Background
Hollyburn Family Services is a multi-service agency that has been providing support to children, youth, adults, and families in the Greater Vancouver region since 1990.
The non-for-profit organization needed a solution that their staff would be able to use with ease. MakeShift's PeopleFirst™ scheduling app made the process PainFree™, alleviating the administrative burden, eliminating the stress of having to manually fill vacant shifts, and saving time for the entire team.
The Challenge
As a social service provider with many casual and part-time employees, Hollyburn Family Services needed an intuitive scheduling solution that integrated with ADP® and could be used by their entire staff. Managers were spending a lot of time manually building schedules which resulted in lost productivity hours. Vacant or unfilled shifts created a stressful environment for supervisors who had to call each employee individually to ask if they could cover the shift.
Holyburn was looking for a system that would:
• Integrate with ADP to eliminate the burden of operating separate systems.
• Be usable by a diverse group of employees with varying degrees of tech skill.
• Eliminate the need to have to manually call people to fill vacant shifts.
• Make the scheduling process more efficient.
