Kahuna Workforce Solutions, a leading skills and competency management SaaS platform, today announced the release of a joint white paper with global consulting leader, Mercer, titled “Key to Productivity and Business Agility: Leveraging Data on Frontline Workforce Skills.” This research demonstrates how validated, real-time skills data empowers organizations to plan more effectively, train with precision and maintain safer and more resilient operations.
As talent shortages and rapid market changes put pressure on organizations, the joint report provides a strategic blueprint for transforming granular skills data into measurable business outcomes for frontline teams. Highlights include:
- More than 10% Reduction in Service-Call Rework: A Fortune 1000 energy provider optimized crew assignments using gap-focused, skills-based deployment.
- 90% Decrease in Nurse Turnover: A major healthcare system implemented a data-driven job-share model to retain critical clinical talent.

- 70% Increase in Service-Level Agreement (SLA) Compliance: A leading global provider of digital commerce solutions closed critical skills gaps by upskilling its frontline workforce.
“Frontline workers are the foundation of both an organization’s profitability and resilience, yet they’ve often been overlooked in digital transformation strategies,” said Jai Shah, chief executive officer at Kahuna. “Our joint research with Mercer confirms what we see with our customers every day: organizations that capture and act on these skills insights achieve significant gains in productivity, retention and agility.”
