Tiered Shift Publishing
Through tiered shift notifications, you can release your open shifts to talent pools in the best order and timing for your operation. Use your own criteria, such as cost, proximity, skill level, and experience, to decide who you first broadcast your open shifts.
Why Tier Your Shifts?
When you have open shifts, your scheduler typically contacts various labor pools in an effort to fill them. However, this often results in the need to make decisions or hastily accept the first applicant. With Kevala, we prioritize your preferred talent pools, ensuring they have access to the available shifts first. This eliminates the burden of decision-making for your scheduler.
Taking advantage of Kevala will not only keep your schedule full, but it will keep it full with the best available staff. Your scheduler’s job just got a whole lot easier.
Compare Applicants and Make Better Decisions
In healthcare staffing, there are always various talent pools available. By implementing a tiered shift notification system, you can prioritize your preferred candidates based on your specific criteria like cost or quality. This allows you to efficiently compare and prioritize your labor pools.
This saves your scheduler a ton of time and effort while filling your shifts with qualified pools of talent.
Maximize Use of All Your Labor Pools
Healthcare facilities typically have different staff types, such as full-time, part-time, temporary, and per-diem employees. These facilities can efficiently leverage their entire labor pool by implementing tiered shift notifications and giving priority to their preferred or underutilized staff for a given open shift.
Kevala enhances employee engagement by integrating internal staff into the system. Job satisfaction and retention will increase by enabling them to pick up shifts proactively.
Drive Down Costs
With internal staff prioritization into shifts, you’ll see higher utilization of your full-time, float, or internal PRN staff which will drive staffing costs down. The reliance and overuse of agency partners due to availability will be an issue of the past. Opening up your talent pools and a shift tiering notification system will decrease costs.
Your preferred talent pools like internal staff, float pools, or favorite agencies will be favored, so no more filling shifts with unwanted help. Tiered shift notifications offer a streamlined solution for releasing your open shifts to your various talent pools.
