Many laboratories are routinely faced with scheduling multiple phlebotomists and technical personnel across multiple sites which can be both time consuming and potentially inaccurate.
Error-prone scheduling can frequently result in understaffed or unstaffed locations or even unintentional double staffing. Moreover, the scheduling process in most labs is highly labor-intensive often utilizing paper or hand-built spreadsheets that show only a single view of the schedule.
Increasing numbers of labs are beginning to see the value of an automated, streamlined scheduling process that produces complete, balanced schedules and also has the capability to smoothly handle vacation requests thereby improving employee morale while saving both time and administrative costs. In this regard, you need to answer these three key questions:
Does your lab really know how much time you and your employees spend in scheduling-related tasks? Can overtime costs really be controlled with a scheduling tool? Do all scheduling tools reduce headaches in scheduling or will they just digitize your already messy schedules? During the 90-minute audio program, you’ll:
Discuss why accurate employee scheduling is so crucial in most lab work environments Understand real-life problems of labs in working with a variety of scheduling applications Gain insight from the experience of two labs that have adopted a web-based scheduling system Discover whether an automated system can save your lab both time and money Learn how a web-based vacation request capability has impacted employee satisfaction Identify the top 10 benchmarks in evaluating scheduling applications You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions—and get expert advice—in our interactive Q&A portion of the program.
