Absence management partner
Smarter absence management, connected to your roster
When a member of staff calls in sick, it sets off a chain reaction across your roster, your team and your patients. GoodShape integrates directly with Allocate Optima and SafeCare, so absence data updates your workforce availability in real time. Your rostering teams can respond faster, maintain safe staffing levels and support your people from the moment they report an absence.
Why Choose GoodShape
Absence reduction built on data, not guesswork
GoodShape is not just a tool for logging that absences have happened. It is a platform for managing absence and driving measurable change. Used by NHS and independent health and care organisations, GoodShape has supported over one million employees and has been shown to reduce absence by an average of 24% in the first year, saving an average of £500 per employee per year.
Real-time absence capture
Absence data that flows straight into your roster
Staff can log absences 24/7 through GoodShape. The moment they do, workforce availability updates automatically in Allocate Optima and SafeCare. That means your rostering teams can adjust shifts in real time and maintain safe staffing levels, rather than finding out about gaps when the shift has already started.
Early intervention and staff wellbeing
Support your people from day one of absence
Absence is not just a rostering problem. It is a wellbeing signal. When a staff member logs an absence through GoodShape, they are automatically guided towards personalised support including self-care plans, wellbeing content and telehealth signposting. Managers receive alerts with return-to-work tools, policy guidance and referral management, all tracked for compliance.
Predictive workforce intelligence
Spot trends before they become problems
GoodShape uses AI-powered analytics to help you forecast future absence, identify high-risk departments and understand the root causes behind long-term sickness. When this intelligence feeds into your RLDatix workforce data, you get a joined-up view that supports better planning, targeted interventions and more informed decisions at board level.
Powerful Joint Benefits
Achieve more together
Combining GoodShape with RLDatix gives you a connected approach to absence management that links early intervention, real-time roster updates and workforce intelligence in one integrated workflow. You look after your people and keep your staffing levels safe at the same time.
