Workforce Management Performance Study


"The Workforce Management Performance Study provided the critical insights into our operations and the input to position an overall transformation initiative to our senior leadership. As a result, we have successfully implemented several phases of our overall Workforce Management automation project in 2010."

Key Trends and Observations

  1. Top Performing organizations are focusing their improvement programs on lowering labor cost and are employing techniques such as more effectively using part time employees, capitalizing on shared labor pools and implementing overtime management policies. "The right employee at the right place at the right time AND at the right cost"
  2. As WFM activities become more automated, top performing organizations are implementing scorecards that are used to gain visibility into workforce performance - "What gets measured gets managed - and what gets managed gets accomplished"
  3. More and more organizations appear to be implementing measures to reduce Wage and Hour compliance risk
