During the summer it reminds us that, for most employees, the highlight of the year comes when they are able to take their vacation. However, recent studies show that more Americans are working throughout the year without taking a break. This is attributed to being overwhelmed with job responsibilities and not wanting to have to catch up after being away. But health experts say that it is important for people to take time off for physical, mental and psychological reasons.
Providing an easy, automated workflow system that allows employees to easily schedule time off may help take away some of the anxiety of leaving work responsibilities. Sage Abra’s Employee Self Service software (Abra ESS) makes it easy for employees, managers and administrators to manage time-off requests. Employees can access their personal data anytime via the internet or an intranet to create, edit or delete time-off requests while also managing time-off balances, attendance plans and absence transactions. Managers and supervisors can then approve the requests without viewing other sensitive employee information.
Abra ESS protects sensitive employee data using password protection, SQL server database security, and an encrypted Sage Abra HRMS database. Abra ESS supports 128-bit SSL encryption to protect data transmitted over the Internet. Users may also tailor the Abra ESS system through customization tools while creating a central portal for employees to access important company information.
The automated process and online accessibility also eliminates the frustration of waiting on people, memos or other types of paper trail. So, employees should take their time off as it helps their overall well being and thus their contribution to the company. Employees who are able to use their allotted vacation time will also be more satisfied because they are able to receive their full benefits. And, satisfied employees create a happier and more productive environment in the workplace which is something everyone wants.
