Transforming the employee experience by letting employees
work their preferred way – The University of Colorado Boulder’s
Housing & Dining Services is transforming the employee experience with
Workforce Dimensions by enhancing employee productivity, motivation,
and engagement.
- Like most frontline workers, many university employees do not have access to a computer at work so asking them to enter time, view a schedule, or perform other work-related tasks using a desktop application may be counterproductive. Yet as nearly everyone today has a smartphone, giving employees self-service access to their work-related data on any mobile device boosts job satisfaction and overall efficiency.
- With Workforce Dimensions, employees can easily check accrual balances, request time off, edit and approve their timecard, and complete other tasks using their mobile device of choice. The responsive, device-agnostic user interface allows employees to more effortlessly move from desktop to tablet to phone – with the same experience and without feature loss.
- Collaborative self-scheduling tools enable employees to select their preferred schedules and make it easier to swap shifts and request time off, allowing them greater control of their work-life balance.
- The intuitive nature of the Workforce Dimensions user interface enables users to make choices with one-click actions and intelligent workflows with minimal training needed. In fact, non-native English-speaking staff have embraced Workforce Dimensions enthusiastically because of its intuitive nature.

predictive capabilities to unlock valuable insights for managers.
