Case Study: Purdue University improves leave compliance and employee experience with AbsenceSoft

Purdue University Improves Leave Compliance and Employee Experience Across Three Campuses

Purdue University, a public research university with over 15,000 employees across three campuses, faced challenges managing a rising volume of complex leave requests. Their outdated process, which relied on manual data entry, spreadsheets, and mailed paper packets, was inefficient and difficult to keep compliant. To modernize their leave program, the university selected the AbsenceSoft platform.

By implementing AbsenceSoft, the university automated its entire leave management process. The solution provided pre-loaded data, auto-generated documents, and automated workflow checklists, which saved staff significant time on administrative tasks. AbsenceSoft's reporting tool, Insights, also reduced the time to compile monthly metrics from several hours to just 15 minutes. Overall, the teams saved between one to two hours per case, reduced process time by 35% for some tasks, and improved compliance and consistency across all three campuses.
