The problem

Without a proper on-call rotation system, hr teams face these challenges daily:

Employees unsure who to ask HR questions
HR requests falling through the cracks
One person handling all incoming HR inquiries
Onboarding tasks with no clear owner

The solution

Shifter solves these problems with automated on-call rotations in Slack:

Clear @hr-on-call point of contact
Balanced workload across HR team members
Employees always know who to reach out to
Smooth handoffs for ongoing HR cases
How it works

Use @hr-on-call in Slack

A new hire has a question about benefits enrollment. They ping @hr-on-call in Slack and immediately reach the HR team member on rotation.

1

Create your rotation

Set up @hr-on-call with your HR team and choose a rotation interval that matches your team's capacity.

2

Shifter rotates automatically

Employees always reach a live HR contact by mentioning @hr-on-call — Shifter keeps the handle pointed at whoever's responsible that week.

3

Handle exceptions easily

HR team member out for training or vacation? Swap them out with an override so employee questions never go unanswered.
