Understanding the Importance of Employee Qualification Management

Ever wonder why it’s important to stay on top of employee qualification management? Well, there’s a number of reasons it’s important;

Compliance

There’s a reason that your employees need these certificates in the first place. It might be a legal requirement, or maybe an industry standard. Either way, you need to ensure that your organization is compliant across the board.compliance

For example, if you employ security guards, Security Guard registration only lasts 2 years. Armed guards, in particular, will need to manage/renew a certification.

Enhance Employee Performance

It goes without saying that the more qualifications and certifications an employee has, the more valuable they are to your organization. They can slot into more roles, and perform at a higher level. Effective employee qualification management is KEY to ensuring employee performance and safety are maintained in your organization.

Operational Efficiency

Now that you know how important it is to stay on top of employee qualifications, you might be wondering how that actually impacts operations. Having all of these tracked and managed effectively means you can schedule employees wherever their needed without disrupting shifts due to lack of qualification for particular jobs.

But that all sounds very time consuming right? Documenting qualifications, tracking expiry dates and ensuring new certificates are obtained on time. That’s almost a full time job right there if you have more than 100 employees! Lucky for you, Celayix workforce management software has a dedicated feature just for this!

Celayix Employee Qualification Management

With Celayix, you can assign employee qualifications and certifications to employee profiles. Let’s look at this in more detail!

Seamless Input of Qualification Details

When you’re adding employees to your Celayix account, you can input information about existing qualifications/certifications including expiry dates. This will be beneficial to you for 2 main reasons:

1. Proactive Alerts and Notifications

qualification management - expiration notificationIf you’ve input the expiry date of the qualification on an employee profile, both you the scheduler and the employee will be notified of an impending expiry. You will be alerted when the qualification is 30 or 60 days away from expiring, depending on your preference. No more manually checking a list once a month to ensure everyone is qualified as expected.

Aside from these alerts and notifications, employers can filter their employee list based on expiring qualifications based on;

  • Expired qualifications
  • Expiring within 7 days
  • Expiring within 30 days
  • Expiring within 60 days
  • Without any qualifications

This can be useful if you ever need to take note of your current workforce situation to identify gaps in the workforce, or get ahead of expirations for groups of employees!

2. Optimizing Scheduling with Qualification Filters

If your workforce depends on qualified employees, your schedule does too! So, you could manually ensure that whatever employees you’re scheduling have the required qualifications. Or, you could rely on Celayix employee scheduler, which will pull information from the employee profile to ensure they are qualified!

failed employee qualifications alertWhen setting your schedule, all you have to do is create shifts based on qualifications. So, if a shift requires 2x armed guards and 1x security guard, you just tell the system that. Then, when you fill the shift, you will be alerted if you try to assign an under-qualified person to the shift!

This also works for self-scheduling and shift bidding – only those that are qualified will be notified and able to claim those shifts! Autofill also uses this information so that if you’ve automated the employee scheduling process, you can rest assured that only qualified people will be assigned to those shifts!

Managing employee qualifications and certifications is not just about compliance, but also about unlocking the full potential of your workforce. Celayix offers a comprehensive solution, ensuring that your employee qualification management is as seamless and efficient as your operations.

Improper Shift Scheduling Health Impacts: Latest Research

Shift work was shown to increase the risk of circadian syndrome by about 57% (adjusted odds ratio, 1.57). This means that people working shifts were 1.57 times more likely to develop circadian syndrome compared to those with regular day shifts. This result is highly reliable, with a 95% confidence interval between 1.23 and 2.01, and the likelihood of this being a chance finding is very low (P < .001).
