Vacant visits found in "job finder" like the employee finder
AnsweredGiven our common issue is finding employees in a timely manner so we can fill un-serviced/vacant visits quickly. Although revenue is always an objective, an even bigger objection is employee retention! One of the main reasons why an employee will quit is because they don't have enough hours.
This idea would be to allow employees to see a certain level of information within a job board and "apply" on the vacant visit (so like the opposite of a shift offer - it would be like a shift request). The thought process is, why should we think we know what an employee wants, why not let them decide if they want or need more hours. The more our employees feel in control, the more empowered they are, the more satisfied they are and the the longer they stay. So we fill more hours, the employee makes more money and our clients are happy because there is less churn! #BetterOutcomes for us all.
As an extra layer, how amazing could this work if in multi-office settings, branches can interchange the need for a vacant shift amongst each other.
This idea was discussed in great length with our breakout group in our last CAB session in July (Aleem was our head Alayacare resource so he can give you more context). If you have any questions or need any more information, please let me know. I've mentioned the idea a few times to other key Alayacare players so if this is officially repeated on this forum, so sorry! Thank you

Hi everyone,
I had a chance to speak to the product team about this and given the level of interest, this idea will go into a review process to assess its feasibility. While I can't guarantee it will make it onto the roadmap, it's definitely something the team is taking into consideration. Thank you all for your valuable input!

This idea is great as I have seen it used in ShiftHound, and other hospital scheduling platforms. Listing available shifts for nurses to pick and choose was such an amazing feature. I already see a reduction in sending out seperate communications (texts, phone calls) because it's been difficult to get our nurses to utilize the AlayaCare app. Our staff is more willing to look at a regular text rather than opening up the AlayaCare application when they receive a notification of a vacant visit.
