Digitizing leave and absence management
1. The Challenges of Manual Leave Management
- Anxious waiting: Employees submit their leave requests by e-mail, then wait anxiously for a response. Delays in approval or disapproval can disrupt their personal plans.
- Schedule conflicts: Managers have to juggle competing leave requests from several employees. Lack of visibility on the overall schedule can lead to scheduling conflicts and tensions within the team.
- Unexpected workload: An employee on leave falls ill, and there's no efficient way of finding a replacement. Colleagues then have to take on an unexpected extra workload.
- Tedious follow-up: HR managers spend hours managing spreadsheets full of leave requests, hampering their ability to focus on more strategic tasks.
