No more manual scheduling for your employees! Automate using Staff Scheduling software.

Do you know that HR managers and personnel are spending a lot of unnecessary time creating schedules manually?

Many industries, such as F&B, manufacturing and logistics, have chosen to adopt a scheduling software to address the issue and cut down on time wastage.

Scheduling software automates processes such as setting one-on-one appointments or holding monthly team meetings. This saves a significant amount of time for HR personnel, allowing them to focus on tasks with higher priorities.

1. Streamlined Operations

With an Online Employee Scheduling feature, businesses can change and create schedules through a simple drag and drop interface. Some scheduling software are also equipped with a Newsfeed feature, allowing employees to be kept informed about any schedule changes within the minute.

Scheduling software also serves as a central database for information storing, thereby providing quick access to shift details, leaves or absenteeism. By doing so, managers can make faster and more precise scheduling decisions.

2. Improved Employee Satisfaction & Retention

Businesses that still use traditional scheduling methods are definitely prone to potential human errors. This can lead to situations such as miscalculations of overtime pay or duplicated schedules and shifts, in turn creating employee grievances and dissatisfaction.

In most circumstances, heavy workloads and tight scheduling issues have been the top drivers for burnout. With automated scheduling software, it becomes easier to prevent employee burnout, reduce staff turnover and save costs on recruiting and training of new staff. Businesses can avoid such issues through the software’s workload management and schedule monitoring functions.

3. Full Compliance

Scheduling software is designed to ensure employment-related statutory rights, such as overtime pay, rest days, days of leave etc, are compliant to local regulations. This includes compliance with local labour laws, union rules, industry regulations, as well as certification requirements.

Most scheduling software also provides detailed schedule reports. HR managers can create a comprehensive audit trail using the data generated from these reports. In situations where manpower documents are required for official evidence, such audit trails can be extremely useful. Complete information on the schedule history can help to resolve employee disputes or even conflicts.

4. Workforce Flexibility

Scheduling software provides managers with the tools to manage manpower efficiently. Such tools include automated time-tracking, project monitoring, and live progress updates. This will help to minimise internal manpower wastage.

In addition, having a scheduling software helps HR personnel to manage temporary manpower better. It will be a breeze to plan rosters where we need to utilise contingent workers to fill manpower insufficiencies.

It is important to ask the following questions when selecting a scheduling software:

1. In case of internet connection disruptions, can the software keep your operations running smoothly?
2. Does the software provide tools to improve employee satisfaction and retention?
3. Is the software compliant with local labour laws?
4. Does the software allow you to make smarter scheduling decisions?
