which makes them easily understood and can be
referred to regularly.

workforce levels and the progress towards teams
work targets.
• Have access to information on your team such as
current payroll records.

• When records/feedback is analysed, be able
to identify areas for improvements in workforce
levels and/or work schedules.
You can ensure that suffi cient team members are
available by:

unexpected tasks and busy periods of time.

holiday/days off at the same time.
• Installing as much fl exibility in your workforce as
possible.
• Plan for tasks with a high workload.
• Where possible, mix the level of skills and
experience of staff.
• Consult team members when producing team
rotas as this helps to create a culture of fairness
and mutual support and takes into account any
requests for holidays or days off.
• Avoid being seen as favouring one team member
more than another by weighting unsocial hours
unfairly.
