Streamline Your Team Management with Resource Scheduling

Scheduling employees in advance allows them to see when they have to work, when they have deadlines, and see it as soon as you put it up. It also allows you to see employee availability, skills, and any other data you add to their profile, so you can easily schedule people based on what they can do, how they suit the problem, and what other tasks they are doing. This makes it easier to avoid overloading a single employee, or not giving someone else enough work. By tracking productivity in this way, you can also reward top performers.

Most teams bring in freelancers or consultants to help out on occasion, and that's fine. However, it can be challenging to keep up with. By integrating your freelance hires into your resource scheduling, you can schedule them in, so they can see everything or just their work, just like your regular employees. It also makes it easier to get employees and contractors to work together, because you'll be able to see when your staff are allocated, and bring consultants in then.

By clearly scheduling in times for meetings and work times, you can more easily keep track of how and where time is spent. It also allows you to make office time, where your team members know they can contact you. If your time availability changes every week, you can always adjust the schedule, and everyone with access can see the change.

By creating a flexible schedule to bring staff in as needed, you can boost employee productivity by ensuring that they only have to come in to work when needed. While you don't want to go overboard with micro-scheduling, you can talk to employees about availability during a weekly meeting, and then schedule everything based on their needs, and yours. With local and cloud features, you can also respond more quickly to changes in plans and make changes to team scheduling based on real time needs.
