Real time absenteeism reporting is a top priority for HR professionals

Real time absenteeism reporting is a top priority for well over half of HR professionals, as it provides key insights into the employees’ efficiency, a new research report has been able to reveal.

The report said absenteeism is managed through combined efforts between HR and line managers – while 85 percent rely on reports to assist with communicating about the state of absence. This is possible by implementing HR recording system capable of capturing and storing information about absenteeism in real-time in one central location. This enables quicker, more accurate and insightful management decision making to occur.

Further, when placing these statistics alongside the cost of absenteeism to UK businesses, and the current trend towards flexible working, it becomes quite obvious that better reporting could help businesses improve absenteeism management. They’d be able to work out causes of absenteeism, identify anomalies and plan resources more efficiently.

Tensor Time and Attendance provides enhanced real-time absenteeism reporting

Tensor plc supplies an extensive range of time and attendance systems fully capable of delivering enhanced real-time absenteeism reporting functionality, with our flagship WinTA.NET integrated workforce management solution incorporating a dedicated Absence Planning and Entitlement Management feature.

Our comprehensive, yet user-friendly software comes pre-loaded with graphical calendar charts that provide a colourful way of viewing an individual’s or a department’s absence records.

Each employee can be allocated different entitlements for absence such as annual leave or allowed sickness. As absence is booked and taken, the remainder available for each entitlement is updated. Entitlement formulae are used to calculate more complex entitlements calculated on a rising scale based upon length of service.

The time and attendance systems supply the relevant managers with information on employee’s absences through warning email notifications or via hardcopy reports. After that, the system would rapidly identify missing employees that are expected to be at work and then informs you via automatic email reporting reports distributed by email.
