Human Resources: Workforce Management Technology Expert Draws Upon Real Time Visibility to Solve Business Problems

Richmond, Va. – Author and workforce management technology expert Lisa Disselkamp shows you how to take your business from reactive to proactive and improve performance in her new book No Boundaries (Wiley), a vendor-neutral guide on how companies can use workforce management systems to improve productivity and profits. No Boundaries debuted June 28 at the 61st Annual SHRM Conference & Exposition in New Orleans.

Drawing upon years of experience, Disselkamp offers numerous case studies illustrating how organizations have used workforce management systems to solve their business problems. She demonstrates how the latest software uses data from time and attendance to create real time visibility into employee activity and cost, including using labor data to achieve financial goals and maximize profits; using workforce management technology to enhance operations, quality, compliance, and employee satisfaction and retention; and integration with other key business information.

“In our current economic climate, every employer should seriously evaluate what workforce management tools are necessary to ensure that the business is managed effectively and efficiently. This book was not written to sell the next latest and greatest tech tools to manage time and attendance.

“Instead, Disselkamp very effectively provides guidance regarding what workforce management tools should be in place and how you as an employer can ensure that the use of these tools positively impacts your organization’s bottom line,” said Andy Brantley, President and Chief Executive Officer, College and University Professional Association for Human Resources (CUPA-HR).

Bridging the gap between what business leaders understand about their business and what they have yet to learn about this technology, this book introduces the concept of Mission Based Configuration, showing companies how to apply time and labor systems to their business needs to save time and money.

The use of technology offers an effective tool to manage budgets, meet strategic targets, and channel decision-making toward best practices. No Boundaries reveals how businesses can win the race for profits and productivity.
