In today\u2019s economy, there is a huge (and growing!)\u00a0number\u00a0of hourly workers that need to be better managed and also need to be more engaged. This is what we call\u00a0the hourly revolution<\/strong><\/a>. In the US and UK alone, there are more than 100m hourly workers. And they are the fastest-growing segment of the labour market in the western world. They are the dynamic workforce. Our large agency clients know this situation well. They see the opportunity of helping clients manage these hourly workers. They also see the potential threat of the gig economy and know they have to streamline\u00a0their operations.<\/strong>\u00a0They need new means of communication and engagement tools. They have to adapt to better engage\u00a0candidates and workers.\u00a0This means that these employers\u00a0now require\u00a0advanced staff management solutions.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all quite obvious if you think about how we operate in the information era. We open an app and we get an Uber ride in minutes. We talk to our family and friends via any of the messaging apps there are in the market. We hire a place in seconds to stay abroad over the weekend. We can even buy groceries, clothing, or gadgets and get them delivered, sometimes in the same day. We have become a quick, impatient society. We want things now, we want to be in charge of what\u2019s going on. That\u2019s why innovative companies are starting to leverage\u00a0the latest generation of workforce management platforms\u00a0with mobile apps to better engage with their staff.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It makes sense for workers. They can work how, when and wherever they want. They can request days off or even swap shifts with others. They can have their upcoming schedule and pay slip at their fingertips, getting reminders of when to leave home and maps to the worksite.\u00a0This type of technology increases worker satisfaction, without burdening in-house management.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

And these modern staff management mobile apps are unified with fully automated staff management platforms like Sirenum by Bullhorn. This allows management to have full control of key staff management processes, including health and safety compliance and monitoring systems that ensure that staff arrives on time\u2013and management can quickly find replacements if not\u2013to improve client satisfaction. This is the latest generation of workforce management software. It is already helping leading employers save up to 4% of their cost of labour<\/strong>, due\u00a0to\u00a0time savings, increased productivity, and decreased employee turnover.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
