How Can The Virtual Trade Board Help Your Company?
The TimeSimplicity Virtual Trade Board streamlines employee shift scheduling by allowing staff to independently request shift changes online, enabling managers to efficiently oversee, approve, and notify employees of schedule adjustments in one centralized platform, thereby saving time for both managers and employees and improving overall schedule management.
Today’s message focuses on one very important feature of TimeSimplicity: the Virtual Trade Board.
Filling holes in the schedule becomes much easier with the TimeSimplicity Virtual Trade Board. Instead of waiting for supervisors to circulate requests on their behalf, employees simply enter requests on the Virtual Trade Board. Managers can quickly view, check and approve shift request changes online. Once a shift trade is approved, TimeSimplicity automatically notifies the appropriate employees.
The Virtual Trade Board delivers solutions to scheduling troubles common to most industries:
Improved Schedule Oversight
Managers can monitor and approve shift changes all in one place. The Virtual Trade Board shows the big picture: all shift change requests from every staff member.
Saves Time for Managers
Managers don’t have to contact individual employees about schedule changes. The Virtual Trade Board shows which associates have requested a shift change or additional shifts. Once a manager has approved a schedule change, TimeSimplicity alerts the employee, eliminating the need for the manager to connect with the employee. No more slinging endless texts or emails to communicate with employees about schedule changes.
Saves Time for Employees
Employees don’t have to track down a manager or leave a message on his/her voice mail to request a shift change or pick up an open shift. It only takes a few seconds to enter a request on the innovative Virtual Trade Board.
TimeSimplicity is an easy, affordable advanced scheduling solution that integrates with our TimeWorksPlus time and attendance solution. The TimeSimplicity Virtual Trade Board is the proactive way to manage schedule changes and empower team members.
