When answering this question, emphasize your ability to create efficient schedules that meet the needs of both the business and the staff. Discuss any tools or software you use for scheduling, and how you handle conflicts or last-minute changes. Provide examples of how your scheduling strategies have improved team performance and customer satisfaction. For instance, you might say:
"I use a combination of scheduling software and direct communication with my team to create fair and efficient schedules. I always consider peak business hours and individual staff preferences to ensure we have adequate coverage. In case of conflicts or last-minute changes, I maintain a list of on-call staff and have a clear communication protocol to address these issues promptly. For example, during a particularly busy holiday season, my proactive scheduling and quick conflict resolution ensured that we maintained high levels of customer satisfaction and staff morale."
