GUIDE
Are you scheduling or playing musical chairs?
Effective scheduling requires an accurate, real-time Roster. Utilize RIVET to schedule the right worker, for the right job, and the right time.
Rostering and Scheduling live hand in hand. Without a Roster, your schedulers play musical chairs and just pick names.
Rostering will help you determine who is truly the best fit as well as consider availability. With a software platform, your Roster information can be updated in real time to prevent issues like outdated background checks, outdated phone numbers, or lack of job assignment history.
We define scheduling as the process of allocating current employees across multiple projects with consideration to individual attributes, or the Roster, and current or future availability, all while balancing project needs. In order to schedule current employees, the Roster needs to be accurate in real time. It’s common among contractors to perform crew scheduling out of spreadsheets or on magnet boards, easily creating situations where operations leaders are planning against outdated employees.
Review planned absences alongside job schedules, or management notes about work performance. RIVET tracks employment history as assignments are changed.
Inspired by the many whiteboards shared by contractors filled with crews by job, RIVET’s Roster Board is the ultimate way to know who is where today, in real time. By having your workforce updated in RIVET, the Roster transforms your ability to see the true availability of your people, and the status of your jobs.
