Why does organisations always switch the work schedule of staff regularly?

[Fidelia]

I notice that in the mall where I go to shop, staff don't have specific roles. A staff could be in the cash point today and by next week, he or she could be at the dispensing counter.

Why the frequent switch of staff between job roles?

You cannot generalize things like these, some businesses do this frequently while some business never do this

 

[eldavis]

It depends, for the organizations that do this, there are various reasons as to why they do this. It could be to prevent staffs getting used to a particular position where they can easily carry out fraudulent activities, or just to prevent them getting bored of a particular position where it would lead to unwillingness to work.

 

[Shavkat]

This is evident to BPO industry or well-known as call center companies. They do this in shifting, which is a normal working schedule for them.

Allowing staff to stay too long in a job schedule, they could easily become cabals and it later becomes hard to remove them.

I have also noticed this and I can’t even give a particular reason. A friend of mine who worked in the mall too has the same situation but can’t give a reason

I think this helps to stop the monotony and boredom on doing of the same routine in the workplace everyday.

 

[Ratine]

I think that helps on the determining of the abilities for the workers on different departments for the business.

I don't think that is the reason. The main reason would likely be to check the exceses of staff that might easily have too much power in one department.

They want to make their employees multiskilled so that the organization's work doesn't get affected if someone goes on leave or leaves the organization.

it is to shuffle them up to prevent staffgetting used to a particular position where they can easily carry out fraudulent activities,

That's just it. When they stay in a particular position for a long time, they become too powerful and you can't control them again.

What is important is that they need to be able to adapt to changing circumstances and to also ensure that they have the right people in the right place at the right time as well.

 

[Reedex]

Switching up the work schedule of staff regularly is more like just a fact of life and it happens in many so many industries.

The thing is, it's all about meeting the needs of the business and also satisfying the end user. As manager must know how important it is to achieve the goals of the organisation.

 

[uptrendfinancialsignal]

I think it's because most of the organizations are always trying to be very responsive to the needs of their customers as they need to be able to adapt to changes in the demands.

 

[Reedex]

This is all about being prepared for anything. You should know how important it is to be able to adapt to the changing circumstances.

 

[flower]

The importance is, They need to be able to respond to changes in demand and to also make sure they get enough staff on hand to actually meet that demand.

Another,it is to be able to adapt to the changing roles of the company. This brings flexibility

 

[Nite]

There could be different reasons for this. One possibility is that the management wants to make sure all employees can do different jobs and be skilled in various tasks.
