Expansion of functionalities

Besides the standard version of ESS 2.0, it is possible to add additional functionalities:

Availability
In ESS 2.0 the employee is able to indicate when he is available. This availability will be visible while planning, so that the preferences of the employee can be taken into account. This also relates to anticipating on calamities such as failure because of disease. The big advantage is that you do not have to spend unnecessary time on looking for an available employee. From now on you are able to directly react based on the preferences of the employees.

My Team
Are you assuming that your team is sufficiently self-managing to create a correct planning? In such a case, the option “My Team” would be an ideal addition in your ESS 2.0 app. My Team shows the different schedules of the entire team. In addition, employees are able to check when one can or cannot ask for leave.

Shift advertising
Are there gaps within the planning and do you want the employees to be able to sign up themselves? This will be very easy with the ESS Shift Advertising functionality. You can indicate which shift has to be filled up and you can offer this shift within the app. The selected employees will be able to react to this. These employees can indicate whether they are interested on a desirable moment.  By doing this, your employees are given even more input on the planning. This increases both the satisfaction as well as the commitment.
