about Turno
Take control of your shifts. Be proactive, stay flexible and prioritize what matters most
About Us
Turno was created out of the need to help shift workers take control of their time and improve their work-life balance.
My name is Eduardo. I am the co-founder of Turno. When I got married my wife’s shift work schedule was not an issue. We were used to the routine and never gave it another thought. With the arrival of our first child everything changed. All of a sudden, my wife Denise’s schedule took center stage.
As time went on, my family began helping us with daycare drop off and pickups. We all needed to know when Denise was working and we were in constant communication to find out who would be going to pick up our child from daycare.
When we found out that another baby was on the way, I thought of everything we’ve done in the past four years and decided that there must be a better way to help Denise better balance her personal life and shift work schedule.
We put our heads together and started talking about all the pain points of a health care worker, what life looks like when a shift worker is working and when they are at home, how does sick time affect the micro environment and the health care system at large, and how can shift workers manage to live their best lives.
What we came up with was the answer to a fundamental question; why is switching shifts so hard? Your team members have to be available, willing and the onus is on you to find an amenable solution. That takes time. Lots of time. Our solution shows the people available for a switch in your network in real time and you can select who receives a request notification for a switch. It’s that easy! No more fawning over the schedule and taking turns just to have the opportunity to spend hours analyzing the switch opportunities available to you
Mission
We want to improve the life of shift workers all over Canada and the US by improving work life balance and helping people reclaim their time so that they can spend it doing the things they love.

I’ve been using Turno for 6 months now and I love it! I am able to switch shifts quickly and Turno takes all the guesswork out of who’s working when. The process is simple and easy to use. If you work shift work you need this app! It makes finding coverage for life events so much easier!

This app is an amazing tool for shift workers like me. I am a nurse/shift worker and being able to have not just my co-workers, but my family in the Turno contacts is such an easier way to manage my schedule and do shift swaps.

This app is fantastic! Having worked in a multitude of acute care settings, juggling the complexities of shift work with many hospital sites and personal life has always been a challenge for us all. With staff needing switches regularly, it’s hard to keep up with when people are scheduled to work. The app allows one to connect with coworkers within the same hospital or from different hospitals in a simple, effective and transparent way.
