Better Manage Labor Costs

Know what you’re spending on labor, and where.

The costs of labor are the number one business expense. You can’’t manage what you don’’t track! Can you identify with any of these common staff administration issues?

Aggravated Managers: Ad hoc and manual management of multi-layer schedules and personal communication with staff members can burn through valuable manager time leaving strategic programs undone. Are your supervisors spending more time coordinating than effectively managing?

Unscheduled Overtime Costs: Excessive overtime may be due to increased work volume, high absenteeism, inefficient distribution of staff or understaffing. Low overtime and high absence could indicate too many employees. Do you know exactly what’’s driving your increasing expenses?

Wrong Worker on the Job: You may have available resources but the duties require particular skill sets, qualifications, or certifications in order to do the job right or be compliant. Can you easily (or automatically) place the right skills in the right place at the right time?

Out of Touch Team members: Engage staff members by giving them access to available shift opportunities and the capacity to switch or pick up shifts. Online time cards, schedules, and communicating with managers. Text or email messages for schedule updates and opportunities. Can your staff members help you manage themselves?

No Records for Audit or Analysis: Whether the company or another entity needs verification, having adequate reporting and analysis specialties plus the historical data is essential for effective management. Can you ascertain what you did wrong– or right?
