SEATTLE, July 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Shiftboard, a
global leader in employee scheduling and workforce management
solutions, today announced its expansion into Europe as part of the company's commitment to
help enterprise customers around the world lower labor costs, while
increasing employee productivity and engagement. Led by recently
hired Vice President of International Operations Ian Herbert-Jones. Shiftboard's European
expansion is highlighted by a new London-based sales and support team as well as
increased multi-lingual support within the Shiftboard platform.
Additionally, Shiftboard's European expansion is backed by the
company's compliance with the European Union's new General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) laws which went into effect on
May 25th.
"Our platform can help companies all across Europe, who have been underserved by
traditional workforce management solutions, automate the scheduling
of hourly workers and streamline their workforce management
processes to increase engagement with their employees and save
money," said Shiftboard President and CEO Sterling Wilson. "Given the diversity in culture
and language across the continent, our new multi-language support
will provide employers of all sizes with highly-configurable
solutions to support their scheduling and workforce
operations."
The Shiftboard platform provides increased access for users
across Europe supporting several
additional languages including Spanish, Portuguese, French and
Dutch. In support of new GDPR laws, Shiftboard now fully complies
to GDPR standards with processes and systems for handling its
customers' - and their employees' - personal data. While the new
regulations focus on customers within the EU, Shiftboard's data
security improvements will apply to all its customers
worldwide.
Unlike traditional workforce management solutions that focus on
salaried employees, Shiftboard was designed and built specifically
around the hourly worker, where scheduling, real-time
communication, and responding to change are at the core of
day-to-day operations. Shiftboard customers report an 8 times
payback on their investment due to Shiftboard's automation of key
workforce scheduling operations including labor forecasting,
workforce readiness, worker availability, backfilling, time and
attendance, reporting and analysis, and integration with payroll
and other back office systems.
One of Shiftboard's key partners in Europe is Bullhorn, the global leader in CRM
and operations software for the recruitment industry. "Shiftboard
is a valuable partner for offering scheduling automation to our
staffing industry customers worldwide. Their expanded European
presence will be well received by Bullhorn customers," said
Peter Linas, Executive Vice
President of Corporate Development and International at Bullhorn.
"Through this highly integrated solution, Bullhorn customers can
shorten the time to find and place candidates, streamline
scheduling operations, and reduce labor costs."
Shiftboard will be demonstrating its scheduling and workforce
management platform at the upcoming Bullhorn Engage London 2018
conference being held September 11-12
at the Hilton London Metropole Hotel. For more information visit
