The Professional Services Solution to the Corporate Meeting

The meeting is a staple of the business world. Managers and employees gather in rooms amid large pieces of wooden furniture to discuss and plan the direction of the company.  Have you ever walked out of a meeting feeling like there was more to discuss or that not everyone took home the right message? When most meetings are done employees may not have the opportunity to continue discussions that were cut short due to time constraints or ask follow up questions that occurred to them after the meeting was over. This can leave employees feeling lost and frustrated.  Now there's a professional services solution that can improve the corporate meeting.

Empire LINKED software offers a social network designed to encourage discussion and conversation among your employees.  The project blogs are an ideal post-meeting forum to post presentations and notes for further discussion.  This allows managers to use meetings for initial presentation and comments, and then employees can reference the material and generate further conversation on the topic afterward.  Employees are often too intimidated to voice opinions in meetings or don't think of ideas or questions until after the meeting is over and the project blog gives them a chance to advance their ideas, ask questions and get invaluable information.

With Empire LINKED professional services software, this vital post-meeting discussion can exist in a place where everyone can participate.  Everyone involved can feel comfortable contributing their ideas and comments, thus getting more out of the meetings and improving the meeting results. Employees can also upload documents or graphs to aid in the discussion and improve the team's understanding of concepts and ideas therefore improving the overall productivity of the meeting. Not only does this increase involvement, but it generates and complies the meeting-generated documents for later future reference.

If you're tired of unproductive meetings that yield no results and generate little participation, then it's time to check out Empire LINKED and take your meetings to the next level.

Easily Keep Track of Employee Absence with Time Tracker

When everyone shows up to work every day and nobody calls in sick or takes a vacation, calculating and keeping track of time off is simple. However, in the real world people take sick days, vacation days, or just plain don't show up every now and then.  Tracking absenteeism can require an entire HR department, but with Empire TIME OFF time tracker software, the process is streamlined and easily managed.

Empire TIME OFF is a simple and easy to use program that eliminates often misplaced time off request and absence reporting forms. The program is accessible by both employees and managers and keeps track of time off requests, vacation balances, sick days, and unapproved absences, all in the same database. 

Time off requests are submitted and processed in Empire TIME OFF and e-mail requests are sent to both the supervisor and the employee so everyone is up to date on the request status. Approved requests are then displayed in a fully accessible schedule so everyone can see who is going to be on vacation and when. Since all time off requests can be viewed at a glance on the schedule, supervisors can easily make decisions on requested time off based on how many other employees will be on vacation at the same time. Employees can access their vacation accruals and available balances so they know exactly how much time they are permitted to take off at a given time, eliminating confusion for employees and managers alike.

Empire TIME OFF software streamlines the absence and vacation reporting processes and eliminates the forms and paperwork that travel around the office, and sometimes never get where they're supposed to. Empire TIME OFF allows for simple and mistake free time off request processing and absence reporting that can alleviate many of the headaches that go along with managing time off.
