After Dinner Speaker - Gyles Brandreth

The evening was served up with a treat as after dinner speaker Gyles Brandreth was in top form and delighted us all with his wit, charm and hilarious stories. After the awards presentations he visited the WhosOff table and chatted with the crew.  

A special thank you to you, our customers... 

As these awards are judged by the users of the software, we would like to make a personal thank you to all of our customers. You took the time to vote for our service and we can only promise to keep the level of satisfaction within WhosOff and push forward to making your working duties that little bit easier.

Looking forward 

Whilst we are looking forward to more awards evenings, with the chance of bringing home more silverware, we are always focused on maintaining our customer relationships and pushing WhosOff forward to aid those responsible for HR roles within companies.

Imagine using WhosOff.com


Imagine, you’re at home, in the evening  and the missus (or the mister)  is asking about your summer holiday. They’ve found a deal and what to know if you can take time off.
What do you do? Easy, you go online, see Who’s off and put in a request. Your approver gets notified straight away, and, if they’re connected, they can approve your holiday online or via our Whosoff  mobile App in minutes, or at the very least  you’ve got your holiday request in, and , because the Staff leave is transparent, you know it won’t be a problem.
Imagine you’re the person managing  the business staff leave and holidays. More than likely you are  in spreadsheet hell or Wall planner pain. Who’s off today ?, tomorrow ?, next week ?, next year? It’s basically a form filling , time consuming, hassle fest , very often causing distress and upset all round.
Then you find WhosOff.com – there’s a free 2 month trial so you can try the system without obligation. You upload your staff, allocate leave entitlements and bingo...everybody’s dealing with holiday themselves.They request, it gets approved or declined, it gets logged. Boom! – no hassle, no arguments. The ‘Staff Holiday’ Spreadsheet forever consigned to the lesser reaches of your directory system.
WhosOff.com is a leading online Staff leave planner – it’s a great low cost tool for business – we’re helping SME’s across the  UK (and the World) manage staff leave and holiday via the web and mobile Apps. Nearly 40,000 active users use the service from  smaller business with less than 10 employees to blue chips with over 1000 staff members.
And why do businesses use WhosOff.com ? Because it’s easy, efficient , cost effective and takes the hassle out of staff leave.
We are not like most web services. We like to think our service and support is second to none – more often than not we telephone people to help rather than exchanging emails. Whosoff.com is that sort of customer focused business.
We ‘re not from Silicon Valley, or Silicon Roundabout – we are a self financed tech company from Canterbury, England  – making a success of B2B.

New features - Dashboard and Approvers

At WhosOff we continue to use customer feedback to improve the WhosOff service and the last few weeks have seen some further updates to the system to give users even more visibility and functionality on Staff leave and absence.

On the Dashboard

In the 'Who's Off Today' area we have added the option to select any day and quickly see who's off on that day.

There is also a new tab here which list those people for whom it is a 'Non' working day.

Approvers

You can now set approvers to be able to Add/Edit leave for their own staff. Adminsitrators can set Approvers to be able to Add leave in the future ( but not the past) or Add/Edit/Delete leave in the past and future. (The default setting is not being able to add leave for anyone)
