The Problems Caused by Short Staffing

When the number of staff is short, customers will have to wait longer to take service leading to low customer satisfaction which can backfire on any business. This can cause more problems, especially during rush hours when there are more customers than usual timing. Another major problem is a dip in productivity. Employees who are present at the workplace can get stressed out from handling so many tasks, and as a result, they will be burnt out. Ultimately, decreasing their productivity. The biggest problem is that short staffing can increase your labor costs as employees might have to work overtime.

How CloudApper AI TimeClock Can Help

CloudApper AI TimeClock is an innovative solution with powerful features designed to combat short staffing through its shift optimization features. With the shift confirmation notifications, miscommunication between the frontline staff and managers will be practically non-existent. Before each shift, the AI TimeClock will send an Email/SMS notification to the designated staff who can confirm their attendance through that Email/SMS. It doesn’t stop there. If any employee says that they won’t be attending the shift, another notification will be sent to other employees based on their past work histories and experience. With that in place, those employees can then bid for the open shifts and start working after the manager’s approval. Employees can also swap shifts among them to meet their convenience. With such features available, you can not only eliminate short staffing but also enhance the work-life balance and satisfaction of your employees.
