Accelerating and Automating the Productivity of Your Workforce

Increasing your utilization levels in the workforce

When you’re a sports person you really want to make sure that your body and physique is up to shape and is achieving maximum results. At the end of the day constantly improving and being the best at your sport is the main aim of the game. But if a less then favourable outcome does arise (i.e. you don’t come first in that race or lose in straight sets in a tennis match) you would want to make to focus on your weaker areas and improve them for next time. However, that’s easier said than done. It’s sometimes almost impossible to tell whether it was your lack of fitness in a certain part of your body or maybe a delay in reaction time that caused you to come second. Optimally, you would want a tool or gizmo that could analyse your weak points so you can push for further improvement.

It’s the same in the workplace

Now treat your team or department as a competing athlete. You’re constantly competing with external competitors and internal teams and departments to achieve better results. But to be the best, you want to make sure everyone is pulling in their weights worth. Achieving and then monitoring such activity is not an easy task. In a common workplace situation one resource will be under-loaded with work and have many hours to spare, while at the same time another resource can be swamped with several bookings at once.  With such a disparate spread in work levels, it’s very difficult to become the efficient vehicle that we aim to be.

Project Resource Management: The best way to get things done!

Finding your resources in one clean shot

We’ve all used yellow pages at some point in our lifetime to look for certain businesses to fulfil our needs. Let’s say you search for a plumber for fixing a leaking sink, you will find dozens of advertised companies that you could choose from. But after that, there’s very little to distinguish between them (apart from maybe choosing a more local company) with the remainder of the research having to be conducted manually i.e. calling for a quote, finding out their availability. It’s almost impossible to find out such specifically defined information in one simple search action. It would be a dream if anything like that were achieved!

It’s the same at work

Unfortunately we face similar problems at our workplace as well. If you are or have been given a role of a project manager you must have faced the difficulty of choosing the right resources for your particular project. This is very problematic if the companies hundreds of resources are located across the country. What makes it even more difficult is that by the time you find out whether the person you’ve assigned is suitable or not, it’s too late to replace them with anyone else. In that process you eventually get pigeon-holed into selecting only a select few resources that you trust, barely utilizing any of the other employees. So what’s the solution to such a conundrum? What you need, is a hyper-advanced yellow pages directory that has information of all your own company’s resources! A dynamic project resource management software that suites your requirements can do wonders to your projects.
