### **BACKGROUND AND OPPORTUNITY**
There are almost 75 million hourly workers in the United States, representing
more than half of the entire workforce. Historically, managing hourly
employees has been difficult due to high attrition (average of 60%) and high
replacement costs (average of $3,200 per employee in retail). The ongoing
labor shortage and competition from the gig economy, make it more difficult to
attract and retain hourly employees.The top reasons hourly employees leave
their jobs are a lack of schedule empowerment, poor communication with
employers, and an inability to get paid early. Gen Z and the millennial
workforce demand gig-like flexibility, modern technology, and compelling work
options.Legion’s mission is to turn hourly jobs into good jobs, serving the
hourly workers who make up the majority of the US workforce. We believe in
empowering employees and helping employers be efficient and innovative by
enabling intelligent automation powered by Legion’s Workforce Management
platform to optimize labor efficiency and enhance the employee experience
simultaneously. Legion WFM was built for the cloud with AI at the core and
designed to handle the complexity of modern businesses and meet the needs of
today’s hourly employees. Our team is comprised of dedicated individuals from
all backgrounds and experiences, globally distributed across all time
zones.For more information, visit <https://legion.co>
