If you’ve ever spent your time off wrangling shift coverage for a
last-minute sick call or watched your budget go up in smoke because of
unexpected overtime costs, you’re ready to consider employee scheduling
software. More than just calendars on steroids, these tools can help you
track hours, plan PTO, ensure compliance with labor laws, and enable your
staff to take an active role in their own scheduling.

Research shows that companies that adopt employee scheduling software see
an 88% increase in shift coverage, an 86% boost in employee satisfaction,
and a 23% reduction in overtime costs. Best of all, many software companies
offer basic-level packages for low cost–or even free.

If you’re looking to up your remote work game, you may be interested in
finding the best tools to succeed in remote work. There are countless
options available for every task and business function imaginable, so it
can be challenging to assemble the perfect collection that will give you an
edge, but not overwhelm you or make you a slave to the tools. I’ve worked
remotely for most of my career as both an employee and as a business owner.
I’ll share my favorite picks (along with some other notable choices to
consider) to give you a jump start on your research.
