Kahuna Workforce Solutions, a leading skills management platform, and Vocantas, a provider of automated shift management solutions, have announced a strategic partnership. The collaboration is designed to help organizations reduce staffing gaps, ensure qualified shift coverage, and improve the employee experience by combining validated skills data with automated communication technology.
Kahuna and Vocantas form a partnership to optimize shift staffing with qualified employees.
The solution combines Kahuna's validated skills data with Vocantas' automated shift-filling platform.
It enables organizations to fill shifts faster by matching real-time needs with qualified, available staff.
The system helps close skills gaps and ensures compliance by verifying employee qualifications.
It enhances employee engagement by giving workers more control over their schedules.
The partnership targets industries like healthcare, manufacturing, energy, and field service.
A critical challenge for organizations is ensuring that every shift is filled not just with a warm body, but with a proven, capable employee. This partnership directly addresses that need by integrating Kahuna's competency insights directly into Vocantas' staffing workflow. Jai Shah, chief executive officer of Kahuna, stated, "Organizations need confidence that every shift is filled by the right person, not just someone available, but someone proven to be capable. Working with Vocantas, we give leaders that confidence by combining validated frontline workforce data with automation that makes it faster and easier to fill shifts with the right employee who meets specific role requirements."
The integrated solution offers a dual benefit: operational efficiency and improved employee experience. For managers, it automates the time-consuming process of identifying and contacting qualified staff for open shifts. Adam Seguin, managing director of Vocantas, explained, "By combining our automated communication and shift-filling capabilities with Kahuna’s validated skills and competency data, leaders can fill vacancies in minutes, reduce administrative burden and ensure the right employee is awarded the right shift." For employees, it provides more visibility and control over scheduling opportunities, allowing them to easily accept shifts that match their skills and preferences.
The partnership is particularly relevant for sectors with complex staffing needs and high compliance standards, such as healthcare, manufacturing, and energy. In these environments, placing an unqualified employee in a role can lead to safety risks, compliance failures, and operational disruptions. By automatically connecting real-time shift needs with employees who have the validated skills to perform the work, the Kahuna-Vocantas integration helps organizations maintain safe, compliant, and efficient operations while simultaneously building a more agile and engaged workforce.
