Mary Kay Monday, May 21, 2012 at 3:29PM In the short span that I was with HotSchedules, I realized that the company has found the secret to success. What’s the secret, you ask? Brace yourself. What you’re about to read is classified information…
Mary Kay Wednesday, May 16, 2012 at 4:40PM Today was the kick-off of our new monthly Best Practices webinar series. These are designed to give existing customers a piece of our “power user” insight so they can get the absolute most out of HotSchedules. Each month we’ll feature a different deep dive session so that all of our customers can hone their skills and squeeze as much ROI out of the tools as they can. If you’ve never used HotSchedules, you might still consider joining one of these sessions to see some of the in-depth reports and functionality our solutions deliver.

HotSchedules Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 11:03AM It was a dark and stormy night...
Actually...it might have been a nice, calm afternoon. I can’t really remember. But what I do remember is the sweet taste of great company culture, along with some fantastic salsa and dip!
On March 8th, the Hotties here at HotSchedules competed against one another in a Salsa & Dip competition (of course, we had to involve something HOT!). Over 15 employees entered the contest, and even more offered their expertise as “Official HotSchedules Salsa & Dip Tasters.” We had Texadelphia Cheesesteak Dip, 4th and Five Dip, Shrimp Dip, and many more.
The votes were in and only 3 dishes remained:
Ray Gallagher’s Ray’s Roasted Salsa
Andrew Stevens’ Elsa’s Lazy Salsa
Kyle Kotyk’s Texadelphia Cheesesteak Dip
At HotSchedules, we’re always looking for ways to spice things up, and this contest was a great way of keeping things hot. We appreciate all the hard work and participation of the Hotties, and we’re looking forward to the future competitions.
As an extra bonus, we’d like to share some of the winning recipes from the competition, so you can try them out at home yourself. Children may need help from their parents when it comes to creating the dishes, while parents may need help from their children when it comes to “cleaning up” the dishes :) ENJOY!
Ray G Friday, March 23, 2012 at 10:58AM Why do we as managers take for granted the phenomenal opportunity we have in making deliberately great employee schedules? Why is it that we copy and paste the same shifts for the same employees every time? Why do we allow ourselves to lose great people because we didn’t take a few extra minutes to write strategic, performance-based schedules? Why did we let the drama play out negatively because we chose the wrong actors? These questions could go on and on. I believe the answer lies somewhere between complacency (managing the status quo) and plain old convenience. It is simply easier to take the last schedule and reuse it, despite its negative impacts and significant cost.
