Workforce management platform: Updated Time Module in Workdeck® for Smarter Workforce Management

Innovation

Managing leaves efficiently is critical for maintaining smooth project workflows, even when team members need to step away. At Workdeck®, a workforce management platform, we’re introducing a powerful new feature in the Time Module called "My Leaves," which helps employees organize leave requests clearly and effectively. This update ensures that tasks and responsibilities are seamlessly reassigned, keeping productivity uninterrupted.

“My Leaves” is a structured solution within Workdeck® designed for users to request, track, and manage their leaves. With this functionality, employees can notify their managers ahead of time, enabling streamlined planning and ensuring that responsibilities are effectively covered.

How Does the "My Leaves" Feature Work?

Step 1: Navigate to the Time Module

Access the Time Module in Workdeck® and select the “My Leaves” option. This section lets users manage their leave requests with ease and clarity.

Step 2: Choose the Type of Leave

Employees can specify their leave type, choosing from options like:

  • Vacation
  • Sick Leave
  • Work-Related Events (e.g., trade shows, conferences)

By clearly labeling the type of leave, HR and managers gain instant clarity on its purpose, aiding in workload planning and resource allocation.

Step 3: Specify Leave Period and Project

Define the exact dates of your leave to provide managers a clear view of potential project impact. If the leave is associated with a specific project, link it accordingly for better resource management.

View Pending Responsibilities During Leave

A key feature of “My Leaves” is its ability to display all scheduled tasks during the selected leave period. This preview allows employees to evaluate whether the timing is ideal or adjustments are needed.

Managers can also use this feature to identify which tasks require reassignment, ensuring smooth operations even in the absence of a team member.

Submit Leave Request and Reassign Tasks

Once all details are confirmed, submitting a leave request is as simple as clicking “Request.” Managers receive instant notifications with all necessary information, including pending tasks. This allows for timely, structured task reassignment.
