"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 are very happy with Softworks. We like the product and we have a very good relationship with the team. The system has enabled us to spend more time on our core business objectives and less time on manual and administrative tasks."
"We’ve set up our day service and residential care rosters in the Softworks system and can now easily manage any day to day changes needed. Managers can simply pull an available locum into their schedule to cover when a person is out."
”I think from each employee’s point of view it gives them more control over their time. It also frees up line managers as employees are effectively managing their own time and attendance. Overall, I believe that the Softworks system has benefited the entire hospital and has delivered tangible results in terms of enhanced payroll, rostering and time management effectiveness.”
“We also purchased the option to use data capture on the shop-floor, which is a future aspect – we wanted a system that will grow with us. Softworks was the right product at the right price, and it has definitely made us more efficient.”
"We operate quite a complex sick leave arrangement that’s loosely based on the public sector model and found that tracking this and other types of leave became more complex as the organisation got bigger. We needed a system to manage this for us."
"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."
“We worked with the Softworks Project Manager to set up a methodology for testing our work rules and initially went live with 80 drivers to make sure it worked. We then rolled it out to our core group of drivers.”
“We talked to a number of providers. Some did far more than we needed and were potentially more costly. Some gave the impression it was up to us to figure out whether their software would work for us. Softworks, in contrast, explained exactly how their system could use our Time and Attendance data in combination with work and pay rules to ensure drivers were paid correctly. Softworks were also happy to configure the system to deliver precisely what we needed.”
"Payroll was a manual process and took approx. 12 hours per month to complete compared to approximately 4 hours now with Softworks."
"We selected Softworks because of its ability to manage employee time and attendance as well as employee scheduling. The fact that employees can use the Employee Self-Service App to manage absence requests and view their shifts is of huge benefit to us as well. For us having one system to do it all is fantastic."
“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.”
“It has basically tightened up everything that was missing before. The old system caused so many problems no one liked using it, overtime and hours were missed causing errors and disgruntled employees. If an error does occur now it’s a rare event. Problems just don’t happen now, the system is well worth the money.”
"This is the most beneficial aspect of the system as we can see immediately who is late and issues regarding attendance can be dealt with in real time."
"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 allow us to determine the reasons for absenteeism and its associated costs."
