# Configuring shifts for your workplace

Configure shifts for your organization in the Workplace Core application so you can efficiently plan and manage your workplace by assigning employees and workspaces to those schedules.

-   **[Define shifts for your workplace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/workplace-core/create-shifts-wsd.md)**  
Define shifts in Workplace Core with specific schedules so you can designate areas or workplaces and assign employees for each shift.
-   **[Assign employees to a shift](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/workplace-core/associate-employees-with-shifts-wsd.md)**  
Associate employees with a shift in Workplace Core so that they operate from the office only in the shifts to which they are assigned. Workplace managers can later reserve workspaces for these employees according to their assigned shifts.
-   **[Associate areas and spaces with a shift](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/workplace-core/associate-workspaces-with-shifts-wsd.md)**  
Associate work areas and spaces with a shift in Workplace Core so that they are available only for that shift. Workplace managers can later reserve these workplaces for employees operating in that shift.
