The Impact of Absenteeism on Manufacturing Productivity
Unplanned absences hurt production more than you think. Here’s how absenteeism affects OEE, how to measure lost productivity, and what manufacturing leaders can do about it.
The call-off solution that reduces absenteeism by up to 40%
Give your team the tools to make better attendance decisions and watch absenteeism plummet.
The first hour of a shift is our golden hour. You’ve got to hit your production rates that first hour, otherwise you’re behind the rest of the day and it’s difficult to catch up. TeamSense enables us to get a line of sight on attendance early on so that we can fill the gaps and get running right off the bat.

Show employees their attendance points and history before they call-off
Employees rarely know how many absences or attendance points they’ve accrued. With TeamSense, they see their points balance and complete attendance history before they request another absence.
Having accurate information in real-time clears up confusion and defuses potential disputes, creating a culture of accountability, transparency, and trust.
Just say no to the no call, no show
When employees fail to notify supervisors of their absence, it can disrupt normal operations and leave the rest of the team scrambling for coverage or playing catch-up.
Because TeamSense is easier than navigating complex phone trees and faster than waiting on hold with attendant-based systems, "No Call, No Shows" will become a thing of the past.
Sync data from your HRIS
TeamSense integrates with your systems to keep employee attendance records up-to-date, including points balances and absences.
