6 SAVVY WAYS TO HELP YOU MANAGE YOUR PEOPLE THROUGH COVID-19
2020 has been an incredibly hard year when it comes to managing staff and running businesses, it’s one that nobody could have realistically anticipated. We’ve been instructed by the government to stay safe, protect the NHS, to stay alert, and work from home if we can, or go to work if we can’t!
As the country prepares for the new national tiered system, and the higher requirement on employers and businesses to protect their staff, how robust are your systems when it comes to doing this effectively?
The COVID-19 crisis means workforces and staff need to be highly educated on the new measures, secure track and trace in the event of illness, and managers need to easily calculate and forecast employment budgets.
Here’s our 6 Savvy Tips on how to manage your staff through COVID-19 restrictions.
1 - TAKE YOUR TRAINING ONLINE TO HELP YOUR STAFF BE COVID SECURE.
Since March this year most businesses have had to move themselves online and there is no signs of it stopping now. Our online training management allows you to create your own training slides and exams to ensure your staff are fully up to date on how you can keep your workplace COVID-Secure before anyone sets foot back in the building. As an employer you can also directly customise the training for specific roles to ensure each member of your staff has the correct training to carry out their work safely.
2- TRACK AND TRACE YOUR STAFF - EASILY AND EFFICIENTLY
Track and Trace has really become one of the most talked about phrases of the year. By having a simple track and trace for all staff working at the same time, if one should fall ill our reporting automatically provides a list of colleagues the staff member could have had contact with on-site using our planned shift tool, the time entries and of course physical training. You will have the ability to directly report on the number of possible interactions an employee might have had interactions with and when the last interaction would have been. These reports will also include all locations the employee would have been during the time; fully allowing you to know which deep clean areas must be at the top of your priorities.
3 - MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER BY HAVING AN EASY SYMPTOM CHECKER ONLINE FOR YOUR WHOLE TEAM
Get an immediate response from your easy symptom checker. By using our check-in forms, when a staff member clocks in it ensures they have no symptoms and records their answers against your time entries, in line with any guidelines. Don’t worry, you can automatically raise alarms if any of their answers cause concern including blocking their time entry, dispatching emails and more.
4 - SAVE YOURSELF TIME AND CREATE A QUICKER AND MORE EFFICIENT REMOTE COMMUNICATION TOOL WITH ALL YOUR TEAM.
Everyone wants an easier remote communication and management system. Our platform allows secure one-to-one messages, with the ability to broadcast news messages and send out urgent alerts. Push notifications and emails as well as SMS ensure staff are alerted at the same time so they receive the latest information as quickly as possible. Select your locations, bubbles or staff to receive these communications at the touch of your fingertips.
5 - GIVE YOURSELF THE ABILITY TO CLOSER MANAGE BUDGETS AND COSTS
Never before has budget management been so important! StaffSavvy has easy cost forecasting and staff cost percentage calculations to help your managers keep the workforce cost as low as possible. If you combine this with our ratio feature you can ensure you have enough staff coverage, for the expected number of customers through any period.
