Caroline F
HR Director
5.0

Caroline F.: I'm Caroline. I'm the HR Director. The company size is... So it's three branches, a total of 1,500 full-time employees, so medium-ish big, and Nowsta five stars. So scheduling and timekeeping is the number... and ratings also for employees. The ease of which I can navigate between three companies and have three different branches in one app, and I can switch from one to the other really fast. I also like the ease of how it interacts with all my payroll system, but also my scheduling system where it interacts with Caterease, so I can pull the events into Nowsta really easily from Caterease. So those are one of the best things for me. So I had a call with them a few weeks ago, and they showed me this new part where they can... like tracking data and data analytics. So, for me, one of the main things is to be able to manipulate more of those reports and pull reports that I want to see. So being able to create the reports that I would like to and not just have cookie-cutter kind of reports that they think we need. I want to have more control over my reporting, if that makes sense. Also, I think there should be a way for the employees to be able to communicate with their managers through Nowsta without having to see people's phone numbers. I think of a little Communication tab where they can communicate with their on-call people through there and send messages to each other. At least to their managers, not to everyone, if that makes sense.
