Inany manufacturing, retail, or service business, labor is a critical component
of operating and financial success. And labor costs are one of the highest
areas of controllable expense. It’s important to remember, though, that cost
management is only one element of labor optimization. Reducing
labor costs too aggressively can sub-optimize results, leading to lost revenue
and profits. To achieve the best outcomes, you need a partner with the
expertise to balance service and costs.
