Why absence management?
Capacity planning is one of the main issues companies are having in their day-to-day management. Managing employee's absences and calendars is an important step in capacity planning. Ensuring employees have access to the relevant policies and information pertinent to their role is an essential step in making business decisions. Once employees have the relevant policies assigned to them, they can better manage their own absences, which reduces manual work and effort on the part of the admins and provides managers with the incites they need to better manage daily tasks for their teams. Enabling a sustainable absence management system can provide admins a stress-free way to plan for capacity while still enhancing employee communication through an easy reporting system. With Leapsome, you can now easily record, approve, and manage employee absences, holidays, and vacations.
