The flexible staffing model is designed to provide the right number of trained staff when you need them, but only when you need them.   

Traditional Staffing Models are not designed to deal with fluctuating occupancy levels.  If your housekeeping  manager staffs up sufficiently to cover higher occupancy periods, then you are faced with excessive staff when occupancy is lower...with all the costs and issues that go with it.  Staffing for lower occupancy and using temps to fill in can supply the bodies you need, but with inexperienced people who do not understand the expectations of vacation ownership guests.

A Flexible Staffing Model provides the ability to staff based on need and links your housekeeping costs to occupancy.  You only pay for the staff that is needed.  The greater efficiency of the flexible staffing model can bring significant cost savings to the resort.

Note: To be effective, a flexible staffing model requires an accurate forecasting program for maintaining a flexible staff level that matches occupancy levels.
