Your organization is in the midst of a selection process for a workforce scheduling solution. This may be a tightly focused initiative or part of a larger human resource information system (HRIS). Either way, there is a need to disambiguate the market and arrive at a shortlist of vendors.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- The hospitality industry runs 24/7 and casinos need to create systems for complex scheduling, changing labor regulations, and unique policies.
- Dealers and supervisors for table games have specific skills and proficiencies. Older systems with cumbersome processes do not effectively deal with the challenges of scheduling for table games.
Impact and Result
- Business volumes can inform the optimum number and arrangement of table games. However, IT can expect pushback from operational managers who feel that the forecasted solution rubs against their knowledge and experience.
- Cost consciousness is a top priority for casinos. Even though a workforce planning strategy requires investment in operational capabilities and applications, reducing inefficiencies should show tangible and intangible benefits in the long term.
