Case Study: Hobson & Company achieves significant labor-cost reductions and optimized staffing with QGenda Workforce Management

Reduce Labor Expense with QGenda Workforce Management

Hobson & Company was struggling with high provider labor expense driven by sub‑optimal scheduling—extra shifts, overtime, locum coverage, and chronic overstaffing that eroded margins. To address this, they turned to QGenda’s workforce management solution, using QGenda Interactive Scheduling, Provider Daily Visibility and extended scheduling horizon features to better align staffing with contractual and operational needs.

QGenda implemented tools to prioritize constrained resources, flag overtime risk, and track vacation usage, which yielded measurable savings: an average 25% reduction in incremental salary expense, about $2,500 saved per provider per year from lower staffing levels, and a 10% reduction in vacation payout expense. QGenda’s customers report up to a 50% cut in annual incremental labor expense, and a modeled 70‑provider organization realized more than $200K in annual benefits, enabling more precise hiring and improved profitability.
