09/24/2024 Leading Irish Workforce Management Solution provider Softworks will demonstrate the latest version of its Cloud-Based Workforce Management Software at booth #4000 at this year’s HR Technology Conference and Exposition on 24-26 September, Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas.
From Time and Attendance to Employee Scheduling and HR Management, the latest version of Softworks Workforce Management Software provides that much sought-after, single, secure and easy-to-use system for a company’s entire Workforce Management needs.
New enhancements to Softworks include:
Updated Employee Scheduling features: With Softworks automated scheduling you can now build compliance, shift fairness and distribution rules into the employee scheduling module which is designed to consistently learn and develop the most efficient schedules.
Scheduling has a major influence on employee satisfaction and organizational efficiency. Automated scheduling reduces the amount of time spent on scheduling, enables a higher degree of “first-time-right schedules” and reduces the number of revisions to planned schedules.
Enhancements to Employee Expenses functionality: Integration with Google Maps allows mileage expense calculations to be more accurately estimated.
This enhancement delivers an easy way for employees and managers to check mileage expense accuracy before submitting expenses, ensuring greater transparency for managers and fewer delays in the expense process, a welcome benefit for employees.
New email alerts: Additions to the existing suite of email alerts which notify managers of actions that need attention such as unapproved absences, delayed or missing time clockings or leave requests. Managers can view and action each item directly from their email without needing to log into the Softworks system.
These alerts expedite managers’ daily employee administration tasks and ensure employees benefit from faster response times to leave requests enhancing their experience of the leave process.
Updates to the Employee Self-Service Mobile App: The Employee Self-Service App now features optional functionality which can allow employees to self-schedule or to declare their unavailability for specific days.
With this feature, employees experience more control over their work schedule allowing them to more easily balance work with other commitments and improving their experience of the scheduling process, a major influencer of employee satisfaction.
Updated Skills Matrix Dashboards: All new employee skills matrix dashboard makes it easier to see skills gaps or expiring employee skills at a glance.
This feature arms managers with up-to-date information on skills to mitigate risk for compliance by ensuring adequate training is completed and to aid strategic decision-making around team development.
New APIs: Building on the existing integrations with leading HR and Payroll providers, Softworks now has integrations with various recruitment systems.
These latest integrations allow for a seamless employee management experience from application to onboarding to ongoing employee management.
