MakeShift, a leading cloud-based workforce scheduling platform for rules-driven organizations, announced a strategic partnership with UK-based HR and absence management leader edays. The collaboration enables edays to offer MakeShift’s intelligent scheduling capabilities, helping UK employers manage complex shift-based work while ensuring compliance and reducing operational friction.
The partnership comes at a pivotal time for UK organizations, as employment law reforms rolling out through 2026 and 2027 increase obligations around predictable work patterns, shift notice, and protections for variable-hours employees. These changes raise operational stakes for businesses reliant on flexible staffing models.
“By offering scheduling powered by MakeShift, we are expanding our ability to help global organisations improve workforce visibility, reduce risk, and streamline people planning alongside edays’ world-class absence and HR solutions,” said Jon Maddison, CEO of edays.

MakeShift’s platform integrates seamlessly with edays’ existing time, absence, and HR management tools, providing a rules-first scheduling engine that enforces workforce policies at the point of schedule creation. This ensures compliance with complex time-off rules, employee availability, and fatigue management requirements. Advanced AI capabilities further enhance workforce planning by offering demand forecasting, automated schedule optimization, and intelligent self-service, reducing manual workloads for managers while improving coverage and operational consistency.
“We’re excited to partner with edays at a time when workforce complexity and legislative change are top of mind for UK and EU employers,” said Adam Greenberg, CEO of MakeShift. “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.”
The collaboration highlights MakeShift’s international growth strategy, extending its market presence through strategic alliances. Known for rapid innovation and customer-centric solutions, MakeShift continues to gain adoption across healthcare, retail, hospitality, public sector, and other shift-intensive industries worldwide.
