Publish your online schedule well in advance
Many businesses that employ hourly workers often only post the schedule a few days in advance, and few post it online. This creates problems for both employees and managers, because employees have to request time off or swap shifts at the last minute, and managers have to coordinate that process.
A work schedule maker, however, makes it much easier to post your schedule well in advance. This allows both you and your employees to spot any conflicts well ahead of time, so no one is scrambling at the last minute.
If you have a weekly schedule that fits your business, you can save it as a template in our work scheduler. All you have to do to create a schedule for the coming weeks is apply your template and make any minor adjustments to suit that particular week.
Use consistent work scheduling practice
The needs of shift-based businesses constantly evolve, but try to use consistent shift patterns whenever possible. When you have a regular schedule, employees know what to expect, which increases engagement and decreases stress.
On top of that, consistent work scheduling practices reduce the rate of absenteeism, and allows staff to form better professional relationships with a consistent group of people. Simply put, scheduling employees for regular shifts makes them feel secure about their hours, wages, and professional relationships — all of which make them better employees.
