YOUniverse Solutions: Integrated workforce management - designed for people, built for business!

The war for talent is a real and ongoing challenge for all organizations. Managers everywhere strive to create high performance cultures; aspirational workplaces that attract and help to retain highly engaged people, who in turn evangelize for the business and its products. An agile, team-centric organization where feedback loops are short, and communications channels are open and available. In short, a place that delivers a great employee experience and makes work life more productive and interesting.

YOUniverse is responding to that challenge! This rapidly evolving platform delivers an always available, fully-integrated toolset that assists managers to deliver on this vision. The platform consists of tools that simplify and streamline those tasks that underpin your business – talent acquisition, deployment and engagement. By designing around the employee, YOUniverse delivers intuitive solutions to any device in a form that feels familiar and recognizable.

The talent acquisition modules create digital interactions between your candidates and recruiters, enables cross-functional decision making and maintains a full audit trail of the recruitment process. Each new appointee is professionally inducted into your culture and is immediately connected with their new team members and peers. Recent news, events and business update are available for your new employee to instantly begin their familiarization process.

Creating, costing and communicating award compliant work schedules for distributed shift-based teams becomes a simple and intuitive task where all staff are immediately notified once rosters are published.

Time capture is a simple, geo-fenced solution and timesheets require approval only by exception. Capable of handling multi-award workplaces, YOUniverse tracks and reports on compliance outcomes, providing a clear line of sight across the entire workforce.

Delivering truly demand-responsive rosters, YOUniverse integrates location-specific labor standards with your forecast demand, thereby optimizing the hours required in any shift at any location. YOUniverse successfully completed a recent proof of concept for an Australian franchisee of a global quick service restaurant business which demonstrated a material reduction in the total hours rostered each week.

Engaging with all staff throughout your business or in a single team is made simple with the YOUniverse communications module. Social-media in style and highly flexible in design, your staff will be empowered to interact with each other with immediacy, sharing news and information, collaborating around initiatives and building cross-functional cohesion. It is the one place where people can connect in a way they already know and love.

‘People are our most important asset’ is a popular phrase. How often is that phrase supported by hard metrics and analytics? Perhaps not often enough. YOUniverse will help you to understand the meaning of that phrase, measure it and relate it to your day-to-day business operations in ways that embed aspirational behaviors in the many teams distributed throughout your business. Combining quantitative behavioral data with qualitative observations from in-built feedback loops, YOUniverse shines a light into the darker corners of your teams’ performance.

“The confluence of today’s business needs –winning the war for talent, driving high performance and simplifying the employee experience – are the foundation stones upon which we design and build technology. Making work life more productive and interesting is what motivates us daily. We are designed around people, but built for business”, said Stuart Davies, CEO of YOUniverse.

If your business aspires to deliver on the vision of an employee-centric, highly aspirational and performance driven culture, YOUniverse is the platform for you.
