Workbrain Announces Comprehensive Workforce Absence Solution
Robust compliance and case management capabilities enable companies to manage and mitigate effects of absenteeism
| Toronto - March 13, 2007 - Workbrain, the leading provider of workforce management solutions for large enterprises (TSX:WB), today announced the launch of Absence Management, the first module of its new Workforce Absence application. Built with input from leading clients and product advisory councils, the solution automates and integrates the entire absence and leave management process. The software allows organizations to manage, report and analyze even the most complex absences and employee leaves for unprecedented visibility and insight into patterns and trends, and control over both the direct costs and hidden impacts of absenteeism. “No one knows the challenges of absence management that face businesses today as well as the companies themselves,” said David Stein, Chief Strategy Officer at Workbrain. “Verizon Communications, one of our very first Absence Management clients, provided key input throughout our development process. This real-world perspective helps us deliver solutions that will serve our clients. Connecting with our clients during development is particularly important because traditional absence management solutions have typically underserved organizations that need visibility into the impacts of absenteeism, and the control over its associated direct and indirect costs.” Verizon Communications, a leader in delivering broadband and other wireline and wireless communication innovations, is currently implementing Workbrain’s total workforce management solution. Web Seminar Showcases New Solution Workbrain Workforce Absence automates 100% of complex leave management processes to significantly increase productivity, reduce administrative loads and improve employee satisfaction. The solution further reduces the costs and errors associated with manual processes with its unique ability to handle intermittent leave with “zero-touch” leave management. Full audit trails and tracking provide the means to easily demonstrate compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley obligations, Department of Labor regulations, union rules and other legislative policies. |
