The suite is launching with Happy Schedule, a new take on workforce management. Designed to handle the complexities that come up when business goals are planned around real-world schedules, it helps you treat your employees like humans instead of resources. Using Happy Schedule, Automattic is able to plan 24/7 customer support while offering flexible working hours to our 300+ Happiness Engineers spanning many timezones.

We’ve been using Happy Schedule internally at Automattic for for several months now and it is leaps and bounds better than our previous solution. And it’s so much nicer than any other scheduling system I’ve used during my many years in retail.

If you work somewhere with employee scheduling needs, you should give it a look.
