3 | 8Simplify and enhanceworkforce operationsModern workforce operations depend on three corecapabilities that work together to simplify how work getsdone, especially for frontline and shift-based teams: Absence management provides a clear view ofemployee absence types, helping organizations manageavailability and apply policies consistently (see Figure 1). Time and attendance records employee working hoursto support accurate payroll processing, compliance, andcontrol of labor costs (see Figure 2).

From vacationand sick leave to maternity, paternity, and other absencetypes, teams can apply consistent processes whilemeeting local requirements.Across devices, employees can request time off, viewbalances, and plan leave without back-and-forth emails.At the same time, managers can see who’s off and what’spending, making it easy to plan coverage and prevent last-minute understaffing (see Figure 4). HR teams benefit fromautomated accruals, country-specific rules, and payrollintegrations that help eliminate manual calculations andsupport correct pay each time.Absence data updates instantly across scheduling, timetracking, and payroll, while dashboards and reports revealtrends, identify coverage risks, and support smarterworkforce planning.
