A workforce schedule is a living document. Whether a workforce schedule is completely fixed from week to week or completely dynamic and constantly being updated, the schedule is subject to change from the moment it is published.
ScheduleSource TeamWork Scheduling is a complete scheduling system. Schedulers can easily build and publish schedules that fully enforce all of the work rules of the organization. The schedule enforces all skills or credentials requirements. By incorporating the labor staffing templates schedules are quickly built, easily populated automatically or manually and instantly published for review by employees over the web. Schedulers can require employee review and acceptance of their schedules to ensure dissemination.
Change management is a critical job role and a significant management problem for schedulers and managers. With ScheduleSource TeamWork employees can be authorized to swap shifts, a tremendous tool for minimizing manual intervention in change management. Meanwhile, schedulers who must make changes can simply click into a particular name at the shift to be changed and instantly see all personnel who are qualified AND available to substitute for that position. The substitution system enforces all of the labor rules, but lets schedulers override rules when necessary. Scheduling in automated as much as possible but automation NEVER inhibits Scheduler decision making in the management of their workforce.
