The Top 10 Labor Management Mistakes For 2011 is a miniature crash course on labor strategy in shift work environments. John Frehse from Core Practice is well known for delivering impactful meetings where participants leave will information they can start using immediately. John will review the top 10 mistakes his firm is forecasting for the 2011 calendar year and highlight potential solutions for many of these errors.
There is still time for your company to make adjustments and start capturing some of these opportunities, so do not miss this chance to learn new strategies.
Key topics will include: overtime optimization, HR policy alignment and employee morale correction through benchmarking. The group will review actual employee benchmark data from our database of over 100,000 shift workers and see why management teams must have clear answers to specific employee morale questions. Participants will see why sticking to traditional 8 hour shifts is not just bad for business, it is also bad for employee morale in many cases.
Everyone will learn how to calculate the True Labor Cost for his or her own environments. This means that all participants should be ready with a calculator for this session. We will be doing a small amount of math.
The common misconception that overtime is bad and extremely expensive will be proven untrue during this section of the meeting. The group will leave the session armed with both real data and a new outlook.
Who Should Participate
Participation should include core plant management teams including Operations, HR, Finance, Quality, and Maintenance groups. Executive level Operations, HR, and Finance staff will also find this session valuable.
What You Will Learn
Participants will learn the following three strategies: 1. How to properly calculate labor costs including the adverse costs of overtime and idle labor time which are critical to making staffing decisions. 2. Common HR errors that costs millions and do little if anything to motivate employees. 3. Employee benchmarks specific around how they feel about management and their current work environment.
