Workforce Management for the Hospitality Industry

What is Workforce Management
• Part of the Greater Human Capital Management (HCM) Model• Human Resources – Hiring/firing, skills management, compliance
to regulations and standards
• Workforce Management – Regular vs. overtime hours, vacation
and sick time, scheduling, costing or billing
• Payroll – EI/CPP/etc. deductions, salary
“Workforce Management (WFM) encompasses all the activities, processes, and tools needed to manage a workforce. A comprehensive WFM system includes planning, forecasting, scheduling, and tracking workers to optimize the balance of customer, employee, labour laws and organizational needs.”

Top Pains in Hospitality
• Payroll “leakage”
• Knowing the exact labor costs
• Knowing the labor costs in advance. Not after the fact.
• Islands of data (pay upon schedule, setup employees once etc)
• Overstaffing and/or understaffing
• “Blank Check” budgeting (Forecast = schedule)
• How different was planning from real-life (planned vs. Actual
• Being able to forecast based on business needs (hourly employees)
• Better control of outsourcing staff (overcharged by the outsourcers)

Risky Misconceptions
• Not having a Time & Attendance solution can cost
companies greatly, especially if you have THIS attitude…
• “Our Time & Attendance is not complicated. We have people
who do it manually, and we do not pay them that much”
• “We aren’t being sued today, therefore it must not be risky”
• “These costs or savings are not on any balance sheet.
So how can these numbers be trusted?”
