FabFitFun - Proposal

LABOR CONSULTING C&W Strategic Consulting employs labor economists who are adept at helping clients identify the optimal city in which to operate. Labor strategy engagements begin with a detailed understanding of a client’s cost saving, workforce, access, and operating objectives. Using these criteria, the team screens the entire country to develop a list of viable cities. The team then analyzes viable cities in greater detail to understand labor market supply and demand, business climate, and infrastructure. Finalist locations are identified and on-the-ground analysis is conducted to validate findings and test assumptions with peer employers. C&W employs extensive spatial analytic tools such as Alteryx and Tableau as well as geographic information systems (GIS) mapping to generate special, geodemographic models which require recent, accurate, and unique geo-demographic and lifestyle segmentation data as input each time they are executed for any geography. C&W also utilizes its licensed datasets from the U.S. Census provided by Experian, as well as MOSAIC segmentation data and Moody’s Economy.com for purposes of analysis. Additionally, the resources and tools of our Research Services Group can provide additional market insight analytics and client support including market research (data on average asking rents, absorption, vacancy, construction deliveries and pipeline, etc.), market overviews and market trends.

LABOR ANALYSIS - PEER REVIEW

To quantify the labor value of the East Coast facility, C&W will quickly integrate and compare statistics provided by ManpowerGroup in each regional labor market. Using these statistics, we will evaluate and conduct a peer review to assess the depth of the modeling to date and offer recommendations accordingly.
