But when your workforce is forced to contend with outdated HR systems, email-based HR processes or even HR spreadsheets? Sometimes, it\u2019s easier for them to just ignore their holiday entitlement and work right on through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if this seems like a sneaky win, then think again. Did you know that according to research from the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, using annual leave actually improves employee productivity by up to 40%!? It reduces the risk of sick leave by 28%, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annual leave days, holidays, vacations, breaks&#8230; whatever you want to call them, SenseHR makes it easy for your team members to book them. Employees simply log in using any browser or their mobile app, and within seconds, their request is winging its way to the appropriate manager for approval. Entitlements are updated automatically in the background \u2013 and hey presto, you\u2019ve got yourself a well-oiled holiday booking system that your employees will love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still using clunky systems to track annual leave?
