• If you own a business of any size, youll
  doubtless already have begun to appreciate just
  how important your employees are, to its success.
  Cultivating a work environment that encourages
  productivity while taking care of the needs of
  the staff, is vital for the longevity of any
  company, and profits can only be made if youre
  getting the most out of your employees.
• Achieving this is only possible with a proactive
  human resources management plan, and this should
  include scheduling software. Scheduling software
  makes life easier for everyone involved, as

• Install scheduling software
• Its now possible to send alerts and messages to
  your staff, with the broadcast messaging feature
  that is now available in scheduling software.
  Trying to organize cover for shifts or for any
  matter in which you need to get messages across
  to your employees quickly, can be a nightmare,
  but with this system, communication alerts to
  multiple people is made easy, and messages can be
  accessed via email, text or phone calling.

• Give your employees more control over their
  working schedule
• Flexible schedules will almost always be
  appealing to employees, particularly if they have
  childcare or any other such responsibilities
  outside of the workplace, and with scheduling
  software, theyre now able to swiftly request
  time off or swap shifts with their colleagues. A
  simple click enables a staff member to send an
  alert to their manager, who can then review the
  request and respond quickly. The entire process
  is made more streamlined, and with space for
  comments or suggestions to be made when using the
  software, communication is further encouraged
  between managers and their staff, which can only
  ever have a positive impact on inter staff and
  managerial relations.

• Manage staff absences quickly
• Last minute absences from employees can threaten
  to upset the flow of productivity, no matter what
  type of business you own, and no matter how
  effectively the work schedule has been planned.
  Finding cover for a shift can be hard when the
  information that you need, cannot be found easily
  or is not stored in the same place. Scheduling
  automation allows company managers or team
  leaders to access the availability of all staff
  members with ease, and can notify them of which
  employees have reached their overtime limits or
  who is qualified to take over that shift and the
  work that it involves.

• Cut down on paperwork
• Stacks of paperwork including time sheets,
  notifications of which employee has requested
  time off, or who is on sick leave, not only take
  up space on your desk, but can quickly lead to
  mistakes being made, paperwork being mislaid and
  general disorganization. Privacy is also an issue
  when paperwork is sitting around on desks, and so
  it becomes more efficient and safe, if paper
  systems are eliminated.
• With up to date scheduling software, the system
  will collate all this data electronically and
  accurately, minimizing the risk of mistakes being
  made or information becoming lost. In turn,
  better decisions regarding employee issues can be
  made quicker, and organizing a workforce becomes
  a less stressful task.

• All companies benefit from online scheduling
  systems that collate employee data effectively,
  and not only is your life as a manager made
  easier, but your staff will also appreciate being
  able to access their records and make leave
  requests in a more convenient and timely manner.

  resources their business, to ensure that you get
  the very best software for your companys
  specific needs.
