1 SUMMARY

Overall, the Hawkesbury General Hospital (HGH) has the potential to save $197,251 (annual,
based on April 1, 2008 – March 31, 2009).

Kronos used Workforce Analytics™, its proprietary labor analytics solution to prepare this diagnostic
assessment. In general, labor analytic measures and KPIs provide micro-level visibility into the trends,
drivers and outliers that create excess labor cost and lost productivity. In addition, Workforce Analytics™
provides: organizations with the ability to hold supervisors and employees accountable, managers with
actionable information and data to support process improvements, and the corporation the ability to
control costs.

Below is a summary of potential cost savings for HGH:


• $142,188 if overtime costs for outlier occupations are brought in line with company average
Overtime Hours as % of Total Paid Hours.
• $55,333 if rounding rule abuse is addressed.
Both of these are expanded on in detail in the sections that follow.
The cost savings analysis was based on wages for limited Occupation Types; overtime assumed to be 1.5
times average regular for the purposes of the cost analysis included in this document.

NOTE: The analysis contained in this document is meant solely to identify potential areas for cost
reduction. Kronos does not guarantee any labor cost reductions by delivering this document;
savings may only result from actions taken by HGH. This assessment is blind to quality of care
considerations that may impact HGH’s ability to optimize labor scheduling and utilization.
Cost-based measures are available in Workforce Analytics™ when wages are stored in WFC; user
access to wages in WFC may be controlled by the “Wage Access Profile Switch”, i.e. the data
could be stored in WFC without anyone having access to it in WFC, access would only be for
managers with access to Analytics.

2 EXCESS LABOR COST
In the Workforce Analytics™ platform, excess labor cost is comprised of several metric categories, including (but not limited to): Overtime and
Time Paid Not Worked (i.e. rounding rule abuse).

2.1 OVERTIME
2.1.1 TREND—HOURS PER EMPLOYEE, PER INVOLVED
This Overtime Hours trend allows for very high-level comparison across the total organization; Workforce Analytics™ provides the easy ability to
filter results by any Labor Level and/or Employee.

Hours Hours per Employee Hours per Involved

The graph above shows that for employees who incurred overtime, a high was reached in August 2008, when 13.29 hours were incurred per
Involved (number of OT hours / number of employees who incurred overtime). Lower per Involved value means that more employees are
incurring the overtime (hours are distributed across more employees). The next section shows that total Overtime Hours is trending up for the
year over year 24-month period.

2.1.2 TREND—MONTHLY CONTRIBUTION TO TOTAL OT HOURS
This trend shows that Overtime has been steadily increasing at HGH, with significant peaks in March and August of 2008, incurring 2721.93 and
2590.60 hours respectively.

Considering this in context of the previous section: there are more total hours (upward trend) being distributed across an increased
number of employees incurring the overtime.
This leads to the following questions for further consideration:
• Are there opportunities to replace overtime labor with regular labor?
• Does staffing need to be increased?
• Are there outside factors, e.g. closing of surrounding/competitive facilities that have contributed to influx of additional patients?

2.1.3 OUTLIERS
HGH provided regular wage rate for select, non-salaried Occupation Types. Those occupations were
evaluated, and the following outliers are performing above the company average of 2.71% Overtime
Hours as Percent of Paid Hours.
Occupation Type Overtime HRS as a % Overtime HRS as a %
of Worked HRS of Paid HRS
Commis Clinique Consultant 7.79% 6.35%
Orderly 5.55% 5.42%
Reg Nurse 5.94% 5.11%
RPN 4.94% 4.39%
Senior Tech Ultrasound 5.41% 4.05%
Senior Tech 4.25% 3.61%
Security Guard with HOOPP - 1 yr plus 3.63% 3.58%
Porter 3.17% 2.93%

If overtime for these outliers is brought in line with average, i.e. reduced to 2.71%, HGH has the
potential to save $142,187.60, based on April 1, 2008 – March 31, 2009 data. This equates to
reducing Overtime by 9179.95 hours, to be replaced by Regular hours.
NOTE: Average regular wage per occupation x 1.5 = average OT wage per occupation. This cost
savings example is based on wage information for a limited number of occupations; actual
savings may be greater (i.e. if there are additional outliers exceeding 2.71% overtime
performance for which cost information was not available at time of this analysis).

