Scheduling employees is a complex task in the retail sector too. There are permanent and standby employees, freelancers and students to consider, as well as irregular working hours, like evenings and weekends. However, scheduling your employees efficiently doesn’t need to be that hard.

Protime offers a solution: myProtime Planning. A simple planning system that ensures that as a retailer you don’t need to spend hours working on your planning and administration. Here are the five benefits of myProtime Planning for your retail company.

Flexibel planning

1. Much more efficient planning

With myProtime Planning, managing both your permanent and your flexible employees is much easier. Automating administrative tasks like producing the monthly schedules or updating time sheets makes your HR processes more efficient. You then have more time for the work that is really important.

2. Make real-time adjustments

Another benefit is that a detailed dashboard provides insight into all your staffing information, enabling you to make adjustments if anything changes. For example, if an employee calls in sick, this is immediately reflected in the planning. This makes it much easier for the retailer to identify and fill gaps in the schedule.

The software is also fully integrated with time and absence registration, giving you even more control over your personnel administration. myProtime Planning automatically links hours worked and leave registrations to the schedules, providing real-time insight into the presence and availability of employees.
