CAPACITY ESTIMATE
See how much capacity you could release
This is a simple estimate, based on your own numbers. It works out how much time your team could release if the chasing, re-keying, checking and reporting were reduced. Use it as a starting point for a conversation, not as a promise. Your figures will be better than any generic benchmark.
Chasing, re-keying, checking, reconciling, rebuilding reports.
Excludes holiday and non working weeks.
Typical improvements sit between 20 and 40 percent. We keep the default conservative on purpose.

An estimate, not a guarantee. It assumes the work can be redesigned without adding headcount. Every figure should be checked against your own data.
Capacity estimate
What that time could be used for
Released capacity is only worth something if it is pointed at work that matters. These are the places HR leaders most often send it.
Business partnering
Time with the leaders who need it most, instead of cleaning up data.
Workforce planning
Spot the pressure points early, before they become urgent.
Better decisions
Reports people trust, produced without a rebuild each month.
Manager support
Give managers answers sooner, so fewer issues escalate to HR.
Compliance and risk
Keep controls tight without adding more manual checks.
Measure the change
How this is measured
Numbers like these only stay true if someone measures them. We set the baseline before any change, agree the target with you, and track it afterwards, so the result stands up in front of a board.
01
Baseline the work
Record where the hours go now, and the cost of the current process.
02
Agree the target
Decide what will change, by how much, and by when.
03
Make the change
Fix the process, the configuration, the data or the ownership behind it.
04
Track and report
Measure the same numbers after the change, and report them plainly.
You keep the numbers and the evidence. They are yours to take to your board.

What this does not include
It does not assume you need a new system.
It does not assume headcount reductions.
It does not replace a proper diagnostic. It gives you a reason to start one.
