Royal Albert Hall

Used and trusted by one of London’s most iconic venues

“As the Royal Albert Hall is one of the world’s busiest venues, our Front of House team runs some of the most complex shift patterns you’ll find. StaffSavvy has adapted to everything we throw at it and is transforming the way in which we manage our team.

The fact that employees are responsible for updating their own profiles and availability really helps lift the time burden from our administration team. The platform has helped us make our rota, timesheet and payroll processes much more efficient. It’s smart and simple to use and saves time and money on the way we used to operate.”

The Results

  • Comprehensive employment contract management

    Automatic rota to contracted hours, with the ability for staff to ask to work more

  • Staff access to view and swap shifts within skills and maintaining minimum contracted hours

  • Detailed reporting on holiday allowances and usage

  • Easier management for team leaders

  • Significant reduction in hours required to complete rotas

  • Rotas are more accurate and do not require manual updates if there are changes

  • Staff can see all the details about their shifts in one place that is always up to date

“StaffSavvy successfully replaced several different systems with a single unified rota and a formal messaging platform. It saves our managers hours of work every week compared to the system it replaced; it’s a winner!”

Loved by the arts industry

“Woolwich Works has been using StaffSavvy for five years now. It really simplifies the process when you have different staff types, such as volunteers and casual staff, who aren’t always included in the all-staff emails. But here, everyone is on StaffSavvy, and we can easily communicate with all our staff, no matter their contract type.”

Shane Delaney
Operations Director, Woolwich Works

“Each of our teams, including salaried staff, contracted staff and freelancers, requires different types of management and shift patterns.

The managers save a lot of time and energy by using the integrated system and can quickly generate payroll exports to pass to their external payroll department.”

“What started out as a project to align everyone on the same scheduling platform has turned into something even better for the whole organisation.

Our payroll and timesheet admin time has been reduced significantly, saving individual teams between 10 and 20 hours a month, it’s remarkable.”
