• Analyze labor expense and staffing data (payroll, hours, volumes, and budget) to identify drivers of productivity performance and improvement opportunities
• Validate and reconcile client-provided data for benchmarking (e.g., mapping accounts, normalizing pay codes, ensuring consistent definitions) to ensure accurate and comparable results
• Work collaboratively with project teams to execute engagement objectives, develop work plans, coordinate across work streams, and perform detailed analyses
• Support the development of recommendations by synthesizing quantitative and qualitative findings
