What is the difference between absence management software and a staff holiday booking system?
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.
What is the best leave management system?
The best leave management system removes the complexity from managing staff holidays and absences, and provides advanced reporting, alerts and automation of manual tasks to empower HR teams and managers to handle absence efficiently.
Many businesses benefit from a leave management system that provides self-service functionality allowing employees and managers to view holiday calendars, entitlements and book leave on the go, on any device, at any time. The software should also include an employee holiday tracker function for streamlined visibility of holiday bookings across large teams.
Additional key features include real-time notifications to keep managers informed of holiday requests and absences or when changes are made, and system alerts and updates so when laws linked to absence change.
