Productivity Loss: HR teams spend excessive time navigating complex leave policies, processing paperwork, and manually updating records, diverting attention from strategic HR initiatives.
Administrative Overhead: The administrative burdens of manual LOA management include data entry errors, delays in approvals, and challenges in maintaining accurate leave records across various systems.
