Yet, even successful projects often fail to achieve the full range of intended benefits. In the case of a technology project seeking to hit its mark—from staying on budget to achieving the desired results—these failures can be traced back to shortcomings in how the human element of the project was managed.
As organizations grow, so do the advantages of using labor data to inform business strategy. If the need for better labor data requires your organization to implement a new workforce management solution, think ‘transition,’ not simply ‘change.’ Effectively managing the transition can keep a technology initiative on track, help employees focus on the benefits of the new solution and support a positive rollout with lasting results. |

This paper provides a guide to large employers confronted by that dilemma. The following sections help you identify and describe the product capabilities – and corresponding process improvements – that separate a basic timekeeping system from an enterprise-grade time and attendance solution. In addition, the paper will equip you with questions to ask potential providers to uncover whether they have the resources, expertise, and products capable of optimizing your time and attendance processes. |

With a flexible, configurable workforce management solution in place you can monitor, compare, and assess data generated by your total workforce, accelerating the discovery of new best practices, and ensuring that those practices can be rapidly adopted across the organization, when applicable. Since these best practices pertain to achieving the right labor mix, when you think about total coverage you need to include contingent staff in that calculation.
Real-time visibility into your total workforce also makes it easier to evaluate the cost and productivity of contingent workers in time to make nimble staffing decisions. When you have excess work, you’ll know whether it’s smarter to hire more employees or contract the work out. During a six-month contract, you’ll be able to see—before the contract is over—if the decision to leverage outside resources is working out the way you intended, allowing you to make changes to support a more effective way of getting business done. Unplanned absences and other fluctuations will also be easier to respond to when you have a clear picture of the pros and cons of using contingent labor. |
