How Smarter Scheduling Improves Employee Productivity
The Scheduling-Productivity Connection
Business owners and managers can dramatically increase productivity through smarter scheduling with TimeSimplicity from ICON, Inc. .
A Job Benefit For Your Employees (That Doesn’t Cost You Any More)
When employers respect their employees’ life outside of work by offering flexible scheduling, employees are happier and more focused on their jobs.
Flexible scheduling improves the bottom line in two ways:
1) Engaged employees are more productive, and
2) Flexible scheduling reduces turnover which may be more costly than you realize.
“Scheduling … is having a huge effect on the bottom line. Increasing scheduling effectiveness offers a competitive edge that can make HR a budget hero.” Workforce management consultant Lisa Disselkamp
Scheduling Self-Service Delivers Benefits for Management and Employees
TimeSimplicity has a virtual trade board which permits staff members to request a schedule change and pick up shifts without having to connect with a manager.
With the Virtual Trade Board, managers can view and approve shift changes without having to contact team members. When a manager approves a shift change, TimeSimplicity automatically sends a notification to each affected employee.
When employees are trusted to handle their own schedule changes, they have increased job satisfaction and feel a greater ownership in the organization which improves profitability in the ways mentioned previously and also decreases the number of short-handed shifts. Additionally, when supervisors don’t have to call and text team members to cover shifts they can be far more productive in their positions.
