Nottingham, UK, 22nd January 2026 — Global HR, absence and time management software company, edays, has partnered with scheduling provider MakeShift, to offer greater workforce management capabilities to organisations worldwide.
edays, which specialises in providing best-in-class absence, time and HR management software, is expanding its core offering in 2026 with the introduction of scheduling, aimed at helping organisations to improve resource planning, achieve compliance and minimise operational disruption.
The move comes as a result of shifting market and customer demand, prompting edays to expand its feature set and evolve into an all-round solution, capable of handling all the complexities that come with employee absence and holiday entitlements, as well as time tracking and rota management.
As organisations increasingly seek integrated workforce management software, time and attendance software, and absence management software, solutions that combine compliance, scheduling, and visibility are becoming essential.
Its strategic partnership with MakeShift, a leading workforce scheduling platform with advanced AI capabilities, will prove to be tremendously beneficial to employers looking for a one-stop solution to their workforce management requirements.
This announcement comes at a key time in the UK, where employment law changes are set to start rolling out from April this year.
With an emphasis on predictable working patterns, protection for workers on zero-hour contracts, and increased shift notice, the legislation changes will present employers with new challenges that can be solved by this integrated partner solution designed for complex, rules-driven workforces.
Jon Maddison, CEO of edays, said: “Following increased demand, edays is extending our workforce management functionality further. We’re excited to be providing scheduling powered by MakeShift, which is an impressive tool capable of meeting complex requirements for organisations across all industries, including those with especially intricate rules-driven operations such as healthcare, manufacturing and retail.
“Given the upcoming employment law changes in the UK and EU, this partnership comes at the right time for many organisations looking to review their workforce processes in order to meet new compliance requirements.”
Adam Greenberg, CEO of MakeShift, said “We’re very pleased to partner with edays at a time when workforce complexity and legislative change are top of mind for UK and EU employers.
“This partnership strengthens our global footprint and reflects MakeShift’s commitment to enabling organisations everywhere to schedule with confidence, address regulatory challenges, and improve operational efficiency.”
