With STAFFeasy, the Company’s Staffing Coordinators spend much less time scheduling and communicating to employees.  Since STAFFeasy is the central platform for all events, as well as employee availability, skills and contact information, when an event is in need of staff last minute, the system goes to work to find who is available and qualified, and begins sending out notifications to get the position staffed, with little to no human intervention.

“STAFFeasy has cut down significantly on the amount of daily e-mails and phone calls that need a response.  It makes my staff more responsible for their scheduling because they have to input and update their availability to work if they want to be scheduled.  We looked at another system, but STAFFeasy stood out based on recommendations.”

- Abigail Kirsch , Staffing Coordinator

Workers can also check STAFFeasy online from any computer with an Internet browser to see job openings, and can indicate their interest on-the-fly.  They can also input their work schedule preferences online.  This allows the Company to secure the best possible workforce for the event months in advance.   STAFFeasy also manages overtime by sending alerts if an employee is approaching overtime or has been double booked.

“Wolfgang Puck is one of the most influential chef-restaurateurs in the United States and the world, and is emphatic about attention to detail.  The Academy Awards receptions are by no means the largest or most complex endeavors that we take on as part of our day-to-day business, but they are perhaps our highest profile.  To give ourselves the best possible chance to succeed at making every aspect perfect, we chose STAFFeasy.”

Eliminating the need for a staffing division was high priority for the Company, and STAFFeasy was able to help.  STAFFeasy incorporated all of W3’s event requirements and contractor’s work preferences and qualifications.  In just a few clicks, STAFFeasy began making staffing decisions and sending out notifications by e-mail and text message to contractors about event work and filling vacant positions.

Now with STAFFeasy, W3’s scheduling is performed by just one person instead of a division, and the many problems it was having under its previous manual process no longer exist.  “Automating our scheduling process was a major undertaking for us.  STAFFeasy has made our Company more efficient, our contractors more informed, our office staff more professional, and has decreased the time spent scheduling staff to events by 70%.”
