From Workforce Planning to Hourly Performance Management: How GEODIS Americas Turned Labor Productivity into a Growth Engine

WEBINAR

Every warehouse operation has a workforce plan. The question is how resilient it is when conditions change.

On any given day, volumes may shift. Customer priorities change. Demand profiles evolve. In a complex operating environment, variability isn’t unusual: it’s embedded in the operating model. And when labor productivity underpins service commitments, cost performance, and overall financial outcomes, even modest deviations between plan and reality can carry meaningful impact.

How do leading operations teams close the gap between strategy and real-world execution?

In this executive-level fireside chat, Brandon Wibben, VP of Workforce Planning + Productivity at GEODIS, joins Karl Koehler, COO of Easy Metrics, to discuss how high-performing operations teams manage productivity, performance, and profitability in complex, high-variability environments. Drawing from real-world operational leadership, they’ll explore how data-driven workforce planning, productivity management, and daily execution must come together to protect cost performance and deliver on fulfillment commitments.

The conversation will look at the persistent planning-versus-reality gap that defines high-volume operations – and how leaders can close it.

Attendees will gain practical insights on how to:

– Strengthen the connection between workforce planning and daily operational performance

– Optimize productivity across sites, processes, and shifts with greater precision and accountability

– Preserve cost and margin integrity as product mix, volumes, and complexity evolve

– Translate operational data into measurable financial results
