Ways to Use Technology to Manage Staffing
Since the COVID pandemic, staffing has been a major challenge for nearly all businesses. There are several ways technology can be used to analyze and control staffing.
We outline a few relevant examples.
1. Automated Scheduling Software
By using automated scheduling software, managers can easily create and adjust schedules in real-time, based on the needs of the business. This can ensure that the right number of staff members are working during peak times while also minimizing overstaffing during slower periods.
2. Time and Attendance Tracking Software
By utilizing time and attendance tracking software, managers can easily monitor employee attendance and punctuality. This can identify any patterns of absenteeism or tardiness, which can then be addressed with individual employees.
3. Workforce Analytics Tools
Workforce analytics tools provide managers with insights into their staffing needs, including identifying trends in employee productivity and engagement. This can help managers make informed decisions around staffing levels, training and development, and employee retention.
4. Applicant Tracking Systems
An applicant tracking system streamlines the hiring process by automating tasks such as job posting, resume screening, and candidate communication. This can help to ensure that the hiring process is more efficient and effective, while also reducing the workload on Human Resources staff.
