Absence percentage, absence period, zero absences ... These are just a few examples of the 'classic' figures that provide you with indispensable information to get an overview of your absence situation. Yet, too many companies still lack that insight. Data and automation can do something about this, in the form of absence management software. With an absence management program, you can not only secure your absence procedures and provide support to those involved. It also allows you to centralize and measure your absence figures - and that has benefits for everyone in your company.
Hr: simplified administrationAn automated absence policy has all sorts of benefits for HR managers. They can monitor absence figures always in real time and check how well employees and managers are following absence procedures. The software also automates the collection of absence figures, reducing the need for less manual follow-up. And is the absence program linked to your social secretariat application? Then you can be sure that your staff information is always up-to-date.
Thanks to the absence software, managers receive a digital notification as soon as an action is required: holding an absence call, contacting an absent team member... In addition, the platform's tips, checklists and model letters provide effective support to start a dialog with colleagues on long-term sick leave. This way, the threshold for dealing with problematic absences is lowered.
Absence management software allows management to closely monitor the evolution of the absence situation in the organization. It provides a clear overview of the direct and indirect costs of absence. This way, it is always clear where valuable resources are being wasted - and where your absence policy is delivering results. In addition, absence software enables benchmarking, so you can start comparing absence figures with industry peers or companies of the same size.
As staff and managers receive automatic notifications of certain absence measures, employees feel the close follow-up of the absence policy directly. This motivates, discourages absences and facilitates a constructive dialog. The absence software also professionalizes the management of administrative tasks. For example, employees can easily submit their sickness certificates online and receive a reminder if they have forgotten a certificate.
Depending on the role someone has in the organization, specific rights are granted on the software platform. This way, you will only see the figures that are relevant to you. In this way, the absence program ensures that everyone handles sensitive and confidential data more carefully. In addition, it offers a solution for the rapidly evolving legislation around absences: collective reintegration policy, sick days and holidays... With absence software, you easily meet all (stricter) reporting requirements.
Data and automation, in the form of absence management software, are a vital link in any absence policy. They close the loop: they allow you to formulate your policy and anchor processes, but also to monitor and interpret your absence figures to adjust and improve it. You can then provide feedback on this to everyone involved - who, incidentally, all experience personal benefits thanks to the platform.
