The problem

Finance and HR lack shared visibility into drivers of labor cost variance.

The opportunity

Less time on lookup. A person still owns anything that affects someone's job.

What the solution does

Analytics decompose labor costs by segment and recommend optimization levers.

Limitations and risks

Stale data, inherited bias, and privacy rules. Name a human who is accountable for career-affecting answers.

What implementation requires

Start with one process. Agree how you will score it. Involve legal and HR before you scale. Track whether people use it, not only whether the model is accurate.
