Reduce hours required in the schedule to create the most compact use of labour possible
Optimising labour spend is critical for retailers, and often, improvements are measured in basis points. Legion WFM helped this retailer achieve a 500 basis point improvement in labour efficiency across thousands of its stores. This improvement in workload efficiency enables them to reinvest that labour to serve customers better and increase customer satisfaction. ‘There are very few projects that have that high a level of impact,’
