HealthcareScheduling & Booking4HighManager$ implied
Staff scheduling is unfair and random, with some staff assigned on-call/late shifts 6 times a month while others get 1-2, and the scheduler lacks a tool to balance constraints and preferences.
Excel spreadsheets lack constraint handling, fairness algorithms, and visibility into personal schedule impacts, making it impossible to balance shift distribution and staff preferences.
