Journyx vs. When I Work

Our director of research utilized this software at another facility and implemented it here due to the success of data capture from his other hospital. We were very fortunate that he had already knowledge about the system and we were able to implement it our institution very quickly.

I recommend When I Work to those companies that are looking for a way to manage work schedules and want to increase the productivity of all employees. This is an important platform that would bring excellent results to small, medium and large companies. This is a constant monitoring system which allows employees to complete their tasks in the indicated time, When I Work sends automated alerts when an employee is not complying with their tasks and this allows us to know exactly the productivity we are having in each one of the sectors. It is an excellent platform for planning and administration of working hours, it has a very easy-to-use UI that allows schedules to be easily managed. Without a doubt, When I Work would be a perfect implementation for any sector or company, since it has a lot of potential to collect exact data on compliance with working hours.

• Reporting of time - I know when I pull reports for each employee/contractor that I will have information at the touch of my fingertips.
• Creating new users - is very easy.
• Entering time - is easy for even the first time user

• When I Work allowed me to color-code each employee's schedule.
• When I Work allowed me to show who was "off" during what time of day. This was essential for morale, as our event included 16-18 hour days, and I wanted to show that everyone had down time each day.

• There is a LOT of functionality, including a many functions that we don't ever use. If there were some way to set up a "dashboard" of only the functions we need, it might be a little easier to navigate some of the management and reporting areas.
• Initial setup can be daunting, particularly for a larger company using a lot of functionality. Its been a long time since we've been through that, but the initial training and support has to be robust, comprehensive and very clear. (However, I can't say that it isn't now)

• Customer service only available by chat or email. No phone- which is crazy, in my opinion. Slows down, getting things done.
• Understanding their charges is a pain. I still don't know what I am paying for.
• If you are being overcharged, they don't care; they keep you on billing for something in a group.

All depending on cost for renewal. This is very expensive as a reporting tool, as we do not recover the cost through billing

It's a powerful tool for employee management and intuitive to use.

Back end, administration or set up on the software.

While it's one of the better apps, my only complaint is the icon layout of the dash; mouseover sometimes doesn't work for my system.

Yes, it's there when I need it.

Can be slow at times.

Every time I contact When I Work staff with an issue, someone is there with a quick solution to my problem. I love the chat feature. I can continue to work on other things while the When I Work representative assists me.

Good training overall, some areas we do use.

It takes a lot of planning and it's time consuming.

Make certain your team knows how to turn off alerts and utilise the system.

This would be good for a small company who does not want to build their own time submission system. The interface is fairly dated, but we are quite familiar with it, so that is not really a negative for our company. The primary feature we struggle with most is the inability to allow line-item rejection of time entries

When I Work seemed a bit easier to implement for our team and employees. When I Work had all the things we needed without a lot of the bells and whistles that we wouldn't really utilize. When I Work was also a bit more affordable for our budget. Overall, it was the better choice.

Server issues at first.

• Easier and more efficient cost fund allocation.
• Requires employee time reporting on activity, cost center and other custom fields synced with payroll so records are submitted, reviewed and approved every two weeks.
• Funders are confident in our ability to appropriately allocate funds.

Incentivized

• Compared to what I've used before, When I Work allows you to interact with your staff more than other scheduling apps.
• Though I don't know the cost, I was told it was cheaper than it's counterparts.
• The app doesn't have all of the features as the full website, but it's pretty close.
