2. What is Workforce Management 2 Part of the Greater Human Capital Management (HCM) Model Human Resources – Hiring/firing, skills management, compliance to regulations and standards Workforce Management – Regular vs. overtime hours, vacation and sick time, scheduling, costing or billing Payroll – EI/CPP/etc. deductions, salary “Workforce Management (WFM) encompasses all the activities, processes, and tools needed to manage a workforce. A comprehensive WFM system includes planning, forecasting, scheduling, and tracking workers to optimize the balance of customer, employee, labour laws and organizational needs.”
3. 3 Top Pains in Hospitality Payroll “leakage” Knowing the exact labor costs Knowing the labor costs in advance. Not after the fact. Islands of data (pay upon schedule, setup employees once etc) Overstaffing and/or understaffing “Blank Check” budgeting (Forecast = schedule) How different was planning from real-life (planned vs. Actual Being able to forecast based on business needs (hourly employees) Better control of outsourcing staff (overcharged by the outsourcers)
4. 4 Risky Misconceptions Not having a Time & Attendance solution can cost companies greatly, especially if you have THIS attitude… “Our Time & Attendance is not complicated. We have people who do it manually, and we do not pay them that much” “We aren’t being sued today, therefore it must not be risky” “These costs or savings are not on any balance sheet. So how can these numbers be trusted?”
5. 5 Risky Misconceptions The stuff that’s not being shown on a balance sheet… Unreported Time Off Buddy punching and fraud Human error Internal Manipulations of reported activity True labor costs of projects and activities The costs of absences (partial, planned and unplanned time off) Working the clock (rounding rules etc) Management time preparing schedules Missed meal breaks Abuse of shift breaks Pyramiding premiums & extra pay (earning up to 4 times the base rate Overpaying non-worked time Unapproved overtime Lost productivity (no shows) Unreported overpayments Cost of payroll adjustments Inconsistent payments Incentive programs that no longer motivate Bonus programs that achieve opposite results Duplication of work efforts Poor customer satisfaction Save 2-5% of your annual payroll costs.
