In construction, software should provide a team with transparency. It should benefit the project manager, clients, and everyone involved. When you rely on construction scheduling software, it encourages more productive interactions, which will lead to a more open and honest company.
You will never achieve full productivity because there are too many factors at play. That doesn’t mean you can’t increase your productivity, however, and when your team are engaged, everyone clearly communicates, they are given the correct tools for the jobs they do, and distractions are limited, they will be more productive on the whole. That is where scheduling software comes into play.
Scheduling software allows you to plan your project activities to prioritise how your team spend their time and achieve the right goals at the right time. It outlines when your employees work, from what times, and what they will do during these periods. How does that improve transparency in your organisation?
Improved Communication
There is no better way to create transparency than with open and robust communication. Teamwork is much easier when there is a facility available to nurture collaboration. Scheduling software provides your team with the ability to communicate easily, tag others, send messages instantly, and leave comments for the team. It encourages open communication, which invites idea-sharing.
Increased Trust
With an increase in communication and honesty encouraged, there is an increase in trust across the entire team. It doesn’t just help everyone get to know each other better; it lets the team grow comfortable with sharing more. A team that trusts each other is confident in offering (and accepting) difficult feedback, they are also confident to admit when they make a mistake because they know the correction is coming from a good place.
More Accountability
Accountability is important – the ability to hold oneself accountable and to hold each other accountable. Scheduling software provides you with the features you need to make that accountability happen. With a cloud-based software platform, everyone’s project role is clearly defined. The tasks each person has been assigned are clearly marked beneath their name and title. That means everyone in the team knows who is responsible for what and when it should be delivered by. This will prevent finger-pointing when things go wrong, but more importantly, it allows your team to be accountable for their roles without miscommunication about what is on their list.
Smoother Client Interactions
As important as transparency is for your team, it’s important for your clients, too. With scheduling software, you can carefully (and automatically) track what your clients’ core concerns are, whether it’s billable hours or the timeline. You can easily grab the information your clients want most and keep them informed regularly; so they know the job is being done well and their money was well invested when they chose you.
Privacy
There are additional permissions you can customise to protect confidential information. There are a variety of data points only the project manager will need to see, so you can make those private.
Scheduling is the most efficient way to manage two key resources – your time and your people. Scheduling software helps you create a balanced workload and clear communication to keep your team on time, on task, and happy.
