In the fast-paced and always-changing business world, UKG solution users can no longer use manual shift management. With digital transformation becoming more popular and the need for automation growing. That’s why it’s important for businesses to streamline their operations and find better ways to manage employee schedules.

Manual Shift Management Creates Chaos

Manual shift management can be time-consuming and prone to mistakes, which can cause businesses to have a number of problems. We’ll talk about why manual shift management doesn’t work in today’s business world and why UKG users should think about automated solutions instead.

Time-consuming

Manual shift management can take a lot of time and a lot of physical work. Making schedules, keeping them up-to-date, and telling employees about changes can take a lot of time that could be better spent on other business tasks.

Error-prone

When shifts are managed by hand, mistakes can happen. When schedules are made, when changes are made, or when employees are told about changes, mistakes can happen. These mistakes can lead to having too many or too few workers, scheduling problems, and unhappy employees.

Inflexible

Managing shifts by hand is also not flexible. Once schedules are made, it can be hard to make changes, and it can be even harder to let employees know about those changes. This rigidity can make it hard for businesses to adjust to changes in their business or to meet the needs of their employees.

How Shift Confirmation for UKG Can Help

The Shifts Confirmation Solution for UKG is an important step in automating shift management and reducing the inefficiencies that can arise from doing manually. Over or understaffing, missed or double-booked shifts and last-minute callouts are all potential pitfalls of manually managing employees’ shift schedules.

Seamless Integration

If an employee says “no” or doesn’t respond within five minutes, an automated alert is sent so managers can take action and make sure the shift is covered.
