Humanity vs. When I Work

It's well suited for simple aggregate tracking of day to day, time for reps. It is not suitable if you want anything better than a 30K foot view. It's very high level but doesn't help you optimize.

I recommend When I Work to those companies that are looking for a way to manage work schedules and want to increase the productivity of all employees. This is an important platform that would bring excellent results to small, medium and large companies. This is a constant monitoring system which allows employees to complete their tasks in the indicated time, When I Work sends automated alerts when an employee is not complying with their tasks and this allows us to know exactly the productivity we are having in each one of the sectors. It is an excellent platform for planning and administration of working hours, it has a very easy-to-use UI that allows schedules to be easily managed. Without a doubt, When I Work would be a perfect implementation for any sector or company, since it has a lot of potential to collect exact data on compliance with working hours.

• Provide us with last-minutes schedule changes with notification to staff
• Scheduling of team
• Conflict-free schedules based on employee availability,

Incentivized

• When I Work allowed me to color-code each employee's schedule.
• When I Work allowed me to show who was "off" during what time of day. This was essential for morale, as our event included 16-18 hour days, and I wanted to show that everyone had down time each day.

Incentivized

• Don't provide ANY way to optimize staffing
• We spent a LOT of time with them working on seeing queue availability for each rep. They tried but weren't completely sure what their product could or could not do. The effort was there, but if they had known their product better it would have been a quick 'no'.

Incentivized

• Customer service only available by chat or email. No phone- which is crazy, in my opinion. Slows down, getting things done.
• Understanding their charges is a pain. I still don't know what I am paying for.
• If you are being overcharged, they don't care; they keep you on billing for something in a group.

It's a powerful tool for employee management and intuitive to use.

While it's one of the better apps, my only complaint is the icon layout of the dash; mouseover sometimes doesn't work for my system.

Every time I contact When I Work staff with an issue, someone is there with a quick solution to my problem. I love the chat feature. I can continue to work on other things while the When I Work representative assists me.

Make certain your team knows how to turn off alerts and utilise the system.

Maybe pricing was the issue, I was not involved in purchasing decision.

When I Work seemed a bit easier to implement for our team and employees. When I Work had all the things we needed without a lot of the bells and whistles that we wouldn't really utilize. When I Work was also a bit more affordable for our budget. Overall, it was the better choice.

• It helps us track our work hours.
• It helps us coordinate team schedule.

• Compared to what I've used before, When I Work allows you to interact with your staff more than other scheduling apps.
• Though I don't know the cost, I was told it was cheaper than it's counterparts.
• The app doesn't have all of the features as the full website, but it's pretty close.
