  • Workforce Planning Software Can Minimize the Complexity of Workforce Planning
    What is workforce planning? Why is it so critical? And how can workforce planning software help? These are the issues we address in this article.
  • Time, Attendance and Electronic Rostering System Can Transform the Workplace Environment
    Recording attendance details, and time worked, accurately are not as simple as they might seem. Traditional clock punching has certain drawbacks and can result in highly inaccurate records. For example, a worker's buddy might punch in instead of the worker himself, leading to a false record of a worker being present.
  • Staff Rostering System Can Range From the Simple to Very Complex
    Even the smaller establishments need staff rostering systems if they employ more than a few staff, and the staff members have to work at different times. These establishments, say, a retail store, might do the scheduling using a spreadsheet. In the left column, staff names are listed in alphabetical order. The top row of other columns shows the days of the week. Against each staff person, each day's working time is entered.
  • Self Rostering Can Produce Demonstrable Benefits
    The work environment today has the potential to be very different from what it was even a few years ago. What was just theory earlier has entered the realms of practicality with the advances in Information Technology and Web-based functionality. Concepts like self-rostering and work-at-home are practical possibilities now, and could even lead to greater productivity.
  • Nurse Roster Management Is A Critical Task in Health Services
    Nurses must be available 24 hours at health care organizations. This means that shift working is an absolute necessity. However, available nurses cannot be arbitrarily rostered to shifts. Nurse roster management must accommodate the constraints on shift allocation, and other kinds of constraints such as nurses' entitlement to vacations and other kinds of absences.
  • Work-Life Balance and Workforce Management
    Individuals face demands on their time from work and life requirements. If they cannot balance the requirements, it could mean an unhealthy life or unemployment. Work-life balance has become an important topic of study and discussion because of its impact on public health and business results.
  • Working Time Directive Issued by the Council of the Europen Union
    The Council of the European Union issued the European Working Time Directive in 1993. The directive seeks to ensure a better level of protection of the safety and health of workers, at the same time avoiding administrative, financial and legal constraints that could hold back the creation and development of small and medium-sized undertakings.
  • Without Workforce Planning, Your Organization Could Become Extinct
    Workforce planning is a key workforce management step for long-term survival in a situation where workers are aging or leaving, and business environments are constantly changing.
  • Workforce Management Policies to Keep Skilled People
    You might be able to attract people with high value skills through a well-presented ad. However, to keep them with you, your organization must have put in place workforce management policies that make these people want to continue with the organization.
  • The Key Importance of Workforce Management for Organizations
    Unless yours is a one-man organization, you achieve your organizational goals, to a smaller or greater degree, through a workforce. If that workforce is not productive, the efficiency of goals-achievement suffers and costs of achievement go up.
