Key Workforce Scheduling Benefits
Technology Helps You Build Better Schedules
Even with the vast array of technology available, many organizations are still building schedules in spreadsheets and posting a printed schedule on the wall. But what happens when schedules change? The reality is schedules are volatile and fluctuate daily. Organizations need integrated shift scheduling systems for a technology-driven world. When developing workforce schedules, managers should be able to view time-off requests, time and attendance data, including exceptions, and past schedule information.

Workforce Scheduling Software Capabilities
A study by the Society for Human Resource Management found that 36% of organizations practiced workforce planning in 2020, which is up considerably from previous years. With more companies analyzing their workforce to determine how to prepare for future staffing needs, HR functions need data and tools they can leverage to provide answers and make plans, especially during challenging times. There are vital features to consider when looking at a scheduling system such as access for employees to view schedules online, flexibility to pivot shift coverage when changes occur and interdepartmental communication for better visibility.
