How does it work?

For a set period of time, the organization establishes the required number of employees per shift or per hour, based on the expected workload. It is then up to the employees themselves to divide the workload and create a personal schedule that works for them. After that, the team as a whole makes sure every shift is staffed by the required number of employees.

My schedule

During the first step, each employee creates their own ideal schedule. This involves planning shifts, holidays, and other leave, and making sure contracted hours are fulfilled.

Our schedule

After the first step, some shifts will be under- and others overstaffed. During the second step team members make adjustments so these situations are solved as much as possible.

Final roster

In step three, the planner or team leader steps in. Their job is to find out whether each shift has the right number of employees. In situations where the employees have been unable to solve over-staffing or understaffing problems, the planner or team leader makes the final changes.

Supporting the process

The entire process is supported by specific working methods and developed software. This ensures that employees can only choose from shifts they are qualified to work, and that the rosters comply with relevant regulations.
