As for any organisation, employees are a Public Sector organisation’s biggest asset, but they are also their biggest fixed cost. Service does not stop at specific hours and unexpected peaks in demand can arise at anytime making overtime in the Public Sector a common occurrence. However, if not managed adequately, it can have a serious impact on operational costs as well as jeopardise employee morale and quality of work. Being able to effectively optimise the workforce can deliver visible cost savings whilst improving the service provided to the customer.
