Operational Requirements vs. Employee Factors

In today’s competitive job market, employees have high expectations of their employer’s ability to understand their individual capacity to be available to work. Taking every individual’s specific requests into account can be a long and arduous process. Reconciling these demands against the company’s operating staff requirements is at the heart of Shift Solution’s functionality.

Staff Requirements

With our demand forecasting tools, we can help you calculate your actual staff requirement to effectively provide services, without overstaffing your organisation unnecessarily. Once staff requirements have been established, Shift Solution indicates over and understaff situations to quickly identify and prevent interruptions to service.

Employee Factors

Each employee has a unique profile of availability. Shift Solution manages this information, whether it is recurrent, cyclic, or a one-off request. Employee profiles store information of how many hours to be worked, availability, status, contact information, skills and training and even the employee’s preference for certain tasks or shifts.
