Staff Communication FAQs
- Use multiple channels: push notifications via your rostering app, SMS for urgent changes, and email for documentation. Always confirm receipt for critical changes and give as much notice as possible.
- Create a clear process where staff can request swaps through a central system. Managers approve or decline based on skills, costs, and compliance. Automated systems reduce admin time and keep records for payroll.
- Standardise how information is shared. Use one primary channel for roster updates, set clear expectations for response times, and document important conversations. Regular team meetings help align everyone on priorities.
