“The issue of overworking and burnout is nothing new, and helping companies to overcome it is something we continue to feel passionately about at Resource Guru. That is why we commissioned this survey. It’s given us the opportunity to explore beyond the current research out there, and bring together data and subject matter experts to unpack what’s really going on. Read on to see how we’ve examined the root causes, uncovered the human and business impact, and most importantly, revealed what we can do to safeguard an organization’s people and bottom line.”
“I really empathize with these statistics because I’ve seen first-hand how unmanageable workloads and being assigned too much work can lead to burnout issues. In my experience, overworked employees are nearly always a symptom of poor scheduling. We’ve also heard stories from many Resource Guru customers about what their workloads were like before using our software, and how better resource management is now saving their teams from being overworked, as well as creating efficiencies that allow them to hire more people.”
“The right resource management tools can help businesses implement this type of framework by:
It’s so important to have the ability to plan ahead, and not just react to issues as they surface.”
“It’s thought that a utilization rate of around 70-80% is optimal, allowing a buffer for unexpected work, creative thinking, and much needed breaks.Project scheduling tools can help execute project planning steps with ease. You’ll also be able to assign the right people to projects, adjust deadlines, and factor in downtime while keeping everyone in the loop. Time tracking tools can help gather actual data which you can then compare to scheduled time to see where there could be unhealthy patterns developing. You can also use this data to shape future estimates and set more realistic deadlines.”
