The Number One Productivity Killer in the Workplace

When employees have to constantly get in touch with managers to find out there schedule, the managers lose a lot of time and the employees lack reliability. There should be a system in place in every workplace, whether your schedules are repetitive and constant or often vary, where employees can see when they are working and easily request and put in for time off.

When this type of system is implemented to amount of miscommunication, sudden call outs and scheduling conflicts will decrease immensely. Managers should be able to easily create a schedule, give time off to employees without major issues and track attendance and sick time.

When your employees arrive to work do they know what to work on that day or do they report to their manager over and over again through out the day to check in with their tasks and find out what to do next? While some positions may have the same tasks each day, other positions have tasks and appointments that vary.

Managers can limit the surprises and time spent explaining what needs to get done each day by implementing a system that schedules repeating tasks and appointments and tasks that come up on a day-to-day basis.

If you have ever project managed a large task, you know that scheduling various resources can be tough. Between employees balancing regular tasks with specific project tasks, independent contractors in and out of the workplace and things like tools, equipment and materials to complete a job you need a system to save you time and let you easily plan all your resources.

Your resource scheduling system should be able to tell you who is working on what each day and what resources they will need. Employees and contractors should be able to check into the platform each day to see what they are working on instead of checking in with the project manager, wasting time and decreasing productivity.
