Efficiency

With minimal training, employees can access personal information, request leave and view work schedules or holiday balances – this reduces the number of queries to HR and line managers.

Managers receive an email notification when employees request leave and approve those requests directly through email – which improves response times, reduces admin and keeps employees satisfied.
