Management Consulting

Workload studies help determine the required staff and resources to meet performance standards, providing quantitative justification for adjusting budgeted positions and resources. This involves characterizing work tasks, measuring current work volume, and documenting unaccomplished tasks. Workload studies also project future staffing needs based on anticipated work.

Workload studies assist management with determining how many staff and resources are required to adhere to the specified performance standards. A workload study provides quantitative justification for adding, reducing, or redirecting budgeted positions and resources within your organization. This is done through the characterization of work tasks, measuring the current volume of work products and documenting any work that is not getting accomplished that should be. Workload studies also evaluate what work the organization will be required to accomplish in the future and project future staffing needs accordingly.
