At BrightHR, we know how difficult the COVID-19 lockdown has been on small businesses like you.
That’s why we’ve created the Back to Work Navigator tool, to help you get your business back on its feet again in no time. Here’s how this exclusive software tool supports you…
Set up staggered shift times with ease
As per government guidelines, you should stagger shift times to help maintain social distancing in your workplace.
Your employees will still work their contracted hours, but you’ll need to alternate their start and end times to make sure they don’t all arrive and leave at the same time.
To help you plan for this, head to the Back to Work Navigator and click Create back to work schedules. Give the schedule a name, select a start date and click Add shift.
You can then create a tailored shift for one of your employees by choosing the start time, end time and break duration. Hit Continue to assign an employee to this shift.
Select Add shift to update the schedule. Repeat this process for all your employees and use the scheduling calendar to make sure there’s enough space between each shift.
Send company-wide notifications in no time
Use our quick notification tool to send important updates to all your staff.
Simply type out your announcement (up to 100 characters) and send it directly to your employees as an in-app notification.
This new feature makes it easier for you to communicate important information to your staff, such as when your business will reopen, as they can read it instantly on their mobiles.
Enable working statuses for your staff
As your business starts to get back to work, some of your people might return to the office while others continue to work from home.
To help you keep track of all your employees, you can enable working statuses in BrightHR. This lets your staff set a working status as either:
- Working from home
- At another site
- On a client visit
To give your staff permission to do this, head to the Back to Work Navigator and click Enable status for employees. Then on the settings page, click Enable next to Employee Status.
Get exclusive access to online training
BrightHR’s Back to Work Navigator comes with useful webinars, and online training courses, such as on COVID-19 risk assessments and health & safety management.
It covers everything you need to know about returning to work after the COVID-19 lockdown. This includes how to prepare your business, manage social distancing, and control access to your workplace.
Plus, you even get a certificate once you complete the final assessment.
