Staffing Analysis
There are many levels to Public Works Staffing Analysis, but the experts at Public Works Consultants can handle them all. We work with you to ensure money is being saved wherever possible so more public works activities can take place.
Two essential parts to proper public works fleet management are staffing analysis and infrastructure assessments. Both of these factors are made up of many moving parts and subtle details. PWC will ensure that all areas are analyzed and assessed to the smallest degree in order to increase overall efficiency and decrease clutter tremendously.
Public Works Staffing Analysis
The purpose of staffing analysis is to study the targeted service levels of staffing and reflect on their cost-effectiveness.
Staffing levels are necessary for effective staffing. It is crucial to understand the importance of having the right number of employees in the right places at the right times. Not only is the correct number of employees vital in proper public works fleet management, but ensuring the employees have the knowledge, skills, and experience suitable for the position.
The development of staffing levels is determined by the needs and desires of those in the community. Targeted service levels are based on the development of the necessary staffing levels.
At Public Works Consultants, we determine the acceptable staffing levels based on the idea that service levels are different for every community. Determining ideal staffing levels is done using a number of various factors.
These factors include:
- Use of work scheduling and planning
- Attaining sufficient productivity levels
- Acceptable crew sizes
- Use of the latest technology
- Season employees
- Areas to privatize
Work Scheduling and Planning
Prioritizing time is necessary for efficiency in any business. If your work scheduling and planning isn’t as efficient as possible, then you could be wasting money in areas like crew size. In other words, you may not need as many employees as you think.
Sufficient Productivity Levels
Identifying the needs of your staff is key to attaining sufficient productivity levels. Not only this, but our Public Works Staffing Analysis consultants will also make sure every position is as productive as possible to minimize crew size as well.
We do this by analyzing which jobs could potentially be done by one person rather than multiple. Once this is achieved, we look to keeping the workers as productive as possible based on their desires and needs in order to get the job done effectively.
Crew Size
Acceptable crew size is the foundation of every staffing analysis. Analyzing skill-set and productivity in employees is vital to keeping an efficient team that saves the organization money.
There are many cases where the crew size is larger than it needs to be, and without proper public works fleet management and staffing analysis, this wouldn’t have been caught.
Employee retention rate is another aspect of crew size that is analyzed. Typically, if an organization has a poor retention rate, it shines a light on problem areas within staffing levels that need to be addressed.
Technology
Crew efficiency is directly associated with the proper use of the latest technologies, most of the time. Technology is there to make our lives easier, and if they aren’t being utilized efficiently, the consultants at PWC will figure out ways to increase technology efficiency.
Seasonal Employees
Based on the organization, some work better with more seasonal employees, while others do not. It is our job to determine which works best and capitalize on it. Sometimes seasonal employees decrease efficiency due to lack of skill-set or experience. Still, if there is a detailed and structured training plan in place, temporary employees could do wonders for cost-effectiveness.
If seasonal employees prove to be effective through the staffing analysis, the employer would end up benefitting from the use of the “lookback measurement” method and bring back past seasonal employees that worked well with organizational efficiency.
Areas to Privatize
Privatization is the process in which a government-owned property or business becomes privately owned. That said, the benefits of being able to privatize different areas within an organization can actually save the organization money. That is because private organizations can move goods quicker and more efficiently than government-owned organizations.
One of the last things our consultant will consider during the Public Works Staffing Analysis is if it’s beneficial to move some areas to the private sector.
Public Works Staffing Analysis
Make sure that the staff levels are geared towards the development of targeted service levels that are ultimately driven by the desires and needs of every community.
The Public Works Staffing Analysis strategy used by PWC determines suitable staffing levels from the perspective that the service levels are different for all communities. The determination of ideal staffing levels results from various factors, including the use of work scheduling and planning, attaining sufficient productivity levels and suitable crew sizes, use of the latest technology, and other important considerations.
Once Public Works Staffing Analysis is complete, all trends will be properly identified, and the daily workload will be methodically managed. Staffing levels, organizational structure, and job satisfaction among the employees will be noted and dealt with accordingly to improve the overall cost-effectiveness, and target service levels planned for accordingly.
