Mr. Fantom 2024 Review- Manage the Absence of Your Team

---

Different studies found that workers feel overwhelmed when it comes to workload management. Only 20 percent believe that their workload is under control and 21 percent feel that their work is never under control. Another study found that UK employees procrastinate for two hours and 11 minutes each day because the work is boring or they don't have a self-discipline system.

These facts tell us that the management or administration of an institute needs to have less workload to remain active and avoid procrastination. But, there is one thing in managers’ lives that is unavoidable: managing the absentees of their team.

Let's suppose a manager enters their office with high spirits and a huge to-do list in their mind. They opened the laptop but found a few emails from their team who needed a leave today. He would open a spreadsheet, start reading the emails, approving or disapproving them, and write the names with their reason for absence in the spreadsheet. Creating that spreadsheet manually would take him a lot of time and all the enthusiasm to work goes into water. A study supported this by saying that 51 percent of workers spend workdays on low to no-value tasks. Because 82 percent of them don't have a time management system.

To resolve this issue to some extent, Mr.Fantom is helping managers handle the absent requests of their team members. This app is automating this task, saving managers from unnecessary workloads and businesses from wasting time and resources on this low-value task.
