The Four Key Benefits of Using Flamingo’s Leave Tracker

---

Flamingo is suitable for all businesses – whether you’re a small, early-stage startup, or an enterprise-level team.

The bigger your team, the more time you save by automating your leave management process, and the more value you get from using an app to track leave.

Leave Tracking For Small Businesses & Early Stage Startups

In a small business, every minute of your time and every piece of your energy is valuable.

The more data entry and busywork you have to do, the less energy you have for tasks that directly affect growth.

At this stage, you should automate anything you can. There’s no reason to spend even an hour a week on data entry, if a tool can do this for you.

Employee Leave Tracker Software vs Excel & Google Sheets

Many small businesses use a Google Sheets or Excel leave tracker to track paid time off.

Why not automate this process?

A modern leave management tool like Flamingo does everything a spreadsheet does for a fraction of the work. Best of all, it scales with you. As your business grows, your leave management system keeps up with you.

The larger your business, the more value you get from using Flamingo to manage and track leaves.
With a spreadsheet, you’ll soon reach a tipping point where you need to change to a different system.

Leave Tracking For Mid-Sized Businesses

When you have a double-digit or low triple-digit headcount, productivity and efficiency are vital.

Inefficient processes sap your profits and can result in missed deadlines, poor service and lost clients or customers.

A leave tracker ensures a key part of your business is hands-off and automated.

You’ll save time managing leave requests. Better yet, you’ll avoid scheduling conflicts and maintain productivity whenever team members go on leave.

• Flamingo’s vacation tracker dashboard keeps managers updated with all approved and pending leaves.
• You can sync Flamingo with calendar apps (Outlook, Apple or Google Calendar) to minimize task switching.
• Automatic notifications for employee leaves and official holidays keeps everyone in the loop and avoids confusion.

Leave Tracking For Large Businesses

Flamingo is perfect for large businesses where human resources and compliance matter most.

Deep, automated reporting gives your HR manager key insights into employee attendance, absences, and helps identify trends to follow up on.

Export all the data you need as a CSV, or view leave reports in just a few clicks via the web app.

Flamingo is built to improve employee wellness. Whatever insights you need to ensure all your employees are happy, healthy and avoid burning out, Flamingo has it.

How Flamingo Works

Here’s a step-by-step look at how Flamingo’s vacation tracker streamlines your leave management system.

• Employees request leave through a simple request form.
• Leave requests are sent to the necessary manager for approval.
• Once the request is approved, Flamingo updates your leave calendar and the employee’s leave balance.
• Flamingo keeps everyone updated by syncing leaves with your calendar and sending customizable daily and/or weekly notifications with upcoming leaves and holidays.
• Employees can view their outstanding leave balance, past and upcoming leaves, and make a new request from their own dedicated hub.
• Managers do the same to get the information they need to approve or deny requests, avoid scheduling conflicts and identify trends, all at a glance.
• Get reports on-demand through the Flamingo web app or smart commands in Slack. All data and reports are downloadable via CSV export.
