This report digs into the following areas:

  • Driving Employee Experience – For front-line deskless workers, scheduling flexibility is second only to payroll in HCM processes that drive employee sentiment. Modern scheduling technology supports predictable scheduling, shift-swapping, and visibility to promote work/life balance, a feeling of fairness, job satisfaction, and retention.
  • Enhancing Manager Productivity – Managers are employees too and advanced scheduling capabilities can improve their experiences by being better prepared to manage their teams. Analytics can surface the best worker for a job as schedules are determined and notifications can inform of missed timeclocks or to approve shift change requests.
  • Scheduling for All – With advanced understanding of labor supply, organizations are more prepared to adapt plans and priorities. Additionally, regional legislation is now requiring scheduling requirements for the entire workforce. Modern workforce management allows for scheduling optimization at scale.

“A management focus on the employee experience has become highly correlated with the ability to attract and retain top talent, not unlike the benefits of delivering a superior customer experience.”
