Roster Management
Roster Management streamlines resource organization by handling changes to positions, employee attributes, sales roles, and new hires/attritions, among other things.
What is Roster Management?
- Creating the roster attributes that will be used for management, reporting, and other downstream business logic.
- Planning for the Employees in the Roster (both existing employees and new hires)
- Managing and keeping track of the roster revisions based on Effective dates
- Ensuring that the roster plan is ready for downstream processes
Benefits of Roster Management
Flexibility
- Roster Management helps in understanding the availability of resources. This improves the flexibility of an organization to adapt to changes in the forecasting of resources
- If a sales rep goes on vacation or is terminated, promoted, or transferred to a different territory, another rep can be assigned to the position
- New hires that are available to take on new work can also be assigned to the position
Transparency
- Transparency of the real-time data about workforce availability helps managers pinpoint areas where costs can be trimmed and improve planning within an organization by providing a clear view of the resources that are available.
Accuracy and Reliability
- Correct data would flow through to sales planning, incentive compensation planning, and payroll processing, thus avoiding wrong performance calculations.
Audit
- A well-maintained Roster management maintains all the historical changes made to the workforce data and any movements can be tracked and used for legal or compliance purposes.
Best Practices for Roster Management
Data Governance
The Roster data would go into various data structures. Proper data governance in place ensures that everyone is aware of their responsibilities and the time required for the data to flow into the downstream system after the Roster is updated. It is important for all the owners to have an end to end knowledge of the data flow.
Architecture
The roster not only acts as a source of truth for numerous downstream systems, but it also receives data from multiple data sources. These multiple data sources can cause issues of data redundancy or data consistency. It is highly recommended to plan the final structure of the roster and map every field to its upstream source system.
Security
The Roster Management process should be secure with ownership of the process in hands of only a few responsible members. Users should be shown only the data for their department and edit access should be provided to only the managers.
