Online volunteers roster
ShiftPlanner is a online planning tool that makes scheduling volunteers easy. With an account, the administrator simply puts the shifts in the roster and invites volunteers to assign themselfs for shifts. Swapping shifts between them is simple.
With many advantages such as handy overviews, automatic reminders and links to a calendar, ShiftPlanner saves you a lot of time.
Do you always want an up-to-date schedule with an overview of your open hours? Try ShiftPlanner the first year for free.
It's fun to be a coordinator with ShiftPlanner!
The relationship between coordinator and the volunteer is different from that of the employee and therefore uses a different approach. We regard volunteers as heroes. The tone in the application is different and in addition you can customize certain text blocks to better suit your organization.
For the coordinator
- Once you've created a roster, volunteers can log in and sign up for shifts.
- You can assign shifts directly to your volunteers via the platform.
- You determine whether or not your volunteers can swap/transfer their shifts.
- You can view shift data and maintain oversight of your schedule. Useful statistics are available.
- You can also download timesheets as an Excel or CSV file.
- You can define additional fields to collect information that is relevant to your organization.
- You can customize text blocks so they better match the needs of your organization.
- You can make use of extra tools for when shifts are compulsory.
- You can rest assured that reminders are sent out to your volunteers automatically.
For the volunteers
- No need to remember yet another password; you can log in directly via a unique access token, which is sent to you by the administrator.
- You can choose shifts from a predefined list or timetable.
- You can see shifts that have been taken and the people with whom you'll be working.
- You can automatically add shifts to your own calendar.
- You have the option to personalize your profile and upload a photo.
- You can find and contact other volunteers.
- If you have assigned to a shift that you can no longer do, you have the option to swap that shift with another person.
