Workforce Management
Management of the working time environment
Workforce Management covers the provision to management with all the necessary information to enable them to make strategic and tactical decisions and plans when circumstances within the business or with the employee change.
Information required for individual staff can include:
- Skills
- Experience
- Training
- Shifts and patterns
- Hours worked/ time and attendance
- Absences
- Parental leave
- Overtime
- Reserve or bank hours
- Holidays
Access to this information allows for informed management decisions affecting shift allocation, shift swaps, shift extensions or reductions in shift cover with a view to matching the business demand with workforce supply. This information will also measure the impact of changes to patterns with regard to legislative or other set constraints such as Working Time Regulations.
Conventional IT approaches have split this information into broadly two categories – Personnel/HR software and Time and Attendance software. This division has left managers with little access to decision support and management information for what in most organisations is their most costly resource – that is, manpower.
