Labor Strategy

In a world where the performance of people drives financial results, having the right labor strategy is critical. After all, an organization’s most controllable cost and highest value creator is its people. By leveraging the right labor strategies and creating appropriate governing principles for leaders, organizations can achieve cost savings while driving increased engagement. Whether an owner-operator or potential investor, all parties can benefit from crucial insights into an organization’s current labor environment.

Ankura’s labor strategy professionals help clients design and implement labor strategies, including shift schedules, to produce rapid and sustainable improvements. We help our clients understand their cultural stability, identify opportunities to remove hidden costs, and drive profit by engaging with their employees in a meaningful way.
