service at the heart of the software enabling staff to access what they need to know to make their request quickly and easily from any device anywhere.
They don’t have to worry about who needs to approve their request because the software uses the automated workflow process for line manager approval. Line managers receive an email where they can accept or reject requests with a click of a button. Reminders are then sent for requests still awaiting approval.
