The Employee trade board is a specialized innovative tool in retail rostering software. It is an intuitive concept which manages the complex tasks of employee trading. It helps to exchange the jobs and shifts of employees for the agreed time or task..
The board gives the retail employees a board where they can input their unavailable job task or shift timing. The job will be visible to the employees who have the same qualification and skillset. Another employee can view the task details or the shift time and can swap their task with it. This tool ensures that work is not impacted and the efficiency in the task is maintained.
This is an employee interest feature that benefits them by allowing the swapping shift. The employees with the same skill and qualifications can view the other employee’s post for the swap opportunity. This opportunity can be availed by another retail employee and they can trade their tasks. However, the identity of another person taking up the job is kept anonymous for security reasons.
The employee can add the job description and details and set some permissions in the preference. This description and permission can determine the ability of the person to take up and perform the job, the challenges involved and the rules and constraints. This is called the Trade Block. This trade block consists of job type, permission, individual permission sets, and the deadline of the trade.
The objective of the Trade Board is to take advantage of the resources present within the business or stores and use their complete bandwidth. The work rules and parameters can be set as requirements while checking the availability of employees. This will help in filtering and calculating the trade offer to give a simplistic required view.
If an opportunity has met its deadline, the trade board removes the trade automatically. The original employee will be informed via a notification so that they know they are scheduled to do the job or shift.
The trade board also sends out a notification to the store manager, in order to confirm the trade deals and the trading parties. The updates for the trade are sent to the respective managers to provide a smooth and simple transition. This not only promotes transparency, but it also enhances the overall schedule of the retail roster.
