Working Pattern Re-design

Re-aligning existing work patterns with a daily, weekly or long term workload demand can be challenging for even the most effective managers. Designing the optimum shift patterns, building in absence and holidays while taking account of reserve hours and minimising the potential for premium overtime payments is complex in its own right. With the further challenge of introducing more flexible working and selling the benefits to employees and unions makes the challenge just too great for many.

LSI consultants have the sophisticated tools, expertise and extensive experience to successfully implement new innovative working patterns to improve your service levels, employee effectiveness and satisfaction, and giving you a much more flexible, agile workforce.

By agreeing with each client both their base line and target service and employee effectiveness levels, LSI can design a range of new, practical working patterns, shifts and schedules which can be deployed either as a set of quick easy wins or over a longer term if more significant, strategic change is required.

LSI has successfully re-designed the working patterns for clients in the following sectors:-

• Emergency Services
• Retailers
• Airport Security
• Manufacturing
• Transport

With benefits including increased service level, reduced ineffectiveness, absenteeism, cost and labour churn, LSI can show you where the opportunities lie and develop a programme to realise the level of benefits you choose to achieve.
