Makeshift in Strathmore

Overall experience is very good from the product itself, to the online support.

PROS

Integration was fairy easy, we had lot's of support. Features are easy to use and customize to what our company needs.

CONS

One of the features I would like to see changed is when an employee puts in their availability it shows up on their schedule but if a shift is requested on this day it does not reflect their availability and hours outside of the availability are still scheduled in. I have also found shifts have been put into the wrong schedule from that employee that requested and was granted the shift.

Vendor Response

Thank you so much for your feedback Susan! If you have any difficulties with your schedule, please feel free to reach out to our support team at support@makeshift.ca so we can investigate and correct the issue!

Difficult communication for overtime

Overall good, except with above

PROS

It's easy to see what shifts are open and who's working them

CONS

When you bid on a shift, you should be able to leave a note with it if there's a special circumstance like only available partial shift or if it would be overtime. This inability is beyond annoying when you have to email a scheduler first before bidding in special circumstances

Vendor Response

Hi Rhon, thank you for your feedback. We will be sure to pass along your comments to our product team for future enhancements to our product! If you have any other comments, please feel free to reach out to support@makeshift.ca.

Health care worker Alberta review of Makeshift

Love this tool, use it daily.

PROS

Very easy to use. I love using the 'dashboard' feature for a snap shot of exactly who is scheduled to come in for any given shift and what our needs are.

CONS

When using dashboard - I would like a quicker way to forward to a date that is further out than a week or two. It would be nice to be able to advance without clicking for each day in between. Also, it would be nice to be able to see highlighted when we are over or under our baseline.

Reasons for switching to MakeShift

We were directed to as all rural sites were moving to makeshift.

Vendor Response

Hi Joanne, thank you for your review! That is a great idea for our dashboard, and we will be sure to pass along your comments to our product team!

Makeshift review

PROS

The most impactful part of makeshift for our hospital is that employees can see there schedule and request without calling the staffing office or contacting the unit. they are able to switch shifts and request trades in the app. we are also able to send announcements and individual messages if need be.

CONS

I would really like to be able to see the history or shifts that have been removed from employee's schedule and also be able to re enable a trade if you accidently decline and forgot the dates

Vendor Response

Thank you for your detailed comments Stacey! Shift audits and histories are available - if you would like more information, please feel free to reach out at support@makeshift.ca!
