About Us
At SteadyShift WFM Consulting, LLC, we believe that the heart of healthcare workforce management isn’t just the technology—it’s the people who provide the care and the operational stability that allows them to thrive.
With over two decades of dedicated experience in the workforce management (WFM) industry, founder Tim Manhardt has spent his career at the intersection of complex operations and human-centric solutions. Since 2004, Tim has guided hundreds of healthcare organizations across North America—from local clinics to massive health systems with over 300,000 employees—through the high-stakes journey of WFM implementation and optimization. Now SteadyShift has formed to ensure this vision and mission moves forward at scale.
Your Advocate in the Vendor Landscape
The biggest challenge in WFM isn’t just choosing the right software; it’s ensuring that software actually serves your unique clinical and operational needs.
SteadyShift occupies a unique position in the market. We don't just "know" the software—we know the "other side" of the encounter. We act as your expert advocate during the vendor implementation process, bridging the gap between technical specifications and real-world healthcare delivery. We speak the vendor's language so you don't have to, ensuring that the system is built to your standards, not just theirs.
Beyond Implementation
A "go-live" date is only the beginning. We work directly with you to move beyond basic functionality toward true optimization. Our partnership focuses on:
- Vendor Navigation: Protecting your interests during implementation to ensure the technology meets your specific operational goals.
- Operational Alignment: Ensuring your WFM strategy is driving performance and supporting your staff's well-being
- Direct Optimization: Refining workflows and system configurations to eliminate friction and maximize the value of your investment.
At SteadyShift, we don't settle for just implementing software; we empower your organization to deliver excellence.
