Cloud-based software provider Sirenum has built a free app specifically to help care homes manage staff during the Covid-19 crisis.
Using the Sirenum for Covid-19 app, care home managers can manage their workforce and deal with covering unplanned leave caused by the complexities of the crisis, such as staff needing to self-isolate.
In addition, the app can predict and alert management of employees who are at risk of fatigue so they can take steps to reduce the intensity of their shifts and balance workloads more efficiently across the entire workforce.
With many homes facing unpredictable staff availability, being able to roster teams efficiently and quickly has never been so imperative, the company said.
“We felt it was vital to contribute our advanced technology to the public good. As a global company with clients from South Africa to Norway, from China to California, we can see how the pandemic is impacting everyone,” said Sirenum chief executive Benjamin Rubin.
“While most of our customers are huge corporations that pay hundreds of thousands or even millions for our system, we can see the urgency of the situation facing the care sector and have made the decision to put people before profits at this critical time,” he added.

In a related development, Sirenum has also created SirenumGo specifically for volunteer management, which is currently available for free to non-profit organisations and governmental bodies to easily mobilise and engage volunteers during the crisis.
