There are lots of benefits to using dedicated, cloud-based rostering software, but three of the biggest are:
1 Compliance
(I'll add this)
2 Time efficiency
Rota management is one of the most time-consuming parts of a manager’s week. The right software can automate a lot of the manual roster work and reduce the time it takes to complete the tasks that can’t be automated.
3 Higher quality data
Having reliable digital records of when and where staff worked means a more accurate payroll. But it also lets you access valuable real-time intelligence about your people and operations that can help improve future schedules.
4 A better employee experience
Making rosters available digitally to your staff gives them greater control and flexibility over their working hours and fairer access to overtime. It also makes shift-based communication quicker, easier, and less intrusive when they’re not on shift.
Yes. Rostering in Sona accommodates all working patterns, shifts, and role types. So full-time staff with fixed salaries can be scheduled right alongside hourly workers - not just in one location, but across sites, too.
