Have the right people with the right skills at the right time. 

Workforce “mismatch costs” occur when skills, roles, location, or timing don’t align with demand.

‍Common mismatch costs might include: 

• Overtime and premium contractor spend to plug avoidable gaps 
• Longer time to fill and extended ramp times from hard-to-find external hires 
• Project delays and missed commitments (lost revenue/opportunity cost) 
• Higher voluntary attrition from role/skill misalignment (and backfill costs)
