As a business owner or manager, you know that managing your workforce can be a complex and time-consuming task. There are many factors to consider, from scheduling shifts and ensuring coverage, to tracking attendance and managing absences.
The Essential Tool for Managing Shift
ShiftConfirm is an innovative new app from CloudApper specifically designed for UKG customers. It’s a pre-punch notification application that helps businesses confirm employee availability and optimize workforce management. With ShiftConfirm, you can easily stay on top of employee absences and coverage needs, improving communication and efficiency throughout your organization. One of the key features of ShiftConfirm is its fully automated process. Data is fetched directly from the UKG server, so there is no need for manual input. This saves time and eliminates the risk of errors, making it easier for you to manage your workforce.
With ShiftConfirm, employees are notified via mail, SMS, and/or Slack one hour before their shift starts (the time is configurable). They can then respond to the notification to confirm whether or not they will be arriving for their shift. If they select “no,” the admin is immediately notified via SMS, email, Slack, or other communication channels, allowing the business to take the necessary steps to cover the shift.
Stay on Top of Employee Absences and Coverage Needs
Companies with effective employee scheduling practices have seen a 15% improvement in employee satisfaction and a 12% improvement in customer satisfaction. Unexpected absences can slow down or disrupt workflow, resulting in missed deadlines, incomplete projects, and decreased overall output. Also, it leads to an overload of work for remaining employees, which can be overwhelming and lead to burnout. A well-planned employee shift management can enhance the workflow and increase the productivity and profitability of any company. With Shift confirm, If employees do not respond within five minutes of the notification, the admin is still notified, ensuring that the business is always aware of any potential issues or absences. This helps businesses stay on top of their operations and make informed decisions about workforce management strategies.
