Track Your Districts Data lp hero

You likely have a strategy for managing your employee absences by data?

If your district is currently managing employee absences using a paper-based system or a program that makes data difficult to access, implementing and maintaining a data-driven strategy for managing employee time would be quite a task.

Frontline Absence & Time gives you the power to:

  • Track employee absence and substitute attendance data
  • Compare your district’s data to national and state benchmarks
  • Discover trends over time to better understand staff absences
  • Check whether new policies or initiatives are making a measurable impact

Powerful Reporting

With Frontline Absence & Time, you gain unprecedented visibility into employee attendance across the district. You can keep an eye on what’s happening in real time and explore patterns within your district’s data.

The Absence Trend Analysis Report, gives you visibility into early indicators so you can make informed decisions about budget and new initiatives at the district or building level.

Exclusive Benchmarking

See your data side-by-side with nationally published benchmarks from the Frontline Research & Learning Institute. This lets you understand how your district stacks up against others across the country, in your state or of the same size. This data is only available through Frontline, and is easily accessed right from the absence & substitute management system.

Better Health and Attendance with Data from Frontline Absence & Time

Measuring Impact at Emporia Public Schools

At Emporia, former Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources Dr. Andy Koenigs led the charge to start a wellness program from scratch. Because the district used Frontline Absence & Time, he was able to track the effects of the program on employee absences. He was able to measure impact through the system:

Total absenteeism rates decreased by 16 percent

Absences due to medical appointments decreased by 22 percent

Absences due to illness decreased by 30 percent

Improved Attendance at Livingston-Parish Public Schools

After being hit with catastrophic flooding, Livingston-Parish needed to rebuild continuity and conserve funds Bruce Chaffin, the district’s Supervisor of Human Resources, created an incentive for the school with the highest attendance rate at the end of the year.

Data about his district’s staff absences and substitute attendance was at his fingers through Frontline’s system, so Bruce tracked the impact of the incentive program.  He found that every school in the district had an attendance rate of over 94% — much improved.

And the impact on district resources? Using Frontline Absence & Time, Bruce reported that the district saved $80,000 on substitute wages in the first 39 days of school alone, and over $100,000 in the first 60 days compared to 2015*. 

*No 2016 comparison, as the district lost a month of school due to flooding.

“Thank goodness for Frontline’s Absence Management program, because that data is immediately at my fingertips… I’m able to go in the report section and run a report each month. It takes me about 30 minutes to do 44 sites and come up with the percentages for the schools.”

– Bruce Chaffin
