In the heart of the Belgian Ardennes, along the banks of the Semois river and set on a 15-hectare private estate, the Tero Forest House Martué is the Tero group's nature retreat: a rustic lodge designed for adventure teambuilding, green seminars, and unplugged getaways. To bring these experiences to life, around thirty instructors rotate on-site throughout the various activities.
Gauthier Villé, the site manager, explains how Shyfter helps him coordinate these shifting teams and ensure the right instructor is in the right place, every time.
With around thirty instructors and activities that change from one day to the next, everything starts with a clear view of the schedule.
"Shyfter helps us get a general overview of our schedule and create our own shifts well in advance, ensuring the right skills are in the right place."
From a management perspective, the schedule is built well in advance, and each instructor is placed where their skills make the most impact. The result: better-prepared activities and a team that is aligned before the event even begins.
On the ground, each instructor manages their own schedule without the need for endless back-and-forth communication.
"Instructors can quickly see the various activities on the schedule and sign up. As for us, we fill our events as we go with the best instructors."
Thanks to the employee app, instructors can view available activities and sign up in seconds. Managers can fill their events as they go, selecting the right profiles. It’s a workflow that changes the day-to-day:
"That really saves time and reduces stress."
At Forest House, several managers draw from the same pool of instructors. That used to cause hiccups… before Shyfter.
"There are several of us managing the same pool of instructors. Before, we would sometimes pick the same instructor. Now, that doesn't happen anymore."
With a real-time shared schedule, everyone works from a single source of truth. As soon as an instructor is assigned, the info is visible to everyone: no more double bookings, no more last-minute conflicts.
And when asked to sum up Shyfter in one word, the answer is immediate:
"Ease."
Shyfter is much more than just a scheduling tool; it's a complete staff management solution designed to save you time.
