According to some embodiments, systems and methods are provided including a computer processor; and a computer memory, coupled to the computer processor, storing instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the back-end application computer server to: receive an absence planning request from a first user; receive data for the first user from the data store and at least one of a first third-party platform and a second third-party platform; extract data from the received data for the first user; apply an absence planning algorithm to the extracted data to dynamically generate an absence plan; and output the generated absence plan; and a communication port coupled to the back-end application computer server to facilitate a transmission of data with remote user devices to support interactive user interface displays, including the absence plan, via a distributed communication network. Numerous other aspects are provided.
