Workforce Cost Summary
Translate wasted workforce time into financial impact. Convert unproductive hours into dollar costs so leaders can see where inefficiencies live and what to do about them.
Make Invisible Losses Visible
Without a clear link between time and dollars, workforce decisions rely on guesswork. Workforce Cost Summary quantifies the cost of low utilization and idle time so you can prioritize the changes that matter most.
Quantifies inefficiencies in dollars
Highlights savings & reallocation opportunities
Supports smarter budget & investment decisions
Increases transparency for leadership
Cost Summary Dashboard
The dashboard aggregates productivity data and salary inputs to show:
Cost of baseline shortfall
Cost of idle & unproductive time
Total FTE slack across filters
FTE Slack helps leaders see when underutilization equals one or more full-time
roles, unlocking potential for strategic redeployment.
From Utilization to FTE Slack
This turns abstract “lost time” into tangible cost and staffing insights.
Baseline Shortfall
minimum expected utilization (60%) vs. actual utilization
Cost of Shortfall
dollarized impact of the gap using your salary inputs
FTE Slack
reveals when underutilized hours add up to the equivalent of a full employee, making reallocation opportunities clear

Example in Action
Scenario
Imagine a team of 50 employees with an average salary of $80,000 per year.
- Baseline Utilization Goal: 60%
- Actual Utilization: 50%
- Shortfall: 10% (~200 lost hours/employee annually)
Financial Impact
wasted salary spend
equivalent sitting idle
