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.
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
Protect Salary Data by Design
Your sensitive data is safeguarded with enterprise-grade protections :
Password-gated access to salary & cost fields
Role-based control so only HR or authorized staff see salary data—even system admins are restricted
Data obfuscation in the database to protect salary details at rest
Emergency reset options to restore control in case of compromise
Security and privacy are built into every layer.
