Open shifts are a constant reality for organizations with large, dynamic workforces. Shift managers often grapple with the task of assigning these shifts to employees who not only have the requisite job experience but are also available and willing to take on additional duties during those specific times. The ability to efficiently notify employees about open shifts is crucial. It helps align an organization’s labor needs with demand, minimizing the risk of understaffing while simultaneously offering workers greater flexibility in their schedules. For UKG-ready customers, this task has been significantly simplified with CloudApper AI TimeClock, an AI-powered time clock for seamless workforce management. 

Utilizing CloudApper AI for Effective Open Shift Management

UKG Ready customers now have a powerful tool at their disposal to manage open shifts seamlessly. CloudApper AI TimeClock facilitates capturing employee time data and intuitively scheduling data. Managers can quickly check for open shifts directly from the time clock interface and promptly send notifications to employees to inform them about the availability of open shifts. This ensures that employees are immediately aware of open shifts and can respond to the offer directly from the notification. The first employee to respond affirmatively is automatically assigned to the open shift in the schedule, ensuring a swift and efficient allocation process that benefits both the organization and its employees.

Integration with UKG Ready for Seamless Data Capture and Synchronization

One of the key advantages of CloudApper AI TimeClock is its seamless integration with UKG Ready.  By seamlessly integrating with UKG Ready, CloudApper AI  retrieves employee schedules, uses AI to identify shift requirements, gaps, or issues, and automatically notifies relevant employees over SMS, email, Slack, or other messaging apps. The result is a streamlined process where open shifts are easily identified, and notifications are sent out quickly, ensuring that open shifts are filled in a timely manner. This integration not only simplifies the process of managing open shifts but also enhances the overall efficiency of workforce management.
