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.
