Chances are you\u2019re already starting to feel the pinch \u2013 with fewer customers inevitably leading to reduced cashflow, putting even more strain on you and your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, there is one simple yet powerful business tool that\ncould help see you through these difficult times, by ensuring any profits don\u2019t\nslip through your fingers during the COVID-19 outbreak and helping you spend every\nsingle dollar exactly when and where it\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart rostering will help you and your team provide the\ncustomers who are coming through your door with the exceptional customer experience\nthey know and love you for, while also making sure you don\u2019t waste a single\ncent on unproductive staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Roster smarter, not harder<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What if you could use an intelligent, automated tool to\ncreate cost-effective rosters at the click of a button and save your business\nthousands? It might sound too good to be true \u2013 but Roubler\u2019s smart rostering\nfeature ticks all those boxes and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no better way to rein in your wage spend, and make\nsure every staffing dollar is being spent efficiently. Not to mention the fact\nthat you\u2019ll save hours of precious time when it comes to creating the roster in\nthe first place \u2013 you could spend as much as 81% less time on the tedious task\nof creating rosters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Be agile and adaptive<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the coming weeks it\u2019s more than likely some members of\nyour team will need to take some time off sick, which means you also need to be\nable to adapt daily \u2013 or even hourly \u2013 to fluctuating changes in your rostering\nrequirements. The smart roster feature is here to help you take an agile\napproach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Better still, if one of your employees needs to take time\noff at the last minute, you can make it easy for them to swap shifts with other\nemployees. The employee self service mobile app will let them put a call out to\ntheir team mates to see if anyone is available to cover their shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rethink your roster structure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many businesses, chances are your standard rostered\nweek runs through from Monday to Sunday. This might be purely out of habit, or\nbecause you\u2019re limited by your software and are unable to change the start of\nthe working week to a day that makes better sense for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider breaking old habits and starting your rostered week\non a Friday. You\u2019ll get a better gauge on how busy you are during your busiest\ndays, so you can adapt your roster accordingly for the rest of the week. This\nwill help you find cost savings as needed so your wage costs don\u2019t run over\nbudget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Be compliant<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s face it, the last thing your business needs right now is to be caught out paying your staff incorrectly. Roubler will give you true peace of mind, with always-on compliance tools that will ensure your roster always complies with rules and regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s more, if a manager unknowingly schedules a team member on at a time that will have a big impact on the wage bill \u2013 for example, on a shift that will attract unnecessary additional overtime \u2013 this will be flagged with senior management for approval before the roster can be released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coronavirus is dealing a cruel blow to retail and hospitality
