What is employee scheduling?

Employee scheduling is defined as the process with which a company schedules work times and assignments for its employees to ensure that staff members end up where they need to be - at the right time. This process includes setting working hours, shifts and annual leave days, as well as defining further aspects which might impact the workday. Employee scheduling aims to maximise efficiency, optimise labour costs and to ensure that staff members fulfil necessary requirements. Forward-thinking software solutions such as Staffcloud support businesses in improving the effectiveness and precision of the scheduling process.
