Everyone can see the workforce crisis. What’s less visible is why so many initiatives stall out. Most workforce decisions still rely on proxies - job titles, FTEs, averages, and benchmarks.
Those tools describe who is employed, not how work unfolds day to day. They hide where time, effort, and skill are truly spent.
As a result, organizations keep optimizing around the edges while the real constraints remain invisible.
