A When I Work Case Study
Mathnasium of Richmond, VA is a math learning center with 53 employees across seven locations that has provided K–12 tutoring since 2009. As the business grew, co-owner James Temple found their Google Spreadsheet scheduling system couldn’t handle multiple locations, lacked a time-off history, and didn’t provide real-time schedule updates needed by a millennial workforce.
They adopted When I Work for location-specific scheduling, color-coded shifts that cut onboarding to about five minutes, and mobile apps with email/SMS/push notifications and shift reminders. The platform’s reporting, employee-entered availability, and mandatory explanations for dropped shifts improved accountability and reduced absenteeism, simplified communication, saved administrative time, and enabled expansion into new markets such as Mathnasium of McLean.
