Do you know that feeling? You have a favorite colleague with whom you simply work best. Now you can define this person as your Work Bestie and medishift shows you when you're working together!
What is a Work Bestie?
A Work Bestie is more than just a colleague - it's the person you enjoy working with the most. The one who motivates you, makes shifts fly by, and supports you even in stressful moments. In healthcare, where teamwork is vital, a good Work Bestie makes the difference between a good and an outstanding workday.
The concept is simple: You define your Work Bestie in the medishift app, and the system automatically shows you when you're scheduled together. This way, you can look forward to shared shifts and always know when your favorite colleague is there.
How the Work Bestie Feature Works at medishift
The new Work Bestie feature is super easy to use. In your medishift app, you'll find the new "Work Bestie" section under "Settings". Simply select the colleague you enjoy working with the most. That's it!
See When You're Working Together
From now on, you'll see a small marker with a blue heart 💙 in your schedule when your Work Bestie is also assigned. Additionally, you'll receive a notification when you're working together. This way, you'll never miss a shared shift with your favorite colleague again.
A blue heart tells you: You're working together today!
On your Home Screen in the monthly overview, you can now also clearly see which days you're working together.

How often are you working together this month? You can see it on the Home Screen
The feature works both ways - if your colleague defines you as their Work Bestie, you'll see each other in your schedules. This creates real Work Besties who support and motivate each other.
Work Besties vs. Work Buddy: Is There a Difference?
Yes, there's definitely a difference! A Work Buddy is usually an officially assigned mentor or onboarding partner. It's a formal relationship that often only exists for a certain time.
A Work Bestie, on the other hand, is a personal choice - someone you feel connected with on a different level. It's the person who understands your work style, motivates you, and with whom you simply enjoy working. This relationship develops naturally and is based on mutual sympathy and professional compatibility.
While a Work Buddy is often assigned by management, you choose your Work Bestie yourself. This makes collaboration more authentic and motivating.
Something similar is the term working buddies. Here, of course, you're not thinking of just one specific person, but of several colleagues who have become real friends.
The Benefits of Having a Work Bestie in Everyday Work
Having a Work Bestie makes everyday work much more pleasant. You know you have someone by your side who understands and supports you. This significantly reduces stress and increases job satisfaction.
Especially in hospitals and clinics, where every day is different and unexpected situations often arise, it's valuable to have a trusted colleague. With your Work Bestie, you can better handle difficult situations and stay motivated even in stressful phases.
The medishift Work Bestie feature helps you nurture and strengthen this valuable relationship. You can see at a glance when you're working together and look forward to it. This makes shift planning not just more practical, but also more emotional.
Conclusion: Why the Work Bestie Feature Revolutionizes Your Shift Planning
The Work Bestie feature from medishift is more than just a technical tool - it's an opportunity to strengthen your work relationships and increase your job satisfaction. In a profession that requires as much teamwork as healthcare, it makes a big difference who you work with.
Simply try out the new feature! Define your Work Bestie and experience how your attitude toward work changes. You'll notice that shared shifts with your favorite colleague are not only more productive but also much more enjoyable.
The Work Bestie feature is now available in your medishift app. Use it and create your perfect work environment!
