Schedule the right team for every shift

Imagine how easy it would be if you could automatically notify your team of new rotas? Well, you can with BrightHR.

Our smart rota planner makes it quick and easy to create rotas, add shifts, and assign staff. Plus, you can publish rotas online at the tap of a button.

Staff even get instant rota notifications with the handy BrightHR mobile app, so you can be 100% confident that your people always know when they should be working.
