Effective absence management is always essential in the NHS to minimise the costs and risks of absence. During the pandemic it has taken on additional importance and can help NHS Trusts not just support staff better but speed up and ensure the safety of staff returns to work.
Empactis Absence Manager already offers a powerful absence management capability to NHS Trusts. It was adapted and enhanced rapidly to meet the priorities of COVID-19 absence management and reporting at existing customer Trusts. This capability is now available out of the box for other Trusts.
“During COVID-19, the Absence Manager system underpinned our internal and central SitRep reporting. Without the system, this would have been a manual data collection exercise which would have been hugely resource intensive at a time when our services were at their most stretched.”
