How are you using workforce management today?
We have been relying on ATOSS Workforce Management since 2004. In the meantime, we have implemented the working time management, access control and workforce scheduling modules. Duty plans can be generated automatically as and when required. Via the Employee & Manager Self Services (EMS), our employees have been managing their working time and absence themselves for quite some time now. In 2022, the EMS portal was replaced by the Staff Center. Task management and its administration in the dashboard is now digital and much easier. Today, around 5,900 employees are working efficiently with the ATOSS platform at our locations in Germany and Austria. The smooth connection to our Vetter HR system landscape (for example SAP SuccessFactors, SAP HCM) is naturally especially beneficial for us.
What is the most significant benefit of your workforce management solution?
Our employees and managers are now far more autonomous. All the information on working time and absence is available transparently, by no means with the necessary protection of personal data at the same time. Naturally, this is something that our HR team benefits from: We have a significantly reduced administrative workload and greater transparency. Smooth production processes are essential for Vetter. With the ATOSS software we are able to map the complex shift systems with corresponding allowance rules, for night or weekend work, for example. This information is very valuable for us, because the software independently calculates shift allowances, for instance.
What future challenges will you be solving with workforce management?
Like many other companies, we are facing the HR challenges of the future, such as skills shortages and the need for more flexible work practices. And that is not easy in manufacturing. With ATOSS as a specialist by our side, we are able to develop new approaches for more flexible working time models for all employees. The topic of part-time work, particularly in a production environment, is something we are already thinking about today. We also want to unlock further potential in workforce scheduling so that we, with digital support, will be able to plan in line with demand while taking the necessary qualifications into account. Thanks to the Staff Center Mobile App, employees will now be able to access their data whenever and wherever they want to.
