The struggle is real when it comes to workforce scheduling. It involves juggling many considerations from staff availability, to dealing with last-minute unforeseen circumstances such as sudden illness or shift swap requests, and then there's the ever-present spectre of labour law compliance to factor in. As countries are hesitantly re-opening, specific guidelines related to crowd control and hygiene may be implemented to minimize the chance of re-outbreak – adding to already hefty considerations when planning the staff duty roster. Timetabling and timetable-replotting is a nightmare if rotas are done with pen and paper, but a dream when done with the right piece of technology. Our focus today is on just such a platform – workforce management software Quinyx. "Organizations need to be flexible and adapt to the latest central and local guidelines," Quinyx CEO and founder Erik Fjellborg told the Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the UK last year.
