Top Rated Employee Schedules and Employee Scheduling Techniques Recognized By International Institute for Labor Strategy and Kraft Foods

Past clients and think tanks alike have put their stamp of approval on the Core Practice Partners methodology and results. To highlight the achievements of the company, Ethan Franklin shared some differentiators. “There are other companies that consult on scheduling, but we are truly different. We are comprised of real experts with degrees in law, business, and engineering. Some of our people have degrees in all three areas. There is a difference in being able to draw some interesting schedules and understanding the entire industry. We have the comprehensive skills and experience to get the job done properly.”

Bill Cowell of Core Practice Partners outlined the key points. “Schedule design is the easy part of developing a new schedule. The key to developing the right schedule is to understand the unique aspects of each facility: the operations and labor strategy required to make the business successful, inputs from employees to gain their buy-in, as well as the safety and health aspects. A comprehensive implementation strategy must be developed to ensure that the cost saving benefits are achieved and any potential negative effects of change are eliminated or minimized.”

To highlight expertise and allow customers to look before they leap, Core Practice Partners has recently begun offering their famous Labor Strategy Workshop for free (unless travel is required and then that is the only cost). Educating the potential client before they go after various opportunities provides a level of comfort they appreciate.

We have about 450 employees at our location. I seem to have a good understanding of our employee's desires, but I wondering about health factors during the off-shifts. How can you impact this area while still working afternoons and nights? Also, is this covered in the labor strategy workshop?
