Would it surprise you to hear that many businesses are still generating their staff rosters using Excel spreadsheets?
Printing off rosters and sticking them to walls sounds like a process of the past, but it actually isn’t.

This old-school style of producing and displaying rosters and schedules comes with an entire host of potential issues…

Is there a better way to create rosters for your workforce not using Excel?

From research and case studies, we have identified a potential revenue leakage for businesses, not utilising software-driven technologies to drive WFM/HCM functions. We at Nextrasoft can guarantee cost savings and accurate recording of time/absence, resulting in accurate payroll outputs. A system that enables the Employee portal to request A/L and much more, raising employee satisfaction and retention.

No auto-notifications to staff if the rota changes
Misuse of staff time and effort.
Incorrect payroll data

This time being spent on producing rotas could be spent on the more important areas of your business.
The roster view screen reports live data and updates immediately once changed.

Employees who want more flexibility in choosing what time they come into the office may also benefit from using eRoster Systems because it provides options regarding which days workers will be available each week or month based on availability rather than being scheduled simply according to to shift pattern.

At Nextra, our rostering module allows users to efficiently create shift patterns, ad-hoc shifts, and availability and non-availability shifts across different locations and groups of employees

Hospitality staff are the backbone of the industry, and your team is one of your most valuable assets. However, rostering too many staff, or not enough, can have disastrous consequences for your business.

Six 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀:
Provide flexibility to your employees
Plan ahead and give your staff ample notice
Ensure the roster is accessible to all staff.
Ensure you’re making your rota fair.
Have open and honest conversations with your staff about their availability and be sure they’re agreeing to shifts that they can really commit to.
Avoid showing favouritism. Though you might have a stronger relationship with certain employees, you must be sure you’re not giving preferential treatment to anyone and that you’re opening up available shifts to your entire team.
