The scheduling features, the animated photos and emojis

It is easy to use and works on both the web and the app. This is helpful for "big office" tasks like full schedule and payroll. The app is great for employees to quickly view their schedule, timecards, and submit requests off.

Labor Management and Team Communication were the two main things that drew me to Homebase. I was looking for tools to help improve efficiency in these areas, especially when building out my teams from scratch. This tool also had to solve the privacy issue that plagued basic group chats, where employees could communicate, but only if they shared their personal phone numbers. This created issues with former employees, as well as employees who felt uncomfortable sharing that information. What I didn't expect to find was a tool that solve both issues so well. In Homebase I found a gorgeous scheduling interface that not only helps manage labor efficiently, but can also streamline shift swaps and PTO notification and planning. Beyond that, their team communication function now allows employees to communicate across functions and shifts without having to share personal information. When an employee is terminated, I am able to immediately sever their ability to communicate, without worrying about them spiking the chat or possessing personal information of current employees.
