Responsibilities

LOA Data Analysis & Trend Identification

Conduct descriptive, diagnostic, and predictive analysis on LOA data:

Descriptive: Track key LOA metrics (e.g., total LOA cases per quarter, average leave duration by type, department-wise leave rate, approval/rejection rate)

Diagnostic: Investigate anomalies (e.g., sudden spikes in medical leave in a specific team, unusually long unpaid leave) and identify root causes (e.g., workplace stress, seasonal illnesses, policy gaps)

Predictive: Forecast future leave demand (e.g., peak parental leave periods, Q4 sick leave trends) to support workforce planning

Analyze LOA impact on business operations (e.g., project delays due to key employee leave) and quantify associated costs (e.g., payroll for paid leave, hiring temporary staff)

Reporting & Visualization

Develop regular (weekly/monthly/quarterly) LOA reports and dashboards for stakeholders (HR leaders, department managers, executives) using tools like Tableau, Power BI, Excel, or SQL

Translate complex data insights into clear, actionable recommendations (e.g., “Parental leave duration in Engineering is 20% longer than company average—suggest updating policy to align with team needs”)

Present analysis results in meetings (e.g., quarterly HR reviews) and tailor communication to non-technical audiences

Policy Optimization & Compliance Support

Evaluate the effectiveness of existing LOA policies (e.g., “Is the new mental health leave policy reducing unplanned sick days?”) using data metrics and employee feedback

Provide data support for policy updates (e.g., adjusting paid leave limits, adding new leave types) to ensure alignment with labor laws (e.g., FMLA, EU Working Time Directive) and industry best practices

Collaborate with HRBP teams to communicate policy changes to employees and track adoption rates (e.g., how many employees use the new bereavement leave benefit)

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with payroll teams to ensure LOA data integrates with payroll processes (e.g., accurate calculation of paid leave wages, deduction for unpaid leave)

Work with department managers to address team-specific LOA issues (e.g., high leave turnover in Customer Service) and develop targeted solutions (e.g., cross-training staff for backup)

Liaise with tech teams to enhance HRIS functionality for LOA data tracking (e.g., adding custom fields for leave reason codes, automating leave request workflows)
