Keep Internal Communications Clear with Responsive Messaging
June 15, 2021
Being able to communicate with your staff is no longer a “nice to have” but rather a necessity for any business. Handling the unique demands of your scheduling processes simply isn’t enough anymore. As more employees are remote and unavailable for face-to-face communications, the right scheduling software can forge a path for clear and transparent communication between your staff and administrators.
Make Announcements
Messages sent through our internal platform have read notifications so you can be assured with absolutely certainty that each staff member has read the important information you sent out. With the ability to segment your messaging you can avoid message overload by sending important information to only those who need it, and not to everyone on staff. You may have an urgent need that only applies to those currently working, or maybe you need to send something out that is only relevant to staff who aren’t working but are available to come in. There are times when a message is intended for all employees, and other times when just a selection of staff need to be reached. Either way, we’ve made this an easy task to manage, and even small burdens lifted from your schedulers shoulders will be well received.
Helpful in Emergency Situations
Responsive messaging can also be used in case of an emergency to alert staff to potential security threats and closures without broadcasting concerns through a PA system.
Interpersonal Messaging
With the interpersonal messaging feature, it’s possible to communicate with just one or more staff members and keep it transparent and on the platform.
Notifications to Pick Up Open Shifts
Our software allows for any open or last-minute shift needs to be immediately dispatched to all qualified and available employees.
Swap Shifts
Take paper out of the equation and have employees swap shifts through the platform and have managers approve easily.
Survey
Use Schedule360’s survey feature to ask your staff questions about their health, vacation requests, track their availability, and more.
