Combine proven self-scheduling and workforce optimization techniques to ensure satisfaction for employees, customers, and employers alike.
The S.O.O.N. Method redefines how you manage your workforce. A hybrid approach that combines the best of self-scheduling and workforce optimization. The cycle consists of four phases. Each phase is designed to streamline your operations, enhance efficiency, and foster a productive work environment.
First, establish the framework of shifts, including the number of people required and their roles. Use templates to set fixed schedules and include employees with fixed shifts. This step lays the foundation for the subsequent phases.
Next, let employees choose their shifts through self-scheduling to boost their job satisfaction and autonomy. Set a time window for when employees can submit their preferences. This process empowers employees and ensures their involvement in the scheduling process.
Then, use the auto-scheduler to create the final schedule, prioritizing compliance while considering employee preferences. Optimize towards your business goal such as maximum hours, balanced hours, or minimum costs. Planners can repeat this step as needed before finalizing and publishing the results.
Finally, manage changes from the published schedule to its execution. Soon helps employees cover and swap shifts, while planners handle changes using the auto-scheduler. Soon also supports payroll export, ensuring a smooth transition from planning to execution.
