From Stress to Control
Staffing challenges in the healthcare sector cost money, and people.
Did you know that healthcare managers spend an average of 33% of their working hours just making shifts and schedules work? Or that absenteeism, overtime, and the use of temporary staff cost municipalities and hospitals billions every year?
When healthcare staff lack predictability and become overwhelmed, it also affects the patients. Better staffing plans provide more continuity, safety, and care, for both employees and patients. SynPlan makes it possible to plan smarter, earlier, and with better insight.
The Problem We Solve
Does this sound familiar?
- You spend too much time scheduling and not enough time with people.
- You know your staff are getting tired. Some are considering quitting.
- You’re watching costs rise: temps, overtime, and frustration.
- You want control, but keep getting more chaos.
You’re not alone. This is the daily reality for healthcare leaders around the world. And it won’t fix itself.
Facts & Stats:
- Healthcare has the highest sickness absence rate, 40% above the average.
- Staffing shortages and high absenteeism create chaos.
- Overtime and temp use cost billions.
- Managers spend 31% of their time scheduling and plugging gaps.
- Burnout and high turnover are rampant.
- Stressed-out staff have less energy for meaningful patient care.
How We Solve It
With AI. With insight. With people at the center.
SynPlan tackles the problem with an AI-driven solution developed in close collaboration with municipalities, healthcare organizations, and frontline workers. We combine insight and technology to make staffing simpler, fairer, and far more efficient.
1. Absence Prediction: Forecast absenteeism before it happens
By analyzing over four years of historical data, our algorithm detects patterns in absence. It learns when, where, and why absenteeism occurs, and forecasts up to 12 months ahead. You can plan proactively and avoid firefighting.
Impact:
- Proactive planning = fewer surprises and fewer gaps
- Reduced overtime and use of temps
- Lower costs and less stress for leaders
When one nurse calls in sick, the ripple effect is real. We help you calm the waters, before the waves begin.
2. Employee Involvement: Give staff a voice in the schedule
One of the top causes of burnout and turnover in healthcare is lack of control over one’s work schedule. SynPlan lets staff submit their preferences for shift types, vacations, and weekends.
Impact:
- Fairer, more predictable shift plans
- Improved morale and job satisfaction
- Lower turnover and greater loyalty
A 2023 McKinsey report found that over 56% of U.S. healthcare workers experience burnout, with poor scheduling and lack of flexibility as key factors. SynPlan gives them options, and predictability.
3. Automated Shift Planning: One click. One year. Fully planned.
Once absenteeism forecasts and employee preferences are in place, our AI does the rest. You get a fully generated schedule for the entire year, optimized for both operations and people, and compliant with all labor regulations.
Impact:
- 12% less time spent planning
- No more manual spreadsheets
- More time for leadership and patient care
What used to take weeks now takes minutes and the system adapts to you, not the other way around.
This isn’t just about technology. It’s about people.
We built SynPlan to solve a problem we know well. This isn’t just about making things efficient, it’s about creating a workday that works for both leaders and staff, and providing better, safer care for patients.
- Proactive, not reactive
- Fair, not arbitrary
- Smart, and easy to use
