Often, individual business owners
believe that they can save money by not using a specially designed software
system or by replacement them with free resources such as Google Docs and
spreadsheets to manage their employees. A very small company can function in
this way but for larger organizations a bigger system will be needed so there
is room to expand.
Are you familiar with the concept of
Moneyball?
Billy Beane
changed the face of baseball using math, data, and analytics. You can do the
same for your business.
Look at the following questions and think if the answer would be helpful to you and if so, how long would it take for you to get the answer using current system?
- Who is available to work tomorrow with a specific skill set and location?
- How many people in system prefer text messages to emailed communications?
- Is there anyone in your system who works more than 50% of their jobs at just one client?
- Is there a day of the week where you see more no-shows than others?
- Who is being selected for specific clients when submitted through your VMS?
- Is there one employee who has a pattern of rejecting certain jobs?
- Do you have to consistently correct employee hours on their time sheets?
- Which employee has to be reminded regularly to turn in their hours each week?
- What is the hiring trend for a client?
- What type of skills your clients are searching for?
