Shift Scheduling Just got easier!
Creating a shift pattern or shift schedule from
scratch can be a very daunting task. You need to
understand how to plan out your shifts,
understand how to include cover arrangements for
holidays and absence, know the laws which will be
applicable. Then there is the tremendous task of
introducing your new way of working to your staff.
Fortunately, we can teach you how.
We are designing a new e-learning experience.
Eventually our on-line school will have a full range
of courses to make you a shift pattern expert.
All organisations running shifts have very similar
problems, including: employing the correct
number of staff with the right skill, accommodating
annual leave and coping with absences. We work
with organisations to set up mechanisms to
calculate the right number of staff to match the
workload. We set up procedures which allow all
staff to take their holidays without disrupting the
operation, and the means to cover and cope with
expected and unexpected absences. We have
combined our expert knowledge of shift pattern
design and policies to create a comprehensive
course intended to help managers tackle these
issues.

One Day Seminar: Strategic Absence Management
Strategic absence management covers mitigating the effect of absence on your business. Absences
are expensive and time consuming. Each time someone is missing, you have to make a decision
about how you will cover for their absence. Last minute absences can be especially expensive and
difficult to cover. However we can teach you how to minimise the cost of absence.
Everyone is entitled to their holidays, and there is a lot of holidays to fit into one year. Trying to
organise holiday cover is a full time job, and not a very popular one.
In this one day seminar learn how to fit everyone’s annual leave into your shift schedule and cover
for any eventuality. Learn how to cover for absences without using overtime. Work out your
staffing budget and learn how to stick to it.
Proactive absence management is about anticipating your absences and learning how to mitigate
their effect. We will teach you how to ensure that you always have the correct number of staff, with
the right skills, in the right place at the right time.
