Advanced Software
Frank Devine, Managing Director of Accelerated Improvement describes how WORK Suite can aid with employee engagement to achieve a ‘win-win’ situation
Lean-ER™ is powered by a sophisticated software application called WORK Suite.™ It collects data, helps administer your working time on a day-to-day basis and delivers the information needed to plan for the future.
From long-term strategy to everyday management administration, WORK Suite™ can be used easily by people at all levels of your organisation. Flexible and powerful, it allows shift patterns to be designed and planned, fluctuations to be anticipated in advance, time and attendance to be monitored – all from a single, integrated and scalable Microsoft®-based solution. Team members can even use it to book their own holiday time or swap shifts, and of course, all data can be collated to create highly detailed reports.
With WORK Suite™ you have a huge range of benefits at your fingertips:
- Time and resources can be managed more effectively
- ‘What if?’ exercises can be carried out with shifts and patterns to show what is possible
- Alternative work patterns can be demonstrated to suit both the employee and employer
- Exceptions are visible, therefore labour costs can be controlled
- Admin tasks are made simple
- Systems can be continually improved
- Your organisation can easily comply with Working Time Regulations
- Shortfalls in labour availability can be spotted as they happen
- Data entry is quick and simple
- Punctuality and sick leave can be monitored
- Hours actually worked can be recorded for payroll purposes
- The Windows and web-based software can be easily integrated into existing systems
- A single Microsoft® SQL database gives you a central repository for all your working time information
Modules
Each module adds a range of specific features to the application, giving you a flexible and powerful tool that helps your organisation run more efficiently and profitably. The following modules are part of WORK Suite™:
- WORK Scheduling™ makes it easy to design innovative shift patterns and rotas
- WORK Management™ is a comprehensive administration and tactical planning tool for the day-to-day management of working time.
- WORK Time™ captures the real-time labour supply information of employees' attendance compared to plan
- WORK Employee Self Service™ allows employees to make their own changes to working hours, such as swapping shifts and booking holiday time
