South Lanarkshire Council Enhance Oracle HR Self Service User Experience by Implementing Applaud Solutions' Absence Planner

London, United Kingdom, April 23, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Having successfully deployed a simple view and update of basic HR records via Oracle HR Self Service , South Lanarkshire Council were looking to realise efficiencies and cost savings with Self Service Absence Bookings in an overall drive to minimise absence / maximise attendance.

A feature was required that allowed managers to quickly review the availability of their team at a glance, in order to approve or reject leave requests.

The Self Service Absence Planner from Applaud Solutions was found to deliver requirements, offering a graphical view of availability, incorporating training as well as absence, fitting in with South Lanarkshire’s use of Oracle Learning Management.
