SYD | Workforce Roundtable: From Spreadsheets to Smarter Decisions

Join us, and our member company INFORM, for an interactive session on how modern workforce management can move organisations beyond reactive scheduling.

What if workforce management no longer revolved around complex spreadsheets and constant manual adjustments? What if schedules could be created in a way that balances operational requirements with employee preferences, while remaining compliant and cost-efficient? And what if unexpected events such as sick leave or demand fluctuations no longer turned into immediate scheduling crises?

Together, we will look at how advanced optimisation, forecasting and employee-centred scheduling approaches can help organisations:

• Build robust, demand-driven schedules
• Reduce time spent on manual scheduling and rework
• Increase transparency and fairness in rostering
• Improve responsiveness to short-term changes

Across industries such as logistics, retail, manufacturing and healthcare, workforce complexity continues to grow. At the same time, expectations around flexibility, compliance and employee engagement are rising in the Australian market.

This session is designed for managers and decision-makers who want practical insights into how technology can support better scheduling outcomes, not as a theoretical concept, but as a realistic and implementable step forward.

We look forward to an open and practical discussion with peers who are ready to rethink how workforce management can work in their organisations.
