Calling off work is the easiest thing to do, right?
Maybe not, and maybe that breakdown in communications is costing you a lot more than you think.
Sheila Stafford, co-founder and CEO of TeamSense, joined us for Episode 112 to explain how her company's platform to facilitate offtime call-ins for your team members can actually reduce absenteeism and improve productivity.
Sheila learned all this firsthand in her time on the floors of various manufacturing operations. The dysfunctional communication methods she witnessed for herself inspired her to help found and launch TeamSense.
Here are some highlights from our chat:
7:30 - manufacturing-specific design - careers vs. jobs
8:40 - it's not an app, so people don't get bent out of shape about you commandeering their personal devices
11:00 - remove manual processes and multiple different contact methods, and automate the data
12:30 - fix language barriers!
18:30 - it's an employee portal!
22:00 - facilitate schedule and vacation management
25:30 - future opportunity: leverage AI to add more automation
Tune in for an extremely educational conversation!
