Roster publishing
What is roster publishing?
Roster publishing involves processes that work to inform each and every employee within an organisation of the details of their upcoming shifts. Depending on a company’s roster cycle, these shifts might be for the next two or four weeks.
Why do businesses utilise roster publishing?
Finding ways to communicate published rosters with employees is paramount. Without a foolproof way to inform employees of their work schedule, it can be easy for things to be missed. This means that employees might turn up late for their shift, come in on the wrong day or miss their shift entirely.
By implementing roster publishing techniques that are widespread across the entire organisation, there is a level of transparency and subsequently, a sense of accountability that is placed on employees to turn up on time and ready to work.
How can a business make roster publishing seamless?
In days gone by businesses have relied on hard copies of rosters to inform employees of their schedule. With the advent of new and improved technology systems, roster publishing can be as easy as pressing a button.
With Roubler’s online staff rostering software and associated app, employees receive notifications straight to their phone informing them of their shift and the pertinent details. Removing the need for manual publication makes processes more seamless and foolproof.
