GUIDE
Are you short on labor, or are you behind on Rostering?
A guide to Rostering with a software platform for MEP and Self-Perform contractors
We’re on Pillar 2 of the Workforce Management Business Practice. If you’re short on labor, but also behind on maintaining your workforce Roster in a software platform, you’re not set up for success in your field operations. Brian and Gary guide MEP and Self Perform contractors on a successful foundation for Rostering.
Imagine a stack of baseball cards. Each card has a star player on it with a list of details: their position, their performance stats, their hometown.
What if you had that stack of baseball cards for your entire field force? Your workers, their roles, their skills, their location. Now modernize it by making it digital. A digital Roster of baseball cards that your teams continuously maintain.
It’s true, there is a decline in skilled trade workers. But there’s also an increase in technology that improves workforce management. If you’re short on labor, but also behind on maintaining your workforce in a software platform, you’re fighting a losing battle.
The Roster is not about HR. It’s not your payroll. It’s not about the admin side of the house. The Roster is about an operational list that answers these questions:
- Who is who?
- What makes our people unique?
- Where can I find a continuously updated list of my people?
Rostering is used by the operations team — the labor assigners. But the information can be gathered from other places like HR, the safety team or the ERP.
When you bring it all together into an integrated Roster, you develop a very powerful workforce system of record that helps you select the right people for the right jobs. A Roster contains all of the important information about your workforce:
- Personal information
- Safety and certification trainings, documentation and dates
- Experiences
- Skillsets
- What makes this person unique in other ways
