Answering Service Blog

Unless you work in health care, you probably aren’t particularly excited about dealing with sick people all day.

When you need to relay important information to employees, oftentimes it can be a huge challenge to do so fast and effectively. Many companies do this by making phone calls which get sent to voicemail. While others send emails that go unread.

Business management advice blogs and forums are abound with questions about how and why employees abuse their benefits and what can be done about it.

“But I DID call! It’s your fault, not mine, that you didn’t get the message.” Maybe they did call, maybe they didn’t, but either way you, as a manager, have a problem on your hands.

It's simply a fact of life. From time to time, employees are going to call in sick or have to miss work for another reason. And every time one of them does, it can wreak havoc on you as an HR manager.

When you’re a busy HR Manager at a mid-size to large company, staying on top of employee absences can be a burden.
