FNBO’s traditional, fixed scheduling model was struggling to meet the needs of a changing labor market. During the COVID-19 pandemic, hiring and retention dropped as applicants—often students or work-from-home parents— found it difficult to commit to rigid shifts. The company realized it needed a more flexible approach to attract and retain top talent while maintaining coverage and operational efficiency.
We’re really proud of what we’ve done with EEM. We’ve stretched it beyond what it was originally built for and created a dynamic model that empowers our agents and enhances our business.
