"With Softworks we are saving hours and hours of lieu time calculations. It is now the responsibility of each employee to manage their own flexi time, absences and holidays. With the introduction of Softworks, employees can now check their own holiday and flexi balances thereby reducing queries back and forth …

"We are very pleased with our partnership with Softworks to date. We have a very good relationship with the Softworks team and their system has allowed us to spend more time on our core business objectives and less time on manual and administrative tasks.“

"We found Softworks to be open, flexible and very enthusiastic about the project. We pushed some of the functionality in Softworks to the absolute limit in relation to managing our complex rostering requirements."

"Employee scheduling is a process that has been significantly improved since implementing Softworks. Before Softworks, the schedule was done manually through a very tedious and time-consuming process. The easy and intuitive interface of the employee scheduler has significantly improved efficiency and productivity and greatly reduced the time spent on employee …

"Between taking the timesheets and putting them up on the system, checking back, right through to making payments all added up to a full day’s work. Going forward we’re hoping to see that process and time reduced significantly."

“My first impression of the system was that it just looked so easy to use and user-friendly.”

"We had become aware that there were many indirect costs associated with absenteeism such as staffing, scheduling, re-training, lost productivity etc. and we wanted to find out exactly what these costs are, in each location. The extensive reporting capabilities of the system will give us access to attendance information and …

“This has been clearly evidenced by the reduction in payroll employees, and the time it takes to administer the payroll. Previously there were three in the payroll department, but one left shortly before the introduction of the new system. This person has not been replaced, and whereas it used to …

“There have been huge savings across the board and I foresee many more savings in the future as Softworks grows and evolves with the NIHE.”

“Since Softworks was implemented response to the system has been excellent. We took time to explain it to employees and the unions, and everybody is happy with it. We explained when we took the old system out that if, at any time, we felt the trust system was being abused …
