Sling

The majority of my employees are students, so I needed a way to keep our schedule organized for their chaotic lifestyles. Sling was perfect because it offered a mobile app version that was perfect for my students to use on their phones. Sling is easy for me to use and even easier for them to use.

• Messaging
• Mobile app capability
• Ease of use

• I spend 50% less time scheduling my employees
• My employees are 100% happier
• We use the free version, so we save 100% of cost!

I work for a smaller Assisted Living/Memory Care, we have 4 locations. We use Sling for a lot of our communication and almost all our staffing needs. Sling has been very helpful to cover shifts and to help with communication within our company. I like Sling because as a Staffing Coordinator I can easily see who is working where, we use different colors to signify bonuses and distinguish between office/aides. It has a messaging system, newsfeed & basically everything we need. We use the free version.

• Colors for each position (you get to pick)
• Ease of opening shifts and editing to split shifts etc.
• That they have a free option as we are a small company

• It has been much easier to fill shifts faster
• It's easy to train new staff on with ease

I manage a team of over 30 volunteers to ensure that 18 different workstations are scheduled each Sunday. I have found Sling to be the absolute best way to manage our operation. Features I like include the ability to match people with their specialized skills, the ability to draft schedules weeks in advance, but only publish to all users as needed, the color-coding available for various positions, and the additional chat features to keep all communication in one place; the desktop management and the app for everyone on the team, giving alerts when schedules are published and just in time advance notices of upcoming shifts. Sling is a very robust yet simple to use solution for anyone managing multiple people and workstations to ensure smooth operations.

• Pushing the schedule out to 30+volunteers through a single Publish button and all receiving the update on their app is huge.
• The ability to for users to schedule off well in advance.
• The communication chat channel built into the program.

• My ROI comes from the need to spend less time scheduling my volunteers each week, and Sling has been the single best tool I have found to help me reach that goal.
