Why create staff rosters online?
Do you recognise this scenario? You’re responsible for your company’s shift rosters. You have a myriad of loose notes, emails and scraps of paper from employees telling you when they can and cannot work. You try to make sense of it all with pen and paper or in a spreadsheet on your computer. It’s like trying to complete a puzzle with pieces missing. After a long time, you’re finally done, print it off and give it to the staff. One by one, they come back to you saying they can’t work those times or that particular day. And it’s back to square one. Another hour gone, trying to make the pieces of the puzzle fit. Plus a throbbing headache…
STOP! End all this frustration. Make your employees responsible for keeping their availability up to date. This is easily done with RosterPortal. All staff members get a login. Then you can see, within seconds, who is available when and it’s a matter of
some quick shuffling around to create that perfect shift schedule that suits everyone! And you can notify all employees immediately online via your Roster Portal or via Facebook, by email or SMS.
