TADA24 Session 7: A Data-Informed Approach to Support Strategic Staffing

For NACUBO Members Only

Earlier this year, NACUBO identified workforce concerns as one of the top challenges identified by higher education business officers. With roughly 60% of institutional expenditures on labor, it’s critical to understand how this is allocated.

Join NACUBO and HelioCampus for a presentation and facilitated discussion that dives into how institutions can benefit from an activity-based approach that increases transparency into hidden labor costs traditionally hindered by organizational structures. A deep understanding of this data can support strategic conversations on your campus about alignment of budget to the institution’s goals.

We'll also share anonymized data from our HelioCampus Benchmarking Consortium members and host an open discussion that follows around—

Activity based costing and the impact of centralization
Strategic staffing and planning for the future
Internal and external benchmarking data as an input to financial planning
Understanding how labor spend and research growth can work together to improve financial performance

Don't miss this session if you are interested in discussing and understanding how a more nuanced view of labor spend can provide greater visibility and uncover opportunities to re-allocate and invest.

This session will not be recorded.
