Workbrain Workforce Planning

Operating on the critical front lines of the retail operation, an optimal workforce creates a shopping experience that is profitable for retailers and satisfying for customers. Agile employee scheduling, time and attendance and analytical processes allow retailers to maintain the intricate balance of workforce supply and customer demand. Yet the most efficient execution of these day-of-operations processes can be wasted if upstream activities such as labor budgeting and planning are inadequate.

Retailers struggle to create accurate and comprehensive labor roadmaps because annual and quarterly forecasting activities:

• Rely on disconnected, standalone spreadsheets and processes
• Require lengthy and inaccurate aggregation, synchronization and edit cycles
• Are costly, time consuming and error-prone
• Do not integrate with day-to-day workforce processes such as forecasting and scheduling
