Calling in sick? Calling out sick? Seems bizarre that these two opposite-sounding terms essentially have the same definition, depending on what region of North America you are in!
Regardless of what terminology you are familiar with, the universal certainty about absence workflows & tracking is the significant set of challenges it presents. Traditional absence management solutions are (at best) clunky and fragmented, collecting sick call details with basic standalone IVR technology, disconnected spreadsheets and even post-it notes!
In complex, high-volume environments, each absence becomes another drop in a seemingly bottomless bucket. This massive problem is compounded further by a worldwide pandemic that has caused absence rates to explode in magnitude. At the height of the Omicron variant, one Andgo customer had over 3,000 sick calls in a single day!
It is simply not feasible to categorize and prioritize which absences are the highest priorities to address without centralized, organization-wide visibility of all employee absences. Quick Dial equips organizations with a holistic view of every employee's sick call, in an accessible, updated dashboard view.

Beyond updating the schedule, every single absence that comes in triggers a whole host of additional questions:
Addressing all of these items manually for each and every absence is extremely tedious, inefficient and error-prone. Quick Dial answers all of these questions with pre-configured rules and logic, so you don’t have to.
