Reduce Employee Turnover

Employee turnover has many causes. In numerous studies, one of the main reasons cited for an employee leaving is the quality of a rigid work schedule.

The cost of recruiting, hiring, training, and implementing new staff members is between 50% to 150% of a lost employee's annual salary. The fast-food industry often deals with greater than 200% turnover rates. In healthcare, employee satisfaction and retention is often a strategic corporate goal often unattained.

The dominate solution to employee turnover is simple: provide employee preference-based scheduling. Balancing the needs of an organization and the preferences of employees creates a level of complication that cannot be addressed by manual or current linear-based software solutions. As a result, management usually assumes a 24/7 availability of employees and then utilizes an exception-based approval process for changes. This linear-based process creates inflexible schedules – if any part is changed, the entire schedule becomes unmanageable. EmLogis takes the complexities of employee skill sets, availability, customer demand, and individual employee preferences and produces a schedule that precisely aligns the right person at the right time.

Companies have discovered that by providing even a minimal voice, a bulletin board or shift swapping, employees are pleased to be able to improve their work schedules. However, these processes are inherently inefficient because they are cumbersome, not always fair, and require significant time by employees and managers.

Proactive Preference gives the employees the ability to affect their schedule independently and regain control of their personal lives. This has been proven to reduce the number of employees leaving their jobs. EmLogis is able to clearly and effectively define both the preference satisfaction rating for individual employees and for teams.
