Today
I am going to explain how to use some specialised scheduling softw
are in
order to properly manage your team or your business, this software is highly
versatile and it is a must if you want to properly manage your business.
If you find yourself constantly on the phone
on in your email trying to make last minute shift changes or keep track of your
employees availabilities or if your employees show up late or are absent to
work, you might want to consider using some specialised scheduling software.
Keep in mind that our software can also be
used to organise important events for your business because of the calendar
function, it is not only good for employee management but it is also a great tool
to use for efficient time management in your business.
Any type of scheduling software must
have a high quality dashboard where you can make any action that is vital such
as vacation approval, schedules that include publishing, shift change requests
and more.
The dashboard is also the key to any kind of
messaging systems within the software such as the employee message interface or
the private message system.
From the dashboard of our scheduling
software you will also have access to the staff list as well as the ability
to view your upcoming shifts.
Our scheduling software provides you
with some quick navigation links that you can find in the dashboard, these
include account settings, availability and the profile link with your personal
profile details.
The schedule tab is the heart of the schedulingsoftware, it is the area where the bulk of scheduling related tasks will be
completed.
There are multiple main views in the
schedule tab, they allow you to create shifts by employee or by position.
From listening to our clients we realised
that the most familiar scheduling method must involve placing the default tab
on the employee as the majority of schedulers are coming from a paper or an
excel format.
Our default view works very similar to a
spreadsheet and allows you to simply click on the day or the employee grid.
To enter the work time for your staff keep
in mind that once you enter the time into a field our scheduling software
will automatically create one shift.
Once the shift time is added you can click
on it in order to access the shift editing window.
The position view in the dashboard is quite
similar to the employee tab view, only the aspect has changed as the views are
located in the opposite side.
Positions are generally analogous to the
action positions like manager, physician or cook but they can also be used as
departments or other levels of organisation.
In the position view you can simply add the
shift time, it is basically the same as in the employee tab view, you can also
click on the shift and edit the details and assign staff.
On the shift edit window you may find the
list of staff broken down by their availability, then this makes assigning the
right people with the right shifts quite easily.
Reading the blog helped to understand how important is automation for my business. Thanks for the info.
