"It's a massive time saver from doing all the same work by hand. PLUS, the customer service is hands down the best and quickest I've ever worked with."
– Esther Bouwman , Director
Scheduling for multiple classrooms week to week manually was time-consuming and prone to error. Since Esther switched to When I Work scheduling is now as easy as clicking and dragging. She loves that she can sort and view any combination to make sure everywhere is covered. Automatically calculating hours and labor costs helps her stay on top of her labor budgets and cuts down on human error when calculating payroll. Her whole team also loves using When I Work because it keeps them all on the same page and they can manage their own schedules.

"If something does go wrong, I’ve got it at my fingertips."
– Lua Turcotte , Operation Manager
Sault College of Applied Arts & Technology is located in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada and has been delivering an empowering education to students for the last five decades. The Student Life Center is a bar and restaurant in the Student Union with 50 student workers. Lua Turcotte is the Operations Manager at the Student Life Center. Prior to using When I Work to manage tasks, she was printing multiple Excel spreadsheets full of tasks to be completed every day. This process was very time-consuming, taking Lua up to 5 hours each week. To make matters worse, employees weren’t completing tasks consistently because they were forgetting to complete tasks on the paper checklists. Lua decided she needed to change her task management process. When setting up Tasks in When I Work, she had her staff create a KPI for task completion rates. The staff members set an aggressive goal of 80% task completion for every shift. By being able to complete tasks on their phones, Lua has seen increased accountability with staff and they achieved a 95% completion rate at the end of the training period. Lua is now spending less than an hour a week on task management and appreciates having a digital task list on her phone, saying “If something does go wrong, I’ve got it at my fingertips.".

The Community Desk Specialist is responsible for the scheduling of the 200+ Office Assistants that support the Front Desk operations that are 24/7.
"It saved us SO MUCH TIME."
– The Community Desk Specialist
The Community Desk Specialist is responsible for the scheduling of the 200+ Office Assistants that support the Front Desk operations that are 24/7. On top of the front desk operations, University Housing Services has an additional 80+ student assistants that work on the administrative side. Efficiency and accuracy are critical in an environment like San Jose State University, a thriving higher education setting with 36,000 students (4,000 of which live on campus), 6 buildings with 24-hour staffed desks every day of the week, and up to 280 student employees at a time. Prior to implementing When I Work, the Community Desk Specialist spent much of their time struggling to keep up with shift swaps, payroll, accurately tracking over time, and managing various scheduling limitations. That is when University Housing Services turned to When I Work to manage shifts and attendance—all on one platform with accuracy and efficiency. When I Work cut down the scheduling process from 20 hours to 2 hours per week— a 90% reduction in time spent. With Auto Scheduling dramatically reducing the time spent managing employees’ time, it takes just 1 person and 2 student assistants to manage the entire schedule. Features like Auto Scheduling and the ability to create templates for each building and every shift, means with the hit of a button, conflicts are immediately addressed, unique scheduling limitations for students are incorporated, and overtime is accounted for. The Community Desk Specialist can now focus their attention and energy on long-term strategic goals, improving processes with the front desk operations that will help the university’s vision to better serve students and the community. The ease and accuracy give peace of mind that employee scheduling, pay, and shifts are running smoothly without the time impact of manually managing each building and employee.
