Public Sector

With current pressures on the public sector to operate within reduced budgets, while continuing to deliver a high level of service, there is a need to find new ways to reduce expenditure. As the largest controllable expense, the workforce provides a great opportunity for the public sector to reduce costs. This is where Softworks Workforce Management Software can help. Softworks Time and Attendance Software, computerised Honour Based Timesheets and Employee Self Service Software provide the tools and processes needed by the Public Sector to increase efficiencies, accommodate variable staffing needs, reduce costs and comply with complex labour laws and union agreements.

How Softworks Workforce Management Software can help Public Sector Organisations:

• Automates the tracking of flexible working options including flexitime, remote working, and working from home.
• Optimises workforce scheduling and deployment by aligning labour resources with demand.
• Improves productivity and quality by making informed real time decisions based on actual data.
• Reduces operating costs by making optimal use of existing workforce and minimising the need for overtime and temporary labour.
• Attracts, retains and motivates employees by giving them more control and input over their work schedules through Employee Self Service.
• Takes control of employee planned and unplanned absences and managing holidays, time in lieu and sickness more efficiently.
• Increases payroll accuracy by removing manual processes.
• Consolidates and applies all rules in a fair and equitable fashion.
• Formalises workflow authorisation to enable managers to easily edit, authorise and analyse overtime, holidays and planned and unplanned absences.
