To guarantee that there is a sufficient number of employees for business operations, rosters are used to manage
employee work schedules. By matching labour resources to demand, reducing overtime, and increasing
productivity, they play a critical role in reducing staff costs and eventually assisting firms in successfully
managing their expenditures.

- Automate scheduling: It schedules shifts based on employee availability and business needs.
- Manage employee data: It stores employee information, such as availability, skills, and
preferences.
- Monitor compliance: It ensures adherence to labor laws, union agreements, and internal policies.
- Generate reports: It provides insights into labor costs, productivity, and staffing trends for
informed decision-making.
17. What are two different formats used for staff rosters?
- Excel Spreadsheets: These are flexible and commonly used for manual rostering, allowing
customization based on organizational needs.
- Online Roster Software: Web-based platforms automate scheduling processes, offer real-time
updates, and facilitate collaboration among team members for efficient roster management.

well and what could have been useful that was not available? How easy was it to use? Was it
clear to staff? What were the main benefits of using the software, what were the limitations?
Provide an overview of the software using screenshots to identify useful tools and
functions that helped you develop the roster.

With the goal of getting things done, management has issued an order for "Role
Rostering."
What is the frequency of schedule modifications and how flexible are they?
Utilise digital planning wherever feasible if you want your business to operate at peak
efficiency.
Eliminating the need for workers to phone in to confirm their attendance is a crucial part of
the company's future scheduling plan.
It would be more convenient for them if the list could be accessed online.

Staffing requirements
How well did you consider the staffing requirements? Were you able to roster on the right
amount of staff for each shift? Was there a good mix of skill and combination of staff? Did you
take into consideration social and cultural factors that affect staff rostering? Was it easy to make
the changes required when modifications had to be made and incorporate the necessary skills
whilst also meeting operational requirements?
According to the staff analysis, the chaos of work schedules and plans made more pay obvious.
We have had an excellent job of having our progress in respect to our aims and objectives
monitored by the management and leadership team. Both the old and modern methods are
equally effective.
Pay rates and plans can help identify the best means of achieving objectives, which could
address capacity and division issues.
Operational requirements
Were you able to meet the operational requirements such as staffing skills, costs, the amount
of staff needed for each shift? Did you meet the required budget? What improvements could
you make?
Things appeared to improve after someone from higher up took over and started handing out
tasks. All of the planned salary increases have been put into effect.
Conclusions
What are your overall conclusions? Do you have any recommendations? Are there any actions
that you need to take in order to improve the roster development process?
Accurately recording and allocating each person's skills is essential. The management team is
responsible for acquiring and disseminating any future information, including strategies for
problem-solving, after the rates have been established.
