Scheduling Shifts

People who work shifts and 24/7 schedules care deeply about their work schedules.

  • Choosing Shift Schedules  Finding the best shift schedule for your facility is hard, because there are so many stakeholders with strong opinions.
  • Adjusting to Shiftwork Without proper training employees often find it hard to adapt to working non-traditional hours.
  • Educating Managers  Managing a 24/7 schedule is an art they don’t teach in business school. It pays to have your managers understand the best 24/7 management practices.
  • Reducing or Expanding Operations Whether reducing from 7 days to 5 day schedules, or increasing from 5 days to 7 days, it is critical to bring employees into the process of designing work schedules to achieve fuller capacity utilization.
