What is Workforce Management?

Workforce management refers to the strategic and operational planning of staff deployment – with the goal of having the right employees at the right place at the right time.

Workforce Management includes workforce scheduling, staff management, time management, and communication with the team. Workforce management systems assist operations and HR by automating, visualizing, and optimizing staff deployment.
