To accurately predict the future, you must understand the past.  The first step towards Workforce Optimization is a complete review and analysis of your operation’s recent history.  Working closely with your facility management, we will analyze everything from census demand to future expansion plans in order to develop on-target workforce demand projections and forecasts.

Our analyze phase contains four key areas of review:

1. Historical Demand – reviewing one to three years of market demand through census based data.

• Statistical analysis of one to three years of historical census demand
• Granular detail drilling down to the unit level
• Identifying demand patterns, trends, and variances

2. Workforce Dynamics – analysis of the key metrics and outcomes of your current workforce strategy and structure.

• Employee turnover
• Vacancy and shortage forecasts
• Staff misalignment
• Staff salaries and budgets
• Past performance

3. Environmental Setting – assessing the workforce impact of the local market and facility requirements and future plans.

• Staffing models and acuity
• Facility focus and services
• Changes in demographics
• Competitive influences
• Union rules
• Labor laws

4. Demand Prediction and Forecasting – based on the statistical analysis of your census, workforce and environmental analysis, we create detailed demand projections, including:

• By schedule periods
• Quarterly
• Annually
