Future Shift Planning

Allows schedulers to post shift offers so they can fill schedules far in advance. Employees are notified of multiple available shifts through a single automated callout and are prompted to mark their availability in Communicate’s employee portal. No more lunchroom postings, Future Shift Planning automates shift management so schedulers can fill shifts in minutes. Prepare schedules in advance and see when and where you need to fill shifts with real-time updates from your workforce management system.
