Capacity & segmentation of staff

This is a screen shot of the workforce management landing screen, in Tempo, showing the first ‘baked in‘ segmentation of staff users for the organisation – according to their professional roles, as tabbed groups, each listing staff electronic records.

Within those role groups staff are further divided into employment relationship to the organisation.

The Teams section of Tempo allows then the design of any bespoke groupings of people, for many purposes: leave rules, capacity planning, line-management and service line intelligence.

But, this initial standard segmentation of staff is important for at least 2 reasons:

  1. In order to establish a compliant, standardised electronic staff record as a baseline for capacity and a fixed point onto which capacity designs can be anchored.
  2. For the ability to rota staff, within the right groups

Capacity

Tempo can count organisational workforce capacity in sophisticated ways, including leave, across both baked in segments and arbitrary segments, created by Teams. The baked in segments of capacity are firstly the staff roles shown above and, secondly, the modular structure of the hub itself.

What are modules?

Modules are a way to Demand & capacity. In real terms they are a way to organise rota design across sites, people and services. They are also a way to segment and count capacity.
