Education Scheduling Software
Snap Schedule education scheduling software lets you effortlessly create and manage staff schedules for schools and educational institutions. It is the easiest way for administrators to transform time-consuming, manual ways of staff scheduling into effortless workforce management.
With today’s shrinking education budgets, K-12 schools, colleges and universities must make maximum use of their available teachers, staff, and resources. Effective education scheduling, combined with well designed staff schedules, goes a long way toward improving the education experience for school children. Scheduling support personnel, volunteers, faculty and staffers at schools, colleges and universities is complicated and presents many challenges. All educational institutions have a variety of job positions to schedule and programs to be covered. The cafeteria has its own staff. The maintenance team is at the facility early in the morning and late at night. Colleges and universities also have a campus police department or security team making sure the students are safe. In managing a variety of work schedules, schedulers must also consider time-off requests, training, and substitute personnel.
Educational institutions already have to do more, and cover more departments with less staff. Streamline your education staff scheduling into one place with Snap Schedule. Increase efficiency, receive tangible ROI, reduce labor costs, and promote employee’s work life balance.
