Workforce Strategy

We offer a unique Workforce Strategy approach, driving the future of the talent management strategy, to create operating income impact and value for clients. Our approach combines our internal talent management service expertise, our strategic sourcing knowledge and 18 years of strategy consulting experience as well as our extensive workforce network and our awareness of modern industry challenges.

Workforce Strategy Components:

“The Variable Workforce” model – dynamic ability to “flex up” and “flex down” the workforce:

  • Pay for baseline capacity, enabling scale to peak on an as-needed basis (e.g., month end and quarter end)
  • Contract structuring, which includes baseline fee combined with spot pricing for spikes and periodic evaluation points for baseline
  • Acquisition “friendly”
  • A low-cost alternative, which also creates high productivity

Strategic sourcing targets for each component of the business model to optimize labor supply mix:

  • Fixed/Variable
  • On-/Offshore
  • Temporary/Permanent

Optimization:

  • Higher productivity
  • Retention of critical resources
  • Optimized supply and demand using the appropriate mix of temporary, permanent, onshore and offshore resources in the short- and the long-term

As a result of our workforce strategy, our clients are able to take advantage of unused capacity and obtain a sustainable lower cost of labor. We also provide clients with the following Workforce Strategy deliverables:

  • Workforce blueprint and strategic operating model
  • Short- and long-term roadmap
  • Business case that illustrates the operating income impact
