Shifthub Adds Revolutionary Communication And Company Wiki Tools To Scheduling Application

Shifthub’s latest suite of tools makes staff scheduling and communication fun and social while saving managers time and money
 
TORONTO - Nov. 19, 2013 - PRLog -- With the launch of its latest version, Shifthub helps businesses schedule staff quickly, communicate easily and turn their staff into powerful brand ambassadors. After a quiet beta release in September 2013, Shifthub’s new suite of tools is now available to help business owners and managers, in any industry, manage their shift based teams more efficiently, resulting in money saved and valuable time regained.

Prior to building this latest version, the Shifthub team held in depth focus groups with existing and potential customers which led to the discovery that scheduling is essentially a part of employee communication and that it is communication, in general, that is broken. As a result, the cornerstone scheduling platform was updated to be more intuitive and reflective of actual scheduling processes, two new applications were added: Company Wikis and staff communication tools.

Shifthub’s revolutionary Company Wikis tool has been designed as a central hub of information where business owners and managers can store company history, policies and product knowledge. Company Wikis make training simple by storing all required reading for new hires in one location. It also improves the customer experience by ensuring all employees are relaying the same customer service policies and product knowledge messages to all customers while turning staff into powerful brand ambassadors.

The new staff communication tools save managers valuable time since they are able to connect with their entire staff 24/7, in a single location rather than updating staff individually as they come into work. Since most staff in the retail and hospitality space do not have an @company.com email address, Shifthub’s messaging platform provides a valuable solution for managers who struggle with ensuring important information is read by all employees.

“We are very proud of the new tools we’ve created” says Jeremy Potvin, CEO and Founder of Shifthub. “Small business owners are always looking for ways to bring efficiencies to their companies and now Shifthub truly solves many of the pains and frustrations they experience on a day to day basis, while giving them hours back in their day to spend with customers and grow their business.”

“Worldwide, employee engagement is at an all time low,” says Craig Morantz, President and Shifthub Co-Founder. “Shifthub is improving morale among staff while keeping them connected to their place of employment. Long gone are the days of mixed messages and confusing policies. Shifthub centralizes communication, making life easier for everyone.”
