			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi, my name is Mannan Mackie and I am the Lead Designer of Roster Portal.</p>
<p>I personally have worked as a Manager at a retail store for many years so I know first hand the problems that &#8220;Roster Makers&#8221; face when dealing with staff. I also have completed a degree in Information Technology and Business at the <a href="http://www.qut.edu.au">Queensland University of Technology</a>, and know that good software, such as <a title="Rostering Software" href="http://www.rosterportal.com/about.aspx">Roster Portal</a>, can make a great economical and time saving to businesses.</p>
<p>When I said I wanted to include a blog on Roster Portal, people looked at me as if I was <em>crazy</em> or got up on the wrong side of the bed that morning. However I know that being a manager or business owner is a multi-faceted role, inherently more complex than just supervising, ordering and rostering. It&#8217;s a role we do day after day, often on weekends, after hours or off the clock, yet we never ask ourselves,<strong> &#8220;Is there a better way?&#8221; </strong></p>
<p>My goal is to foster a community where we share our advice, problems and solutions to the challenges we face everyday. So feel free to comment below with your opionions or suggestions, or if you would like to contact me directly, email mannan [at] rosterportal.com</p>
<p>So I will leave you with a question: <em>What has been the most challenging problem you have faced when dealing with Staff?</em></p>
