Helping organisations engage with their employees, care for their wellbeing, reduce burnout and offer support.
Provide a better employee absence experience
Transforming absence for businesses worldwide.
Boost your employee absence experience
Planned and unplanned absences are inevitable in all organisations, and everyone needs to take time off from work every now and then, whether to enjoy a break or to recover from sickness.
edays lets employees view their holiday entitlement and make annual leave requests, which managers can then approve with ease. Our mobile app means requesting and approving leave can be done even faster anywhere, any time.
Records of sickness absences can also be logged quickly, along with a reason for the absence, enabling managers to keep an accurate track of who is off, check in with employees who are unwell, and facilitate their return to work.
Enhance employee support through absence alerts and wellbeing tools
Our user-friendly dashboards, group calendar and reporting system lets managers view who has been off and when. Trigger alerts allow managers to be notified when a set number of recurring absences have happened, leading to positive action being taken to ensure an employee’s wellbeing.
For UK users, managers can send NHS guidance and advice to any employee who is absent due to illness, allowing you to offer extra support as they recover.
We also partner with Doctor Care Anywhere – a platform employees can use to book a virtual GP appointment whenever they need it, by video or phone. For organisations that utilise an employee assistance programme, this can be linked into your edays platform for employees to take advantage of any extra health and wellbeing support you offer.
Our secure document storage portal also lets you keep HR documents such as absence and leave policies and return-to-work forms all in one place, with your choice of who can access them.
