Your employees want mobile / online likelihoodscheduling.  Please...enough of the excel spreadsheets!  

A reasonably quick internet search shows several things that Excel is good for:

  • Teacher’s grade books
  • Complex functions
  • Mail merge
  • Budgets
  • Graphs
  • Sequential rank of information

Excel is not, we repeat NOT, good for building employee schedules!

A recent study performed by Software Advice, a company that researches employee scheduling technology, concluded that of the over 400 employees in varying industries that were surveyed:

  1. Over half of hourly workers (55 percent) statedthat they would use a mobile scheduling app if it were offered by their employer.

  2. Workers in the service industry (restaurant/bar) were by far the most likely to use mobile scheduling apps, with 67 percent noting they would take advantage of such technology.

  3. The ability to request time off from their mobile device was the most commonly sought functionality by employees in a scheduling app.

industrySubItUp offers the ability to accomplish these and then some.  Check out our industry specific pages to see how SubItUp can be a good fit for you and your company.

Another interesting bit of information that was deduced from this study is that a mobile scheduling app could prevent employee absenteeism.

I would love to hear some of your tricks so feel free to share.  Post them below in our comments section.
