The Challenge
Reducing overtime, timing, and visibility issues
One portfolio blossomed from five pilots to a full estate of 80+ hotels. This brought on a challenge that needed to be tackled in a big way. Remington Hotels had to reduce overtime from 3.5% estate-wide to its goal of under 2%. That would translate to $100,000 per month of overtime reduction, with more than $1,000,000 estate-wide savings. The main culprits causing those problems were timing and visibility issues. The portfolio’s actualized labor was being posted well after the fact when it was simply too late to catch employees hitting lots of overtime in a week.
The Solution
Hotel Effectiveness' PerfectLabor
Remington partnered with Hotel Effectiveness - using PerfectLabor - to add visibility for leadership to manage labor costs, which then positively impacted the overall GOP of its hotels. As the 5,000+ hotels that use Hotel Effectiveness know, our advanced suite of products drops hotel’s total overtime to 2% or below — exactly what Remington needed.
PerfectLabor—an innovative labor management solution— enabled Remington’s hotel managers to optimize their staffing decisions using a variety of tools, allowing them to effortlessly view future schedules and track overtime before it happens, while boosting profitability.

The Results
Reduced overtime, big savings
After just a few months of the pilot properties using PerfectLabor, Remington had shown reductions in overtime for those hotels, resulting in the remainder of the portfolio activating PerfectLabor, and Hotel Effectiveness being chosen as the partner to help Remington bring estate-wide overtime below 2%.
After all, “timing for when labor is available is critical—especially now, we have to ask ourselves what we can do to ensure we are correcting shortfalls every day,” notes Homan Cull, Remington Hotels’ Vice President, Feasibility & Financial Planning. “PerfectLabor gives us immediate information, and without it, you’d be relying on people to calculate out labor, complete timecards, and do manual efforts. Those days are over.”
