What is workforce scheduling?

Workforce scheduling is a strategic process aimed at organizing and managing human resources within a company. Its primary objective is to efficiently meet operational needs, ensuring that the company has the right number of employees with the appropriate skills in the right place and at the right time. This includes creating work schedules, managing shifts, leaves, and absences, as well as optimizing human resources to maximize productivity.

Costs down, efficiency up 

The aim of operational workforce scheduling is to plan so as to avoid both expensive over- or understaffing. Ensure that the right number of people are deployed at the right time, in the right place and with the right skills. At optimized costs and with attention to the interests of the workforce.

Mapping compliance requirements securely

Planning must take laws, collective agreements, company agreements and individual working time regulations into account. This adds rising complexity to planning and scheduling, while increasing the risk of legal consequences. Why not let a system do all the heavy lifting? The system automatically monitors all regulations, and issues warnings in the event of violations. Already during the planning process.

Actively involving employees

A flexible organization of working time offering maximum work-life integration makes employers more attractive. And happier, more satisfied employees are simply more productive. Make the most of this potential and integrate your workforce into planning. Preferential duty plans or the option of swapping shifts and duties independently, or including carpools in planning are ideal instruments here. 

Implementing planning changes rapidly

As good as workforce scheduling may be, every company has to react promptly to unexpected fluctuations in personnel requirements or to sudden personnel shortages. In this context, it is important to make the right decision quickly with the help of automatisms and on the basis of transparent data. Digital workforce management makes day-to-day management plain and simple.

Creating planning scenarios with real-time data

Heterogeneous systems present planning challenges. Even today, dispatchers often have to extract time balances, holiday data, individual employee requirements or special working time models from various data sources and transfer them to the schedule. Digital workforce management provides all data in real time. The option of simulating planning scenarios creates additional transparency while raising planning quality.
