Situational studies

Situational research focuses on an assessment of the facts, opinions, and wishes associated with each situation. This includes, for example, studies into the needs, pain points, and development potential of employees in connection with such themes as flexibility and sustainable employability, studies into workloads and work stress (perception), and employee satisfaction surveys about work times and shift rosters.

Evaluation studies

These are studies that focus on an evaluation of change processes. They include comparisons of the results of measurements before and after the changes were implemented (e.g., after the introduction of self-rostering), as well as a direct evaluation of the preconditions and critical success factors for a possible implementation of the changes on a larger scale.

Benchmark studies

Déhora also carries out benchmark studies that enables comparison against a certain baseline. This includes, for example, comparisons of time-related employment conditions (e.g., the size of the allowances paid for working irregular shifts). It also includes comparisons of the social and ergonomic aspects of different shift rosters, and issues such as the cost and efficiency of workforce planning.

Highlighted case

NedTrain

Better alignment between staffing level and workload because of self-rostering

Balancing the workload and the preferences of employees is a difficult task for any workforce planner. In addition at NedTrain, there were also considerable peaks and troughs in the workload. NedTrain wanted to achieve a better alignment between the staffing level and the actual workload so that is why they introduced self-rostering.
