Strategically plan personnel

1
It has become nearly impossible to manage uncertainty and varying future scenarios. OnShift allows you to create "what-if" scenarios and calculate required workforce capacity based on key variables like recruitment costs and over- or understaffing.
2
Compose the ideal workforce if staffing levels are clearly defined. This entails only hiring people for the time they are required, as well as eliminating any unnecessary labor and hiring costs. Speed up budgeting by streamlining processes like recruitment, headcount planning, training, and compensation.

Solution details

How it works

OnShift assists users in ensuring that they have the right amount of staff on hand at all times. Based on current staffing, turnover, and predicted demand, our solver recommends realistic staffing levels for each period. With OnShift's recommendations, users can see what their future labor costs will be. OnShift considers a huge number of factors when calculating the optimal staffing ratio, including everything from the cost of hiring or retraining of employees to the efficiency rate of each type of employee.

For example, if there is a seasonal spike in service demand, OnShift will suggest which employees to hire or retrain and when. We'll put together an optimal mix of staffing resources to cut costs while maintaining service levels.
