Labor Market Analysis
Is your Contact Center in the right location to attract the talent you are looking for? This is often a difficult question to answer because there are so many competing considerations.
As part of a general labor market analysis, The Northridge Group assists clients with:
Staffing & Facilities Assessments
Our comprehensive staffing and facilities assessments result in recommendations for optimizing staffing efficiencies in current locations and in additional locations/facilities if necessary based on the competitive environment, the current labor market, pay rates, the organization’s work from home strategy and utilization of current and future facilities. When assessing against future growth, if additional facilities will be needed, we will include the best way to optimize the future use of existing and potential new facilities in our analysis.
InSource/Outsource Ratio
Outsource partners can provide labor balancing and cost savings to organizations; however, keeping the essential customer functions in-house is key when driving relationship-based growth strategies. Northridge can help you determine what insource/outsource ratio is optimal for your business.
Location Assessments
Our comprehensive location assessments include an evaluation of all current and potential new locations to determine which locations or combination of locations would most optimally meet your organization’s business goals. If our assessment indicates that new locations are needed, we will provide expert guidance on site selection strategy based on workforce availability, alignment with educational and experiential needs, the competitive environment, local pay rates and site costs. Optimal site locations are important for business continuity, time zone coverage and effective utilization of domestic/offshore and in-house/outsource resources.

How to Execute an Effective Cost Transformation Strategy in 2025
I have spent over 35 plus years in corporate America and have been fortunate to serve as an executive for a Fortune 50 company for many of those years. Throughout my career, I’ve encountered both good and bad bosses, worked with large and small teams, and taken on various roles and lateral moves that wouldn’t fit on my resume. I’ve worked in nearly all regions of the country and numerous subsidiaries. Each experience provided life lessons, teaching me how to navigate new situations and challenges. Every step served as preparation for what was to come.
