Challenge
The WM Phoenix Open, hosted by Waste Management (WM), is not just a showcase of golfing excellence but also a massive operational endeavor requiring a robust and flexible workforce. The primary challenge faced by WM in the lead-up to the tournament was the recruitment and management of hundreds of staff members needed to ensure the event ran smoothly. The company sought a solution that could handle the vast number of job applicants, streamline the assignment and scheduling of shifts for the multi-day event, facilitate direct and efficient communication with staff, and manage time tracking and payroll reporting with precision and ease.
