Workload Allocation Model

 The Workload Allocation Model (WAM) streamlines the way we manage staff workloads. By accurately capturing and forecasting workloads, department teams can make informed decisions about resource allocation and staffing needs. At the same time, we also enable the flexibility for departments and faculties to customise their models to suit their own specific activities. The WAM system has been developed and used with the University of Sheffield over the last decade, with over 5,000 academic and research staff across the institution.
