What is rostering/scheduling?
Roster, also known as schedule, refers to the form arranged by the supervisor or HR to allocate duty time for employees according to the store’s demand, the number of employees, and the status of employee reports. There are various forms of working rosters, which are the basis of attendance.
The importance of rostering
In addition to the fixed working hours of 9 am to 6 pm in the office, there are many industries such as retail and catering that have flexible working hours and employ a large number of part-time or casual employees. In the case of flexible and unfixed working hours, HR and supervisors need to correctly and accurately arrange employee schedules to ensure sufficient manpower reserves to meet daily business needs. Employees need to check working hours based on schedules. Different industries have different editing rules, and each has its own complexity. If the formatting of the updating table is wrong, it will lead to chaotic store operations and poor use of manpower.
The benefits of rostering
Both employers and employees can benefit from an accurate roster, the biggest benefit of a roster is that it can:
- Improve work efficiency and enhance time control
- Set priorities and complete established plans
- Reduce labor costs and realize employee value
- Control the pace of operation and strengthen employee discipline
How to rostering?
It is common for part-time and casual employees to intersperse with multiple stores or have multiple shifts a day. For supervisors/HRs, it is very complicated and error-prone to use the traditional replacement table Excel to arrange. These problems need a professional human resource management system to solve.
