”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.”
“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 we would re-implement a time recording system.”
"Our original system didn’t have HR functionality. I knew I wanted that in our new system. I also needed a system that was very robust with easy reporting. I wanted to be able to quickly download reports."
“My first impression of the system was that it just looked so easy to use and user-friendly.”
"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.“
"Softworks were selected as their Workforce Management Solution delivered in terms of features, functionality and business pay rules automation to meet our requirements."
“Softworks gave us exactly what we asked for, within the expected timeframe and for the price we wanted to pay. As a relatively new application here, Softworks is an unsung hero. It is a system that ticks along nicely but I expect it would be missed if it wasn’t there.”
"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."
"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 scheduling."
“When we first saw a demonstration of the system, we felt this was a system that we needed and could easily use. The menus are very clear and the links flow logically. While it wasn’t the cheapest system we looked at, I believe you get what you pay for and we have got a good, user friendly solution that has delivered what it said it would.”
“If I were to move on to another company, which didn’t have a T&A system, I wouldn’t hesitate to bring Softworks with me.”
"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."
“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."
