What are the benefits of people-first planning?

A people first approach to resource planning aims to provide individuals with more autonomy and influence over their daily work as well as longer-term career development. By considering individual motivations and preferences a people first approach can help to attract and retain valuable talent and contribute to more fulfilling careers. In addition to attracting and retaining talent, matching skills to work results in higher quality engagements and provides better visibility of skill shortages.

How can resource planning software support people-first planning?

Resource scheduling software can be used to support people-first planning as it automatically considers skills, traits, and task preferences during the resource scheduling process. Self-serve assignment functionality can also empower your teams by allowing them to select the work they’d like to be involved in, from unassigned work aligned to their grade, location and business unit. Teams can also suggest changes to their schedules, giving them more control of their careers and work-life balance.

How can professional services firms allocate work more fairly?

Resource management software can help professional services firms to allocate work fairly by automatically calculating a suitability score for each person. This helps to assist resource managers in the resource allocation process and assign work objectively. Suitability scoring works by automatically identifying the best match of available skills, knowledge, and expertise for the task. A data-driven approach to resource planning also reduces job selection bias and allows work to be distributed more effectively and fairly across the firm. Ensuring the best match of resource allocation based on skills and availability for the task every time can also positively impact retention by supporting diversity and career advancement.

How can professional services firms create optimal resource plans?

Implemented correctly, an optimal resource plan can increase efficiency, improve profit margins and positively impact client and employee satisfaction. Using resource management software firms can create optimal resource plans and find the best people for their engagements faster. Resource management software also provides firm-wide visibility of staff in one tool, allowing teams to efficiently and flexibly plan across all engagements, improving utilization and capacity planning. Automated project controls and alerts can also be used to speed up the process of resolving clashes or prevent them from happening in the first place.
