page 2 page 3 page 4 page 5 page 6 page 7

We specialise in 3 areas.
Visual Rota software to run the Staff Roster.
Training in Staff Rostering.
Project work and Consultancy in Staff Rostering.

Training in Staff Rostering takes a few hours, but thereafter a roster for a year can be created in
about 2hrs using Visual Rota. You can still do the task manually, but it would take much longer.
Usually, you have to create separate roster for different times of the year,
i) The Summer roster centred around staff holidays
ii) The Xmas-NY roster
iii) the inbetween rosters
These are then combined into a complete year.

Training is about the following subjects.

Training program in Staff Rostering, the topics covered are:
workload and workload variation as input to the roster
shifts to match the workload (elapse/start/finish/breaks/overlaps/split tasking)
how many staff to employ
shift rosters
workload and workload variation as output from the roster
how to 'tweak' the roster
rostering problems analysis and solutions
back up and staff morale
health and shiftwork
quality of a service provider
weekends, problems and solutions
holidays
Some of this information is on our website.
