Deployment is measured by matching labour with demand, identifying where adjustments to staffing levels should be made. This process typically improves sales at no extra cost, as well as creating a reduction in labour ratio.

Metrics

Find out the productivity levels across your business. Measuring how efficiently your team can operate in terms of speed and quality is important, particularly in bigger businesses. Using a unique methodology, S4labour will evaluate productivity and show you how to increase it across your business.

Review & implementation

Aligning these challenges generates improved organisational performance.
