Absenteeism costs US businesses billions annually. According to the CDC, absenteeism results in an estimated $225.8 billion loss in productivity in the US each year.
Let’s take a look at how Job&Talent Business platform is proven to reduce absenteeism with our top 5 favourite features.
Roster your most reliable people using data
Job&Talent Business has profiles for each worker. The profile has an overall rating, like ride-sharing platforms. However, we go further, showing a worker’s ‘response rate’, ‘attendance score’ giving you a holistic view of their reliability and quality.
When you’re rostering shifts, using these metrics, managers can make more informed decisions about who to assign.
When you have a clear view of each worker’s reliability and quality, you can schedule your most dependable and high-performing workers.
This proactive approach reduces the likelihood of absenteeism and maintains operational efficiency.
Send push notifications to confirm shifts
Job&Talent Business sends workers push notifications to confirm they’ll attend shifts ahead of time.
Once they confirm they’ll attend, the supervisor is notified. The supervisor’s shift list instantly updates with who has confirmed, cannot attend, or hasn’t responded.
Supervisors then have certainty that they can meet fulfillment, and react quickly to change if someone cannot attend, or has not responded.
View shift lists with live data
Through the company app, supervisors get live data showing the status of every person in past, current and future shifts.
With this data, supervisors can proactively eliminate absenteeism before shifts even start. If they still have no responses, they can quickly reassign work to other people using the edit shift feature.
And as the shift starts, you get a live list of who has clocked in and on site. We tell you precisely when they clocked in, and geo-location confirms that the person physically clocked in on site.
This visibility helps you maintain operations without disruptions.
Use gamified clocking to boost engagement
Reduce absenteeism by engaging workers with gamified clocking.
When a worker clocks in and out on time, their 'attendance score' increases. They receive instant feedback in the app, notifying them if they have or have not met your expectations.
This real-time feedback acts as a reward or penalty. For those who are consistently doing the right thing, it motivates them to maintain punctuality. And for anyone who is late, doesn't clock in or is absent without a valid reason, gamified clocking nudges them and gives tips to improve their behaviour.
This approach not only fosters a more engaged workforce but also leads to a proven decrease in absenteeism and increase in overall productivity.
Rehire past workers who have proven to be reliable
The Hiring tab in the app is designed to help you improve the quality of your workforce by rehiring strong performers based on key performance data.
You can easily filter through the list of past workers, viewing their ratings, attendance scores, and the date of their last job. This data-driven approach ensures you are selecting the best candidates.
Each profile provides more detailed information about their previous jobs and performance, helping you make accurate, data-led rehiring decisions.
Additionally, the Rehire button allows you to instantly send rehire requests, streamlining the process. For even greater efficiency, you can review and rehire multiple past workers with just a few taps, significantly reducing the administrative effort and time required to bring back quality employees.
