The Problem

HR departments are not being provided with the necessary level of support and assistance to manage the problem of absenteeism.

Current systems merely record absence-related data but do nothing to proactively manage the issue or try to reduce it. Real-time management reporting is non-existent or requires a significant effort to achieve. Absence policies exist but are difficult to implement.

Human Resources increasingly find themselves performing time consuming data entry and consolidation.

The Solution

The Absence Manager from Team Solutionz provides end to end attendance management. Absence Manager promotes and supports absence policies by notifying managers, Human Resources, payroll, Health and safety and Occupational Health at key stages in the absence process.

The system proactively notifies managers when back to work interviews are due, when sick certificates are due or are about to expire and when absentees have met trigger points.

Comprehensive real-time reporting up th the minute absence statistics including trends based on previous years performances.

The Business Case

In 2009, the combined average annual lost productivity for local government was £15.5 million. Long term absences alone cost councils £10 million. For the year 2008-09, a total of 121,000 working days were lost, around 12 days of absence for each council employee during the period.

The cost of absence extends far beyond the cost of lost productivity. It also includes the cost of:

• Recruiting and paying for temporary staff.
• Overtime cover.
• Failure to meet deadlines or provide key services.
• Additional demands on other staff leading to low morale and further absence.
• Diversion of management focus and attention.

This is the application HR departments have been waiting for and should not be without.
