In today's fast-paced business world, workforce management (WFM) systems are no longer just about tracking time and attendance—they play a critical role in shaping employee satisfaction and operational efficiency. Infor Workforce Management (WFM), particularly its Multi-View Scheduler (MVS), stands out as a tool that transforms scheduling complexities into opportunities for both employers and employees.
What is Infor WFM's Multi-View Scheduler?
The Multi-View Scheduler is a powerful component of Infor WFM, designed to optimize scheduling processes across various industries, including retail, healthcare, and manufacturing. It allows managers to see and manage schedules in different “views,” such as by employees, shifts, or locations, providing unparalleled flexibility. This flexibility simplifies the challenge of balancing labor demands with employee needs.
Driving Positive Work Environments
Here’s how MVS becomes pivotal in fostering a more positive and productive workplace:
1. Empowering Employees with Flexibility
In a modern work environment, flexibility is key to job satisfaction. MVS enables employees to have greater visibility into their schedules and even allows self- scheduling or shift swapping where policies permit. Empowering employees with control over their work hours reduces stress, boosts morale, and accommodates work-life balance—leading to happier teams.
2. Reducing Scheduling Conflicts
Inefficient scheduling can lead to overworked employees or understaffed shifts, creating frustration and burnout. With its intuitive views and real-time data, MVS ensures schedules are fair and aligned with labor needs. Managers can quickly spot gaps, prevent double-booking, and minimize errors, fostering trust and transparency in the workplace.
3. Enhancing Communication
Clear scheduling reduces misunderstandings. MVS integrates seamlessly with communication tools, ensuring employees are informed of changes in real time. By streamlining notifications for shifts, updates, or conflicts, the system promotes smoother operations and reduces last-minute chaos.
4. Boosting Operational Efficiency
From a business perspective, MVS helps reduce labor costs by matching the right number of employees to workload demands. It also accounts for employee preferences and compliance with labor laws, ensuring a win-win for both the workforce and management.
The Outcome
When employees feel valued, respected, and empowered through transparent scheduling, they are more engaged and productive. Infor WFM’s Multi-View Scheduler does more than optimize operations—it creates an environment where employees can thrive, driving long-term success for organizations.
By leveraging tools like MVS, companies pave the way for happier employees, reduced turnover, and a positive, inclusive work culture. In short, better schedules create better workplaces.
