The need for flexibility and productivity remains as high as ever. Nevertheless, labor shortages and increasingly discerning employees require organizations to be smarter and more flexible with workforce planning.
Scheduling employees with diverse experiences and competencies is a complex puzzle. Especially when your people work externally on your customer’s premises, as home care workers, installers, technicians, security personnel, etc. and requiring specific equipment. Facilitating a schedule which considers all the necessities and wishes of your people alongside your customers creates a multifaceted challenge for the planners. How do you plan each field service employee and their resources as efficiently as possible, while considering the needs and wishes of your people and your customers?
Poor workforce planning may lead to high employee turnover with then higher recruitment and training costs, lower satisfaction, and reduced employee engagement with potential negative implications for customer service.
