Staff Attendance Management for Events
Introduction:
Managing staff attendance for sports events can be a logistical challenge. Abler's new feature simplifies this process, providing a clear and efficient way to track coach and assistant presence, ensuring smoother event planning and execution.
The Problem: Staff Attendance Challenges
Coordinating staff for sports events often involves:
✔️ Last-minute uncertainty about who will attend.
✔️ Difficulties in adjusting plans when staff are absent.
✔️ Lack of clear communication, leading to organisational issues.
✔️ Inability to track attendance trends for future event planning.
Abler’s new Staff Attendance Management feature addresses these challenges head-on.
Feature Highlights:
✔️ Admins and Head Coaches can now mark staff members as Present or Absent for each event.
✔️ Staff members are automatically set to “attending” by default, saving time and reducing manual input.
✔️ Ability to easily add or remove staff from events.
✔️ Coach cards within event views will now display “Absent” if the coach is marked absent (no need to guess or double-check!).
✔️ A dedicated Staff Attendance Report in the web interface.
Benefits:
✔️ For Admins: Quick confirmation of coach attendance status. Easy management of staff participation per event. Improved oversight and reporting capabilities.
✔️ For Head Coaches: Clear visibility of which assistants and staff members are attending. Ability to manage and adjust staff lists as needed for upcoming events.
✔️ For Coaches & Assistants: Clear communication on attendance expectations. Visibility on attendance status so they can plan accordingly.
✔️ For Parents & Players: Reassurance that events are well-organised and staffed with the right coaches present.
✔️ For Club Members in General: Increased confidence in club event management and transparency.
✔️ Reporting: The new reporting function allows for clear tracking of staff attendance throughout the whole season. [Include a screenshot of the new staff attendance report here]
✔️ Overall Impact: This feature leads to more organized events, improved communication, and greater confidence among club members.
Usage Tips:
By default, staff are marked as attending — only update the status when someone is absent.
To mark attendance, simply navigate to the event, select the staff member, and choose either Coach Present or Coach Absent.
Keep staff lists clean by adding or removing staff members as necessary for each event.
Use the upcoming Staff Attendance Report (WEB) to review historical attendance trends and ensure coverage for future events.
