In this week's Podcast, I am going to talk about the secrets to make your employee scheduling more efficient. Don't be afraid, look at your SOP and employee handbook, do they set you and your employees up for success?
Biggest Takeaways You Don’t Want To Miss
How Does Your Business Handle Employee Route Schedules?
Giving your employees the freedom to set their own schedules using time blocks can save time and money. However... are they trained to be able to do this correctly? Look at your systems and processes and ask yourself if you are just doing the work because you are afraid to let them take it over?
SOP and Employee Handbooks
Having an SOP and Employee handbook that streamlines this process will help you not have to micromanage. Employees will be more responsive if you are able to provide them with the trust that they can hit all their appointments as they need to and have you there to help them if they are unable to create their own route.
Is Fear Controlling Your Decisions?
Don't let fear be the thing that holds you back. Fear comes from the unknown so make things known. This helps you take those steps that desperately need to be taken to make your business more efficient and get the most out of your employees. They want to do good and help you but micromanaging can prevent them from being able to do this.

Scheduling your team can feel like a full-time job on its own—especially when you’re growing, trying to accommodate different availabilities, and making sure clients’ needs are met.
So today, we’re diving into the secrets behind employee scheduling. I’ve worked with so many pet sitting and dog walking business owners who say that scheduling their team is one of their biggest headaches.
