New Facebook Contest Question (#6): Company Culture

Thanks to those that sent in such great photos for Question 5. For those of you who didn’t get a chance, we may run another photo contest later this year or next year, so be on the lookout for that. Congratulations to winner, Gabrielle Eggleston (of Carino's Italian in Cedar Park, Texas), who is taking home the HotSchedules prize package including 5 gift cards to a few of our customer restaurants, iTunes, and Best Buy. Check out Gabrielle's creative entry below:

"I'm sending a picture of me accessing hotschedules on my laptop...IN SPAIN! I'm studying abroad for a few weeks and this is from my residencia."

Now, it’s time to pick up the pace. We’re counting on all of you to spread the word to your friends, co-workers, and other restaurants using HotSchedules to join us on Facebook so we can reach our goal of 10,000 Facebook fans for our 10th anniversary! Check here for a reminder of the rules for our contest — in a nutshell, we are posting a new question every 2 weeks, and you can answer once on Facebook for each question. At the end of the 2 weeks, we’ll randomly select a winner from all the Facebook responses and post the next question.

With question #6, we want to talk CULTURE. Company culture is shaped by shared values, ethics and beliefs within a company that are usually influenced by individual personality of founders or the leadership team — and also by the collective personality of the company and all its employees. Many of our customers tell us that HotSchedules has become an integral part of their company culture — and we want to know what YOU think.

This one is a 2-parter, but we promise it will be very quick and easy to answer:

PART 1: Would you consider HotSchedules a positive part of your company culture?
A) Strongly agree
B) Agree
C) Neutral
D) Disagree
E) Strongly Disagree

PART 2: Why or why not?

Thanks again for your participation, and we look forward to seeing your answers! This question will be live until August 25.

A....it keeps people accountable, reduces miscommunication and frees up the managers to do more important things than keep track of special needs or requests written on scraps of paper and turned in last minute and handing out phone numbers and info to staff trying to cover shifts .

[Christy Kae]

I strongly agree because it does keep people accounable , its makes it so easy for management and keep track of everyones special needs. Also it saves time and money for us to check schedules through our phone and computer cause we all are now all in the technology revolution. No more paper.

A- so just got an iPhone and I bought the hotschedules app and it is the most amazing thing in the world. I tend to forget what my in-time is and so I am constantly signing on to see my in-time and also to see who else is working. My last comment is that hotschedules is so Eco-friendly no more binders with pages and pages of peoples scribbles and no more searching fir the shift change book!

[Claire Sweem]

A-strongly agree! It's hard to believe that our company even functioned without hotschedules at one point. HS keeps everything so straight and secure with the company and I feel like we communicate a lot more. It's huge for our company culture!

A I think its a great tool to have because it allows everyone to communicate and when you need a shift covered everyone who logs in can see it and you can reach more people than just talking or calling other co workers!
