Workforce Dimensions.-
Data-driven automation empowers supervisors to schedule teammates
based on demand, streamline payroll processing, and complete
common workflows – such as time-off requests, timecard approvals,
and shift-swaps – in real time using one-click actions. As a
result, supervisors can spend more time supporting their teams and
prioritizing customer orders. -
Self-service features and one-click actions enable teammates to
request time off, check time-off balances, view schedules, and
compare hours week-over-week, without manager assistance, right
from their smartphone or using an on-site kiosk at the retailer’s
fulfillment center. -
Teammates are automatically notified if they forget to clock in or
out of a shift, giving them the opportunity to correct their
timecard within the designated pay period and eliminating the
liability of having supervisors edit employee timecards on their
behalf.
