PDC StaffPlan, continued
The intelligent solution for effective workforce management
Cost Savings
PDC StaffPlan means savings - in several ways. First of all, it is important to determine an exact demand for staff. We want to avoid the classical situation with over manning that causes the company unnecessary salary expenses.
On the contrary, under manning will cause a loss of customers. If the customers are not properly serviced they will find another supplier. PDC StaffPlan can determine the man-power need based on dynamic circumstances e.g. expected turnover, work-load, activities, etc. Some businesses are even confronted with fines if they do not fulfil their obligations.
The fact that the staff has a say on the work time management has a positive impact on savings too - especially reduced absence due to sickness. When wishes for duties or absence are complied with the atmosphere improves and hereby job satisfaction. It all means fewer changes of the schedules in the daily work.
Having a good overview of your resources is extremely important when putting together the puzzle of duty plans, overtime, time-off-in-lieu, bonuses etc. Even here PDC StaffPlan will offer considerable savings.
Costs Overview
PDC StaffPlan supplies the required information to get an overview of the total costs per employee/duty. Thus, it is possible to bring financial aspects into scheduling.
Reduced Administration
The time and resources used to administer work schedules, employee payment data and absentee statistics, etc. are greatly reduced. A number of statistics can be extracted from the PDC StaffPlan information. Salary carrying data can easily be extracted and transferred to a salary system.
Better and Faster Duty Schedules
PDC StaffPlan is a tool that provides a cost effective and quick set up of staff schedules, as well as a flexible and efficient duty and personnel effort - not to mention correct payment for the work executed.
This leads to a general improvement in the satisfaction amongst staff, which again, improves the working morale and climate. For staff reasons this is important but PDC StaffPlan also saves the company a lot of law suits and union cases.
Easy calculation of correct salaries and bonuses
PDC StaffPlan includes all the information needed to calculate correct salaries.
Greater Homogeneity and Objectivity
The entire scheduling process is streamlined and
automated providing greater homogeneity, objectivity and
fairness in planning for all employees. The work rules,
internal agreements etc. are interpreted with homogeneity
over time and this gives greater loyalty and satisfaction
among employees.
Time Savings
during Scheduling
Many routine operations disappear with the use of PDC StaffPlan. Duty changes are made online and all routine operations such as counting and computing working hours, supplements/ extra payments, minimum staff requirements and holiday needs, etc., are handled automatically and immediately. The scheduler asks the system to automatically generate and optimize a plan based on the staff requirements, available staff, holiday plans, duty wishes, etc.
Obviously, this is fast and the consumption of hours, money, over time, extra work, etc., is being calculated simultaneously.
Alternatively, you can make the plans manually using the “knowledge” of the system to check for violations, requirements, etc. These facilities are also used during the daily work when making corrections and changes.
Compliance with work rules and union regulations
PDC StaffPlan includes a great number of union rules, labor regulations, internal agreements, etc. - related to each individual employee, qualification groups, etc. At all times can you be certain that your plans are compliant - and documentation is available in case of juridical conflicts.
Employee influence increases responsibility
It is easy for employees to watch their work schedules over the internet i.e. accomplished duties and duties transferred to calculation of salary, but also scheduled and not yet accomplished duties. Apart from this, the employee can enter his wishes for duties and absence directly into PDC StaffPlan. This increases the responsibility of the employee has results in reduced absence to to sickness.
Interface to External Systems
PDC StaffPlan can be integrated with external salary, personnel and budget systems where information can be transferred automatically to and from the PDC StaffPlan system.
