Department of Intramural and Recreational Sports for Arkansas Tech University - Recreation Employee Scheduling - Case Study

Case Study: Department of Intramural and Recreational Sports for Arkansas Tech University, Arkansas, United States

Business Overview

We are the Department of Intramural and Recreational Sports for Arkansas Tech University. Established in 1909 we are a 4-year state ran institution of about 10,000 students. Arkansas Tech University, a state-supported institution of higher education, is dedicated to nurturing scholastic development, integrity, and professionalism. The University offers a wide range of traditional and innovative programs which provide a solid educational foundation for life-long learning to a diverse community of learners.

Scheduling Overview

We began with just one employee and have since grown to 30 employees. Communication was difficult between the supervisor and student workers on when they could work, and not work, in advance due to tests, papers and different schedules. It was also a challenge to communicate the scheduling changes at the last minute.

Previous Scheduling Method

Before the work scheduler ShiftPlanning we used e-mail and paper based systems.

Since ShiftPlanning

The work schedule maker has helped ease the gap of communication and constant checking of the schedule at their own time when workers want to look. We would highly recommend the employee schedule maker ShiftPlanning to others.

The ShiftPlanning team is very innovative, helpful and listens to their customers. - Grant Watts - Department of Intramural and Recreational Sports for Arkansas Tech University

We are impressed that they cater updates and features to the users needs and wants. It has relieved scheduling conflicts and ease communication with student workers. It has helped our managers easily create and adjust schedules and lets them know of last minute changes.

Further

We especially enjoy the message wall, crib sheets and the shifts confirmed reports.
