E-rostering can boost staff contentment and bring in real flexibility

Jacqueline Price Continuing professional development lead for adult nursing, University of Hertfordshire

Happy staff are productive staff, and improving shift patterns is one way to achieve that. Jacqueline Price offers her thoughts about a positive way forward

I had the opportunity of working with an American e-rostering system that offered real advantages. The system proved a time-saver for senior staff, providing accurate and timely access to staffing at local and senior level, as well as fairness, equity of shift patterns and easy management of leave.
