Hourly Worker Scheduling Platforms

'Staffjoy' Can Create a Staff Schedule and Send Employees Texts

— November 22, 2016 — Tech
There are a number of ways to create a staff schedule, but 'Staffjoy' is focused on streamlining the process to eliminate the confusion that other platforms can sometimes cause.

'Staffjoy' works by enabling managers to login and create a schedule for hourly workers using an easy interface that focuses on getting the task done in a quick manner. After a schedule has been created, 'Staffjoy' can send a text message to workers to let them know what shifts they'll be working without requiring them to check an app or login to the platform. This helps to increase the ability for workers to know immediately when they are working on the staff schedule rather than logging in periodically to check the roster.
Trend Themes
1. Streamlined Hourly Worker Scheduling - Opportunity for disruptive innovation lies in developing platforms that simplify and automate the process of creating and managing staff schedules for hourly workers.
2. Real-time Schedule Notifications - There is potential for disruptive innovation in creating technologies that send instant notifications to hourly workers about their scheduled shifts, reducing the need for manual check-ins.
3. Mobile-first Staff Scheduling - The industry can benefit from disruptive innovation that prioritizes mobile accessibility and allows managers to create and update staff schedules using user-friendly interfaces on smartphones.
Industry Implications
1. Workforce Management - Disruptive innovation opportunities exist in developing workforce management solutions that cater specifically to hourly workers and their scheduling needs.
2. Communication Tools - There is potential for disruptive innovation in developing communication tools that optimize the delivery of shift notifications and updates for hourly workers.
3. Mobile App Development - Opportunity for disruptive innovation lies in creating mobile apps that provide easy-to-use interfaces for managers to create, update, and communicate staff schedules for hourly workers.