Another way to look at Outliers is by organization breakout, where the following 2 organizations
significantly exceeded the company average 2.71% Overtime Hours as Percent of Paid Hours for the April
1, 2008 – March 31, 2009 time frame:
Overtime HRS as a % Overtime HRS as a %
Organization of Worked HRS of Paid HRS
Hawkesbury General Hospital 3.19% 2.71%
Ambulatory Services 5.41% 4.76%
Nursing In-Patient Services 5.18% 4.40%
Diagnostic & Therapeutic Services 1.32% 1.08%
Administration & Support Services 1.16% 0.98%
Community Services 0.30% 0.23%
Mental Health Services 0.25% 0.22%
Marketing Services 0.19% 0.17%
In Service 0.04% 0.04%

NOTE: This outlier information (section 2.1.3) was analyzed on the 12 months from April 1, 2008 –
March 31, 2009.

2.1.4 CORRELATION OF OVERTIME TO OTHER METRICS
Lastly, Overtime may be taken in the context of other metrics. The following shows a trend of Overtime vs. Unexcused Absenteeism, in other
words: Scheduled Not Worked / non-approved absences.
As is clearly demonstrated, the increasing trend in overtime is paralleled by the increasing trend in Unexcused Absenteeism.

NOTE: The accuracy of the Absenteeism category is dependent on schedules, which were present in the HGH data. In contrast to Unexcused
Absenteeism (displayed above), Excused Absenteeism requires manager approval of the exception (in Workforce Timekeeper).

2.2 TIME PAID NOT WORKED (ROUNDING RULES)
Good news – HGH is benefiting significantly and consistently from the current rounding rule
configuration, a negative differential is benefit to the organization (positive would be benefit to the
employee).

2.2.1 TREND—TIME PAID NOT WORKED (SPLIT BY IN/OUT PUNCHES)


Regardless of the observation in the preceding section, the 12-month trend below shows that there is
significantly more abuse on the out punch. Thought of in a business context, this is perhaps people
leaving early knowing that the out punch on their time card is rounded forward.

2.2.2 OUTLIERS
The average Time Paid Not Worked at HGH is 0.36%. If eliminated altogether (not just those
exceeding the average), HGH has the potential to save $55,333.20 (based on 12 months from
April 1, 2008 – March 31, 2009).

3 WORKFORCE ANALYTICS™ PLATFORM
Visibility to value: See workforce impact on business results
Workforce Analytics™ gives you a quick and easy view of workforce performance — enterprise-wide to
individual contributor.
These web-based, on-demand views show how your labor force is aligning with company-specific or
industry best-practice key performance indicators (KPIs); indicators show you when these benchmarks
have been exceeded. Dashboards display valuable information, such as manager-performance
scorecards, time-period or individual-performance-to-group comparisons, and cost-saving correlations —
for example, determining if a rise in unplanned overtime is resulting from an increase in unexcused
absences or if overtime is rising and falling with volume levels.
Meaningful insight to improve and maximize workday return
Now that you have the visibility into your workforce and have determined where you need to focus, you
can start asking questions to determine why these labor performance issues, like excessive overtime or
unexpected absenteeism, are happening — the key to maximizing your workday return. By isolating
these past performance concerns and quickly course-correcting, you can more readily align workforce
performance to expected business results. And by identifying trends and distinguishing one-time
occurrences from recurring events, you can better schedule and plan for situations such as increased
volume or sporadic holiday attendance.
The control factor: React responsibly to workforce performance
Without the actionable data and clear insight provided by Workforce Analytics™, your managers might
not have sufficient visibility into labor performance results, leaving them unable to see potential areas of
improvement. By being able to see into labor variances, your managers become empowered to make
corrections to help ensure expected outcomes. Along with this empowerment comes accountability. With
the visibility gained and questions answered, managers can now be expected to control results within
expected targets. Improved workforce performance results, whether they be reduced labor costs or
increased productivity, are now within their control.

4 ASSUMPTIONS
1. HGH’s fiscal calendar was not mapped for the purposes of this Diagnostic Assessment; all dates
are reflective of the standard calendar.
2. All time & attendance data is recorded in Workforce Central® (WFC) at HGH; there are no
outside sources of additional time & attendance data.
3. Wage information is based on the outside list that HGH provided to Kronos for the purposes of
this assessment; wage information was not available in WFC.

NOTE: Cost-based measures are available in Workforce Analytics™ when wages are stored in
WFC; user access to wages in WFC may be controlled by the “Wage Access Profile
Switch”, i.e. the data could be stored in WFC without anyone having access to it in WFC,
access would only be for managers with access to Analytics.
