Based on the theory that short, frequent and unplanned absences prove more disruptive to a business than longer, approved absences, HR departments worldwide calculate employee’s Bradford factors to illustrate and understand absenteeism.
The Bradford Factor Calculator allows HR departments to automatically calculate individual scores. With these scores, businesses can spot absence patterns and engage with employees early to find mutually beneficial solutions. The tool integrates with standard HR software such as Workable, Charlie HR or HiBob to keep all scores in the HR department’s main source of record and can be connected to email tools to notify managers to take action.
Background
Frequent, unplanned and short absences may prove highly disruptive to a business which makes it essential for HR departments to spot and understand these absences in order to engage with individual employees and find solutions. The Bradford Factor constitutes a standard method to assess this type of absenteeism across the business but calculating these scores for individuals can prove very time-consuming for HR departments.
With BRYTER, companies can build a Bradford Factor Calculator that is tailored to their specific score systems and custom triggers to quickly assess absences across the business. The HR user can assess individual scores or run assessments across the whole of a department or business at once by inputting key information in an interactive questionnaire. The underlying logic of the tool then automatically performs the calculations and provides a full report of the results to the user. Our business reporting software can be fully integrated into existing HR infrastructure and email tools to maintain one source of truth and to ensure quick resolution of any detected risks by automatically notifying managers.
