# Create a new Workforce

A new _workforce_, together with its first _roster_, can be made by clicking the 'Managers: Create a new Workforce and Roster' button found under the <u>Workforce</u> menu tab.

Enter the name of your business as the Workforce Name. A description can also be added. Then click 'Create Workforce and Roster'.

Your new WorkRoster workforce and its first roster will be created. Some example shifts with some example employees will be automatically added to the new roster.

The example shifts and employees can be edited or deleted. 
  
After a _workforce_ has been created, more _Workforce Settings_ can be found in <u>Edit Settings</u> under the <u>Workforce</u> menu tab.  
  


Use the <u>Rosters</u> menu tab to switch the roster view from one workforce to another.



#### ProTip

Any user on WorkRoster can create a _workforce_. New managers might like to create a _workforce_ called something like "MY TEST WORKFORCE" and then use this _workforce_ for testing and learning how to use the WorkRoster system.  
  
Using your own separate and fake _workforce_ testing/learning/playing with WorkRoster is safer than accidentally making mistakes, due to inexperience with the software, on your real production workforce rosters.
