The Costly Impact of Employee Absenteeism on Manufacturing Operations
Boost productivity with attendance you can count on
Stop scrambling and start your shifts on time. GMs hit their daily production targets. Supervisors focus on production, and HR can focus on engagement.
Optimize efficiency by reducing overtime and overstaffing
With more predictable staffing, GMs can reduce overstaffing and overtime expenses. TeamSense shows employees their points and attendance history before calling off–reducing absenteeism and no call, no shows.
Inspire engagement with a digital bridge to hourly workers
Text-based call-offs establish a digital connection. Site leaders can communicate or send questionnaires instantly to teams of thousands. This two-way communication improves engagement, loyalty, and employee satisfaction.
Only TeamSense reduces absenteeism with transparency
We run 24x7 operations...Getting that information on who's here, who's not going to be here, and who's going to get here late factors into how we plan to keep the lines running.

Other call-off systems don’t reduce absenteeism
Don’t make employees call supervisors directly
Supervisors get absence alerts via text. No more phone tag before shift starts.
Free up supervisors from micromanaging call-offs
Supervisors should focus on shift planning, not taking calls or listening to voicemails.
Calling an operator: the worst of all worlds
Employees resent hold times and language barriers with attendant-based services.
Making call-off easier actually boosts productivity
End the No Call, No Show
Unannounced absences (called "No Call, No Shows") harm productivity, efficiency and employee engagement. When call-off takes seconds with an easy text, more employees use it, so you'll know who's in and who's out.
Absenteeism and No Call, No Shows hurt the whole team
General Managers
Attendance uncertainty harms reliable operations and the GM’s bottom line. TeamSense call-off makes staffing predictable.
Team Leaders
Team Leaders shouldn’t have to pick up the phone for call-offs. TeamSense stops the calls and records the absences automatically.
HR Representatives
HR teams spend hours a week on pre-shift attendance checks. TeamSense shows HR who’s out today, and every day, forever.
Hourly Employees
If calling off takes more than a few seconds, many decide not to call. When communication flows easily, everyone feels heard.

TeamSense uses technology our team is comfortable with. I have not had a single person come into my office to complain about getting a text. The system just works and is accepted.
