Europe. A vast land of rich history, fine cheeses, and workers hailing from 50 separate countries. Ignoring their current tumultuous economic environment for a moment, we’d like to hone in on our subject here: scheduling. Online scheduling systems (such as ours at SubItUp.com) can be tailored not only for individual businesses, but also to regions and languages across the globe. The result? Online scheduling solutions are now finding a home worldwide. Here are a few key regional differences that we’re seeing.
In Europe, populations of workers put in their hours a bit differently than over here. Employees tend to stick to their schedules, and build a solid foundation around. The benefits of online scheduling systems, therefore, are in employers setting up and maintaining a regular schedule that requires minimal maintenance, while offering European employees the ability to check in and set their schedule correctly, right from the start.
Skipping a continent and moving on to Australia, you’ll find many similarities to the USA in the way down-under workers schedule their time. Like in our country, flexibility is a commodity, and online scheduling offers a way for employees to submit time off requests and receive confirmation without scouring their organization for someone to negotiate a trade of hours.
