Ground workforce planning & retention with a smarter foundation

Many institutions approach workforce planning and retention with top-down, departmentally-siloed budgets and low visibility into role or skill redundancies. The result: stagnant roles and organizational structures.

Whether you're navigating hiring freezes, facing retention challenges, or looking to redeploy talent before positions turn over, you have the data you need to act with precision.

Auburn University's staffing strategy started with a benchmark.

When budget pressures fueled by COVID-19 prompted many institutions to apply uniform hiring controls, Auburn University used HelioCampus' unique benchmarked labor cost data to identify areas of over- and under-staffing to maximize administrative spending. 

 

With that precision, Auburn made targeted investments in hiring, compensation, and a new supervisory leadership program that grew from a small cohort to a long waiting list.

More precise insight. More impactful workforce decisions.

Your institution's largest expense is labor. When workforce planning is guided by activity-based data—not siloed departmental estimates or spreadsheets—you can redeploy before you cut, retain the people who keep your institution running smoothly, hire where it counts, and make a more precise case with leadership and governing boards.
