Among the several human resources challenges faced by businesses of all sizes, scheduling is one of the most complex and dynamic processes, and can make or break your business, says Kathi Enderes, a leading global industry analyst and Senior Vice President of Research at The Josh Bersin Company

Yet, according to Enderes, “4 in 5 companies use outdated manual processes, risking compliance issues and frustrating employees and managers alike.”

Rippling has kept this in mind when designing its scheduling product, launched recently with great success with both our current customers and businesses new to Rippling. With our new scheduling tool, you can customize schedules based on demand, employee certifications, wages, and hundreds of other data points. 

Scheduling, with the power of the Rippling platform

And because it’s built on the Rippling platform, Scheduling integrates seamlessly with other Rippling applications such as HCM, Payroll, and Time & Attendance, something Enderes has highlighted as an advantage compared to a standalone application. Scheduling is also integrated with Rippling's advanced permissioning, meaning managers can set up approval chains for any situation, from overtime to shift swaps.

Scheduling also offers powerful configurability, opening up its use in complex and highly regulated industries such as healthcare and construction, for example. It can help schedule workers with only a certain level of experience or expertise, and put in place policies to help prevent burn-out and exhaustion, such as limiting long shifts or back-to-back weekends.

Furthermore, because Scheduling is fully available on mobile for both employees and managers, it supports the needs of deskless workers in healthcare, retail, manufacturing, transportation, and hospitality, for example, Enderes says.

“For managers, Rippling Scheduling provides a configurable, compliant solution with great analytics. Employees benefit from mobile shift sign up, swaps, and management all in a familiar app, increasing autonomy,” says Enderes.

For managers, Rippling Scheduling provides a configurable, compliant solution with great analytics.
