Campus dining, housing, and security managers face unique challenges in scheduling staff. Learn how an automated workforce management solution can help.
Scheduling part-time student workers — and full-time staff — in a higher education setting is particularly challenging considering students' busy lives and changing schedules. Managers often have to hire multiple workers to cover a food services shift, for example, and they may have to fill a shift with little notice. In scheduling campus security and police, they also need to consider union rules.
Using an automated workforce management solution can help managers overcome these scheduling challenges:
-
Workers can indicate their availability using an app or a self-service portal, and managers can quickly see who is available to work
-
When employees call out, managers can see a list of available and qualified workers to receive open-shift messages
-
Employees can claim open shifts, swap shifts, and find replacements by using the app
