Roster Management

Roster management is another term for schedule management, since a roster (also called a rota) is essentially a schedule. Managing one typically means keeping a list of employees along with details like their location, shift timing, and responsibilities for a given period, whether that is a sports season, a month, or a week.

Roster management is common in organizations that run morning, afternoon, and evening shifts. The goal is to make sure each shift has enough employees so productivity does not suffer.

A well-designed roster also makes it easier to spot what is causing problems in shift management.
