Managing a workforce is a challenging process and as the dynamics of permanent, contract and casual employees continue to change, the drive to automate workforce management is a central part of many transformation programs.
As automation reaches maturity, organisations are now looking to optimise rostering and workforce scheduling in an ever-changing environment.
Effective workforce management (WFM) is responsive to the changing demands of an organisation, with systems and tools in place to support optimisation of staff scheduling, effective demand forecasting, day-to-day performance and analysis of the business’s needs.
Managing your workforces is a human-to-human relationship that is difficult to systematise. It cannot be treated as a function in isolation, particularly when WFM relies heavily on integration with other systems. Both the ‘human element’ and systematisation pose unique challenges and impacts for WFM.
We work with our clients to answer four critical questions:
- Do we have the right Strategy?
- Do we have the right implementation approach?
- Do we have the right software and vendors?
- Do we have the right project structures, resources and processes?
Quay provides the necessary change agents that support an organisation’s journey from traditional workforce methods to automated WFM, which also de-risks the process of change. Working with our consultant team will ensure a high degree of collaboration and engagement with users and senior stakeholders during the planning and execution of the change activities.
Our collaborative change approach ensures that clients are fully engaged during the full life cycle of the change and can more effectively identify and manage change within their business.
