We have been creating new shift
operations for 25 years for many of the
world’s leading multi-nationals.
A 55 minute video all about setting up a
Holiday Management Plan.
Holidays are the bane of all Manager’s lives.
There are so many of them and so little time to
fit them in. And everyone wants the same time
off!
This video is about managing the holidays so
that the effects of holidays on the business are
minimised.
Full of practical information and examples.
Your Shift allowance will often be your biggest
expense after the wages bill. Bigger than your
materials, energy supply, pensions, and everything
else you pay for.
So do you know why you even need one? Or how
much you should pay? Should the shift allowance
be different for different groups or shifts?
This course is 13 videos telling you all about why
you have a shift allowance. It tells you the most
common methods used to calculate new shift
allowances for new shift operations.
If you are changing your operation, you should
apply the right shift allowance to make it fair to
your employees and your organisation
A series of books covering the most common
problems encountered in shift operations.
How do know how many people to employ?
What causes fatigue that you can change?
Which are the most popular shift patterns?
How you can predict absences so they don’t
affect the operation
We have set up the most popular shifts patterns,
ready to use in Excel.
Examples range from ‘Office Hours’, to 5-day
operations, to 7-day operations.
We have all heard of the 12-hour ‘continental
Shifts’ aka ‘4on-4off’, but did you know that
there are 6 versions?
And, it is not the most popular 12-hour shift
pattern, instead more workers select the ‘232’
option where they work 2 or 3 shifts and have 2
or 3 days off.
We all need to set up a Migration Plan to move workers
to a new operation.
Everyone will be working differently to before, but will
have made arrangements, such as holidays and
medical appointments, not to mention buying tickets to
events, based on the old way of working.
So you need to know how to move people seamlessly
from one way of working to the new way.
We cover the process in a 5 videos taking about 45
minutes.

Banked Hours, sometimes known as
‘Reserved Hours’ is a powerful tool for
managing unexpected events such as
sickness, elective surgery, authorised leave
(bereavement, etc),force majuere events, ad-
hoc and peak workloads. Also it acts a
contingency of hours for unforeseen events.
It is a method of flexible working at little
cost, and sometimes at zero cost, to the
organisation.
The staff contract to work extra hours only
when they are needed thus guaranteeing
your continuity of service.
This guide shows you how to set it up and
run it effectively.
Approx 3 hours of videos spread over 37
lessons.

How To Manage Your Shift Pattern Course
is a 2-day course on overcoming a major obstacle to
improving the productivity of your organisation.
Imagine a working environment where staff holidays and
sickness absence have no effect on the organisation.
That is what our course is all about.
For over 25 years we have been setting up shift
operations for organisations, small and large, and once
that operation is in place, we design out the effects of
holidays and absences. This course is about how to do it
in the way we do it.
The course is accredited by CPD, it take two days to
complete and you will be awarded 15 cpd points. You can
take the course at work, at home or on the train, wherever
you like to study. You will be able to start implementing
the solutions in your organisation immediately thereafter.
The course consists of about 15 hours of study along with
quizzes and downloads. Pre-Covid we hosted the 2-day
course regularly at UK venues, however that world has
now gone, and in many ways the new on-line course is
much better as you can take it at your pace and not ours.
The learning is deeper, more absorbing and will stay with
you forever. It is also a useful feature of on-line courses
that you can go back to it to view it again and again.

We are often asked: what is it that we actually do?
Well, we work with the world’s leading companies to set up their Shift Operations to match their workloads.
Most workloads vary with time:
1. There are annual variations where the workload goes up and down on a seasonal basis.
2. There are weekly variations where weekdays and weekends have different workloads.
3. There are daily variations where the work changes over the 24-hours.
4. There are unpredictable workloads that vary randomly.
5. There are the one-off workloads that occur during the day, or for a day, or a week.
We create shift operations that match these exacting requirements.
Well, what we do is to organise how a shift operation runs so that it becomes self-contained.
There are 12 steps in the process and these are:
1.

3.
We set up a Holiday Management Plan so staff holidays are no longer a problem
