University Staff Scheduling Apps
If you walk across a university campus, you’ll notice that nearly every building is staffed with student workers in one position or another. Universities present a unique type of scheduling challenge, not only because of classes that are different every day of the week, but additional availability blunders such as group meetings, second jobs, yearly turnover of student employees, and class schedules that change every semester. When I Work has several features that were built to overcome these difficulties so that students can spend their time worrying about their classes, not their work schedule, and managers can rest-assured that their student workers know when they work. Unfortunately, many universities rely on unorganized systems of hand-written notes for time-off-requests, availability changes, shift swaps, etc. That leaves a lot of paper to sift through, and that’s assuming that the papers reach the desk of the person in charge of creating the schedule. Instead of the typical chaotic university scheduling back-and-forth, imagine having a cost-effective, scheduling tool with these features:
- Free iPhone and Android apps for managers and staff, so the schedule is accessible at all times
- Text message alerts to keep staff informed of their next shift
- Simple drag-and-drop Scheduler that displays each employee’s availability, hours for the week, and position
- Calendar sync capability allows employees and managers to sync the schedule with their favorite online calendar app
When I Work has all of the above and more. Take the full tour to see how easy scheduling can be, and sign up for a free (no credit card required) 30-day trial to experience the difference for yourself.
