Absence management software is part of our AI-enabled HR Software solution and works by providing a range of tools and features to help managers and HR teams keep track of staff absence across the entire organisation. At Access, we offer absence management software that is integrated with time and attendance management software, and this gives managers and HR teams:
Absence management software is a holistic solution designed to help organisations manage all absences on one system - from holiday entitlement to parental leave and sickness. It usually includes both a holiday booking system and more sophisticated absence tracking and management capabilities.
A staff holiday booking system has a more specific purpose, which is to help managers and employees to easily view, request and approve holiday requests in a central location.
The best leave management system transforms absence management from reactive tracking to predictive workforce intelligence. For medium and large organisations, this means AI-powered automation that reduces admin overhead, embedded analytics that identify at-risk departments before productivity drops, and intelligent policy guidance available in any language.
The best systems provide self-service functionality allowing employees and managers to view calendars, entitlements, and book leave on any device, whilst analytics should deliver real-time insights on absence patterns and compliance risks. Key features include automated trigger points that highlight sickness patterns requiring attention, seamless integration with payroll and HR systems, and embedded People Analytics that provide actionable insights to diagnose trends
The most effective solutions integrate absence management within a comprehensive HR suite, ensuring single sign-on access and eliminating disconnected systems that create administrative burden for growing organisations.
You’ll have access to always-on support that covers both technical expertise and strategic guidance to help your HR suite deliver the ROI you expect.
After you go live with your system and depending on the level of support you require, you may be assigned a Dedicated Customer Success Manager to help you get the most out of your system, alongside a Technical Success Manager who provides proactive technical advice.
We offer contractual service commitments with rapid response guarantees to ensure any issues are handled swiftly. This is tailored to the level of support package you have.
Yes – we provide proactive system monitoring and preventive optimisation so potential issues are addressed before they impact performance.
