Nurse manager Brief

Staffing Panic Out, Team Development and Sanity In

Works OnDemand: Automate your staffing headaches so you can focus on patient care and staff development

As a Nurse Leader, you're caught in an impossible situation. You spend hours each day chasing staff to cover call-offs and open shifts. You negotiate incentive pay, balancing productivity targets with team satisfaction. The work you are passionate about - patient safety oversight, staff mentorship, quality improvement - is sacrificed. It's exhausting, and it's putting you and your team at risk of burnout.

How Works OnDemand Changes Your Day

Works connects to your existing scheduling system to take the burden of shift coverage off your plate entirely. Instead of spending hours calling and texting staff, Works automatically matches your needs to appropriately skilled staff from your unit and others nearby with excess capacity - prioritizing your team members and setting the correct incentives without you. Time rediscovered.

Works OnDemand Gives You Back Time and Focus By:

Automating Open Shift Recruitment and Incentive Assignment: Works notifies qualified staff about open shifts and manages the entire claiming process - no more calls, texts, or approval steps. The system also sets and adjusts shift premiums automatically based on demand and available supply, eliminating uncomfortable pay negotiations that can strain your relationship with your team.

Illuminating Fill Rate and Productivity Data: You have real-time visibility into fill rate and incentive metrics, giving you data to justify workload planner and staffing level changes.
