Overview:

The company, with over 300 employees, built a custom Leave Tracking System using Microsoft Power Apps. Before this, employees depended on manual forms and emails. This system caused errors, delays, and a lack of transparency. The company needed a more efficient solution to manage leave requests.

Hurdle:

The old system was slow and error-prone. Employees struggled to track leave balances, and HR couldn’t manage requests efficiently. There was no real-time visibility. The company needed a solution to speed up approvals, reduce errors, and improve transparency.

The Approach:

The company developed an easy-to-use Leave Management App. Employees submit requests, managers approve them, and HR tracks everything in real time. The app automated manual tasks and improved overall efficiency.

• Real-Time Leave Balance Tracking: Employees can check their leave balance instantly, ensuring accuracy in requests.
• Automated Notifications: Managers get real-time updates for approvals. Employees are notified immediately of status changes.
• Detailed Reporting: HR gains real-time insights into leave trends and employee availability, improving decision-making.

Consequence Review:

• Higher Employee Satisfaction: Employees appreciated the transparency and quick response times, leading to a 30% increase in HR satisfaction scores.
• Time Savings for Managers: Managers saved 25% of their time on leave management thanks to the app’s centralized dashboard.
• Enhanced HR Efficiency: HR reduced administrative time by over 40%, allowing them to focus on more strategic initiatives.

Final Reflection:

The Leave Management App streamlined the entire process. It improved accuracy, reduced delays, and enhanced transparency for employees, managers, and HR. Building on this success, the company plans to use Microsoft Power Apps to optimize other areas of the business.
