Absence management system

Hi,

We are a small size organisation (Approximately 500). Currently, we use excel sheets to manage absences but are looking to buy a Global absence management software. Can anyone help with some recommendations? Also, how would you typically go about looking for one?

Thankyou

Shweta

    Hi Shweta

    Do you have an HRIS and is there a bolt-on module tht would go with it? I'd also find out what system your Finance department uses and whether that has an absence management module - it's always an advantage to have systems that will talk to each other!

    Hi Elizabeth,

    Thankyou for your reply.

    We do have an HRIS system in place but looks like the system is not compatible with Absence Management which is weird. I think our finance team uses the same system that we use for HRIS but will check. Thankyou for the advice :).

    I use e-days which whilst we're smaller than you, is capable of managing thigns much more complex that we throw at it! Our team took to it really easily which was a bonus so from the user experience it's well designed. I've found the support end very responsive.

    Thanks for this suggestion Joanne - I was following the thread (thanks Shweta) as we're looking at introducing something like this. Really we need a full HRIS, but this might be a good first step while the bigger project is deliberated on ... E-days looks like it might be a good solution.

    Hello Shweta

    My previous company introduced Breathehr, its a cheap workforce system that records absences really well.

    Sarah Hamilton-Gill is the MD of Breathehr and will support.

    Thanks

    Hi Nina
    Mention me to them if you dig into it - they have a referral scheme! We're a charity so also looking at BreatheHR as they offer their system free to charities. That's probably the only way I'm going to get a full HRIS anytime soon!
