ShiftWorks gives employees the transparency they want, the flexibility they value, and the confidence to focus on the job, not the uncertainty around it.

Employee Experience

Every operations leader knows the story: a shift derails before it even starts. Schedules are scattered across whiteboards and spreadsheets, three workers call out, managers scramble to make phone calls, and employees show up unsure of who is covering what. The fallout is predictable: downtime, overtime, rising costs, and a frustrated, burned out team.

The ShiftWorks mobile app, part of Veryable’s Workforce Management (WFM) platform, puts an end to this cycle. It gives employees clarity and flexibility while giving managers the tools to stay firmly in control. The result: every shift runs smoother, engagement rises, and performance improves across the board.

For Employees: Transparency, Flexibility, and Control

ShiftWorks empowers the frontline workforce with the clarity and flexibility they’ve been asking for. Instead of guessing when they work next or relying on scattered updates, employees always know where they stand.

-Real-time schedule access keeps every worker aligned and removes uncertainty.

-Instant notifications eliminate last-minute surprises and reduce no-shows.

-Seamless PTO and absence requests simplify communication, cutting out confusion.

-Shift swaps and releases let workers manage personal needs without jeopardizing coverage.

-Open shift finder gives employees opportunities to earn extra hours while helping maintain throughput.

The result: employees feel trusted and empowered, which boosts engagement, retention, and accountability.

For Managers: Clarity and Oversight in One Place

While employees gain flexibility, managers maintain oversight and control without the chaos. ShiftWorks replaces scattered texts, manual approvals, and outdated whiteboards with a centralized system that ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

-Approval controls let managers oversee time-off requests, shift swaps, or pickups with precision.

-Rules-based scheduling ensures every change aligns with company policies, labor laws, and workforce agreements, reducing compliance risks.

-Activity logs provide a full audit trail of schedule changes, requests, and approvals, creating accountability at every step.

-Centralized communication keeps everyone aligned, minimizing last-minute fire drills and coverage gaps.

By streamlining these processes, managers spend less time chasing down issues and more time focusing on operational performance.

The Bigger Picture: How ShiftWorks Impacts Metrics That Matter

ShiftWorks doesn't just make life easier for workers and managers, it’s a driver of continuous improvement. By reducing confusion, improving communication, and creating flexibility without sacrificing control, it directly impacts key operational metrics.

-Efficiency gains: Better coverage means smoother shifts and less downtime.

-Cost control: Overtime drops as managers can rebalance workloads and fill gaps proactively.

-Service reliability: Consistent staffing ensures on-time fulfillment and stronger customer trust.

-Employee engagement: Empowered teams stay more connected and committed, reducing turnover costs.

When scheduling is no longer a bottleneck, operations become leaner, more reliable, and more resilient.

Conclusion: From Reactive Scrambles to Proactive Clarity

The old way of managing schedules guarantees headaches: last-minute scrambles, unhappy employees, and costly inefficiencies. ShiftWorks changes the story. By putting scheduling, communication, and flexibility into a single mobile app, it transforms the employees experience while giving managers a powerful tool to keep operations on track.

ShiftWorks isn’t just about better scheduling, it’s about building stronger teams, protecting service levels, and improving the bottom line.
