Whether you are managing shifts, tracking employee hours, or overseeing leave requests, our dashboard makes it easier to stay on top of your workforce. It ensures that managing your team is more efficient than ever before, helping you focus on growing your business while we take care of the details.

Key features of Rosterelf’s shift swap functionality

Our new dashboard is packed with features designed to make your rostering tasks more efficient and manageable. With input from our clients, we have carefully curated the tools and sections that matter most for managing your workforce. The new design consolidates all essential information into one centralised view. This enables you to focus on key tasks without the hassle of navigating through multiple pages.

Centralised workforce management for efficiency

The goal behind this redesign is to simplify the rostering process by offering a clear and user-friendly interface. The dashboard streamlines day-to-day operations by presenting vital data at a glance. Managers can now make faster, more informed decisions. From tracking employee work hours to reviewing leave requests, everything you need to manage your team effectively is now at your fingertips.

Optimising shift swaps for improved staff management

With the ability to manage shift swaps seamlessly, the dashboard ensures that you can optimise both team members' schedules and work-life balance. By simplifying shift change requests, managers can keep operations running smoothly while giving employees the flexibility they need to manage their own schedules.

To-do section for managing shift swap tasks

One of the first things you'll notice when you log into the new dashboard is the “To-do” section. This section provides a quick overview of tasks that need your attention to keep your account and data up-to-date. It is specifically designed to highlight areas that require action, such as:

  • Employees missing pay-rate information
  • Unassigned awards
  • Employees who haven’t been rostered for some time, which could indicate they need to be marked as inactive

By addressing these tasks, you ensure that your account remains up-to-date and your data is clean. This prevents errors that could affect your scheduling and payroll. The To-do section helps you stay organised, ensuring no important task is overlooked. It is a tool that supports smooth operations, helping you address issues before they become larger problems.

Visualising workforce trends with Rosterelf’s shift swap insights

The trend tracking feature in our new dashboard offers businesses a powerful way to monitor and visualise key workforce metrics. By simplifying complex data into easy-to-read trends, the dashboard helps you stay on top of your business’s performance. Whether you’re looking to analyse:

  • Labour costs
  • Average pay rates
  • Hours worked

This feature provides valuable insights that can drive smarter decisions. The goal is to give businesses the tools they need to make informed choices. It helps optimise operations and ensure workforce management stays on track.

Roster trends for effective shift swap planning

The "Roster Trends" section is one of the standout features of the new dashboard. It provides in-depth analysis of three critical metrics: labour costs, average pay rate, and hours worked. These trends are presented through a clean, user-friendly graph. This makes it easy to see how these factors fluctuate over time. You can filter through different time periods and quickly pinpoint patterns that may impact your business.

By analysing these trends, businesses can better manage their budget and forecast staffing needs. For example, tracking labour costs can help prevent overspending by highlighting periods of high expenditure. Reviewing average pay rates and hours worked can assist with scheduling and ensure you stay on target with wage budgets.

Simplified shift swap management

Our new dashboard includes a simplified shift swap feature that makes managing shifts easier and more efficient for businesses. The shift swap tool helps reduce the complexity of handling shift changes. It allows employees to easily swap shifts with one another. This feature empowers your team to manage their own schedules while minimising disruption to operations.

Managers can track and approve or decline these swaps quickly, ensuring everything remains organised without adding extra workload. With the shift swap feature integrated into the dashboard, the rostering process becomes more streamlined, saving time and reducing the back-and-forth communication often associated with shift changes.

Shift swap section for quick action on shift trades

The shift swap section in the new dashboard is designed to help managers quickly view and action shift changes. It is divided into three distinct categories:

  • Waiting: Shift swap requests awaiting approval
  • Pending: Shift swap trades ready for manager approval
  • Archive: History of past shift swaps

These categories help improve the shift change process. They offer a clear overview of the current status of each request, allowing both managers and employees to efficiently manage their shifts. This ensures a smooth workflow while maintaining control over the rostering process.

Streamlined leave management for effective shift swap control

Efficient management of leave requests is crucial for businesses to maintain smooth operations. It ensures staffing levels are always optimal. Our new dashboard simplifies this process by providing businesses with an easy way to track, approve, and manage leave requests.

With the ability to quickly view pending leave requests, decline requests that don’t fit, and access past leave data, the dashboard takes the guesswork out of managing time off. The goal is to make the leave approval process faster, more organised, and more transparent.

The streamlined leave management tools in the new dashboard help businesses stay on top of leave requests. This eliminates the hassle of manual tracking and enables managers to focus on other areas while ensuring leave is managed efficiently and in line with business needs.

Real-time clock-in/out for shift swap accuracy

Real-time clock-in/clock-out tracking is an essential feature for businesses that want to improve accountability and streamline payroll management. By tracking when employees clock in and out in real-time, businesses can ensure that they are accurately recording work hours. This reduces time theft and ensures compliance with labour laws.

Our new dashboard integrates clock-in/clock-out data directly into the platform, making it easy for businesses to monitor their workforce's attendance throughout the day. This real-time tracking feature allows managers to instantly access up-to-date information, helping in managing labour costs and ensuring accurate payroll calculations.

Staff availability and shift swap flexibility

Managing staff availability is a common challenge for many businesses. Traditionally, keeping track of when employees are available for shifts requires constant communication and manual updates. With our new dashboard, this process is simplified and automated.

Employees can now easily update their availability themselves. This ensures that the information is always accurate and up-to-date, reducing the administrative burden on managers. Real-time updates and direct access to employee availability allow managers to make better-informed decisions about scheduling and ensure staffing needs are always met.

With its intuitive features such as the To-do section, trend tracking, shift swap management, leave approvals, clock-in/out data, and staff availability tracking, the dashboard provides everything you need to streamline operations and improve efficiency.
