Vassar Brothers Medical Center Adopts New Staff Scheduling App

Hospital security department takes staff scheduling online with ScheduleAnywhere

Fargo, ND - November 29, 2017 - Atlas Business Solutions, Inc. announced today that Vassar Brothers Medical Center Security Services of Poughkeepsie, NY has chosen and implemented ScheduleAnywhere as their staff scheduling solution for security staff.

Prior to using the staff scheduling app, the department used spreadsheets for scheduling, which was very labor intensive and inefficient in terms of communicating and delivering current data. With personnel scheduling changes occurring frequently, it became problematic to not have a solution that could keep pace with the frequent updates. Additionally, the master schedule was posted in one central location requiring staff to physically be on site to view the latest updates to the schedule.

By moving to cloud-based ScheduleAnywhere, employees have installed the ScheduleAnywhere mobile app on each of their smartphones and now have confidence in knowing when they have to work without doubting whether they have the most current schedule.

When Vassar Brothers Medical Center Security Department chose to move to ScheduleAnywhere, officers and staff embraced the change immediately. Even the most computer challenged staff members easily managed and negotiated through the implementation process.

Security Supervisor Kenneth Donato has even found some intangibles with the change.

"ScheduleAnywhere has become a crucial component in our team building efforts, which then manifested into a significant increase in employee engagement and morale," says Donato. "Additionally, the increased ability to manage and control their own schedules has empowered our staff to be more responsible with their employment expectations."

Mr. Donato continues, "I have held many positions in my career, including Chief of Police, and varying Director and Executive Director positions, and I have found that ScheduleAnywhere has proven to be the best tool for managing, planning, and organizing personnel scheduling in a 24/7/365 environment."
