The Critical Role of the Work Schedule

The work schedule serves a core role in revenue generation because of it directly impacts workforce capacity and worker performance. When labor is not aligned to demand, revenue opportunities are missed. For example, when demand suddenly spikes, only organizations with flexible workforces and scheduling practices will have the agility to assign workers quickly.

Another way scheduling influences revenue generation is the impact it has on workers. The work schedule affects worker satisfaction, productivity and quality of work. In a major survey conducted on hourly worker retention, 80 percent of hourly workers believe their work schedule impacts their productivity. Another 79 percent said their work schedule impacts their ability to do a good job.
