a Better Working Environment Using Your CMMS"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>In an ideal world, your technicians are one step ahead of you.\u00a0 You phone them with an emergency work order, and they have anticipated your call, finishing up their current assignment right on schedule.\u00a0 They work right up to the minute they\u2019re scheduled to clock out, with all jobs completed and no overtime necessary.\u00a0 They\u2019re punctual, reliable and accountable, always ready to take the ball and run with it.\u00a0 And they understand the mission of the company, and are willing to do what it takes to complete it.<\/p>\n<p>If you have employees such as this\u2014even one\u2014congratulate yourself.\u00a0 Such an employee is a hard find these days.\u00a0 The recent economic woes have forced many companies to manage with fewer employees, leading to a definite decrease in morale.\u00a0 Some companies took it upon themselves to lay off the employees with the highest salaries\u2014usually, the most experienced and dependable technicians\u2014leaving behind an inadequate workforce.\u00a0 As a result, maintenance managers find themselves trying to stay on schedule with a skeleton crew, causing more frustration and even lower morale.\u00a0 The question then remains; how do you create a stellar crew from the hand that you\u2019ve been dealt?<\/p>\n<p>Many successes in this area have started with a quality Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).\u00a0\u00a0 Most experienced maintenance providers have relied on CMMS for preventive maintenance scheduling, automated work orders, and other features necessary to better manage assets.\u00a0 But how does a system build a better workforce?\u00a0 By recognizing that the employee is one of the businesses greatest assets, and maintaining them in a manner that makes them, like other assets, more efficient and reliable.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the ways a good CMMS does this is:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a title=\"Optimize Human Resource Utilization\" href=\"http:\/\/www.psiwebware.com\/cmms\/employee-management.php\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Human Resources Suite:<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 To better manage equipment, you need to know details about that equipment.\u00a0 And the same goes in the management of employees.\u00a0 Contact information, detailed work performance, training history, and integrated time keeping are just some of the features necessary to solve employee issues quickly, so that they can do their job.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Increase Employee Accountability\" href=\"http:\/\/www.psiwebware.com\/cmms\/quality-management.php\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Performance Evaluation:<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 Providing employees with feedback on their job performance is imperative in producing better employees.\u00a0 An employee who understands the goals of the company\u2014and how their job helps to attain those goals\u2014will take more initiative and complete their tasks quickly and completely.\u00a0 And studies have found that good performance from one employee is contagious, leading quickly to a positive work environment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Advanced Time Keeping Methods:<\/strong>\u00a0 How would you like your employees to start their day?\u00a0 Working on their first assignment, or driving to the main office to punch in?\u00a0 Many of the more advanced systems allow your workers to clock in through a mobile device or online, so that they spend more time on the assignment.\u00a0 In addition, time keeping information inputted electronically leads to more efficiency within your administrative team.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mobile Technology:<\/strong>\u00a0 Through the use of a web-based system, your employees have everything they need to complete their job in a timely and thorough manner\u2014literally in their hands.\u00a0 Even if there is no Internet access, the information needed for their assignment can be found quickly on their SmartPhone or Tablet, leading to a better job, performed by a better employee.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These are just some of the ways a quality CMMS can transform your workforce.\u00a0 Talk to your system
