Streamline staff leave and claims for happy and productive employees
One of the more tedious tasks on the SME owner’s to-do list is managing staff leave and claims but Essentials Worfklow automates the process so you can focus on growing your business.
Managing staff leave and claims is an important part of any company’s workflow, but can be tedious and time consuming. It doesn’t have to be. One way to make the whole process quicker and simpler is to automate and use cloud systems. If you’re wondering whether a software solution to your claims processes is a good fit, consider the following plus points:
More efficiency, less time-intensive paperwork
With a one-time setup of your company’s leave and claim policies into a centralised system, you can approve and track leave and claim applications anytime, anywhere, automatically. From an easy to read dashboard business owners can get an at-a-glance snapshot of the team's absence, month-to-date claims and pending applications. Employers are also able to set up account rights for department heads so they can approve leave and claims for the employees they're responsible for.
Happy employees equals more productivity
Different studies have shown that happier employees are more productive at work. You can keep your employees happy by approving their claims and leave quickly with just a few clicks. They’ll get a real-time update following your approval. Suddenly, “sorry, I must have misplaced your form”, won’t happen anymore because you can’t lose a form in the cloud!
Your employees can attach medical certificates or claim receipts directly in the system, and don’t have to worry about their colleagues finding hard copies containing sensitive medical information around the office. They just need to take a photo of their receipt or certificate on their handphone and then upload instantly.
Planning ahead equals less business downtime
Apps such as Singtel myBusiness' Essentials Workflow (E.Workflow) are also a great way for companies to plan in advance for staff leave, avoiding business downtime or even loss of revenue. Having an overview of your staff availability will make it easier to decide whether you need to re-organise or hire temp staff.
When it comes to claims employers are able to easily track the approval process. Employers can keep an eye on costs and easily make sure only claims that meet the business policy are approved.
