RaceTrac Reaches Workforce Management Deployment Milestone with Empower Software
ORLANDO, Fla. --(Business Wire)--
RaceTrac and Empower Software Solutions have announced that an important
milestone has been reached in the rollout of Empower's workforce
management solution, EmpowerWFM within the RaceTrac store network. As of
February 28, 2014, all 365 RaceTrac locations are now utilizing
EmpowerTime, the time and attendance product from the EmpowerWFM
solution suite.
This marks the successful first phase in a system wide rollout of
EmpowerWFM, which includes labor forecasting and automated scheduling of
store associates. "The implementation of EmpowerWFM is key to achieving
our goal of coordinating staffing to peak traffic levels in our
locations which will result in increased service to our customers," said
Jaime Benton, Director of Human Resources for RaceTrac.
EmpowerTime, when integrated with the rest of EmpowerWFM, will give
RaceTrac managers a more robust tool for managing their workforce,
allowing them to focus on customer satisfaction, store operations, and
the development of store associates. The integrated labor forecasting
and automated scheduling solutions are now being phased into the
RaceTra store network, with anticipated completion by mid-2014.
According to Joe Olson, Executive Vice President and General Manager for
Workforce Management at Empower Software, "RaceTrac is a true innovator
in the c-store industry, with a particular focus on creating satisfied
customers and a great work environment for their associates. EmpowerWFM
is a natural fit for an organization like RaceTrac, as it enables store
management and associates to concentrate more on serving customers and
less on creating schedules, or tracking time and attendance."
