10 Best Practices for Workforce Management Professionals
Labor can be the largest cost in any organization, and one that is controllable, especially when you utilize industry leading technology to track time worked and employee absences, both planned and unplanned, in employee schedules. Best Practice is a procedure that has been shown by research and experience to produce optimal results and that is established or proposed as a standard suitable for widespread adoption. (Merriam-Webster, 2022) As a method or technique, best practices consistently show results superior to those achieved with other means, and are often used as benchmarks. Organizations are challenged to achieve and maintain compliance with internal policies, union agreements (for some), and federal laws such as Department of Labor Wage & Hour Rules, Sarbanes-Oxley and the Affordable Care Act. Efficient allocation and management of labor hours positively impacts revenues. Inefficiencies can increase costs, decrease profits and create dissatisfaction to both employees and customers.
