SCHEDULING SOFTWARE

HOW CAN STAFF SCHEDULING BE SIMPLIFIED?

 

Building schedules is a complex task for your managers because they have to optimise many unforeseeable parameters, often without dedicated software.

Scheduling software helps managers schedule staff based on workload, the skills required and labour laws. eTemptation simplifies workforce scheduling, optimises the use of temporary staffing and overtime, and guarantees a fair distribution of work.

THE KEY POINTS OF YOUR PROJECT

3 essential elements: analyse your scheduling processes and specific needs, choose a solution proven in your industry, and opt for a cloud-based system so you don’t have to deal with IT-related issues.

The success of a workforce scheduling project depends above all on the ability of the solution to handle your industry-specific rules. Issues to consider:
  • The ability to configure and customise the scheduling solution to reproduce your sector-specific scheduling rules.
  • Change management: a workforce scheduling project will require your organisation to learn new processes.
  • User experience: in just a few clicks, your managers should be able to view and update the schedules of their employees.
  • Real-time visibility of all elements of time management (counters, schedules, leave and absences) to schedule activities efficiently.
  • Ability to export the schedule to Excel.
  • A cloud-based solution for access anytime, anywhere.
