Workforce Management (WFM) technology is gaining attention because it is so closely linked to cost savings. HR.com surveyed 124 organizations to learn where they are getting value from their WFM solutions, the challenges they faced, and their plans for the future.
What is striking about the findings, for an HR professional, is that they show workforce management solutions have a large, fast payoff. Clearly everything HR does, from recruiting to exit interviews, is meant to have a large payoff, but rarely are the results so clear.
What makes workforce management special is that it is very closely tied to day-to-day operations. Put in a system today and a manager may be able to reduce overtime costs tomorrow. The survey also reminds us that workforce management is an umbrella term that covers many different activities. A simple finding such as “Attendance Tracking is important”; proves to be more complex when you look at it case-by-case since organizations may want attendance tracking for quite different reasons (e.g. for reward; for compliance; for tying costs to projects).
Organizations need to be clear about what they most need for their particular operations. Workforce management solutions will play a big role in the lives of HR managers for the foreseeable future.
