A new \u201cvirus\u201d is going around, and it\u2019s highly contagious. \u201cQuitagion<\/a>,\u201d as the New York Times recently termed it, persuades employees to quit their jobs because they see co-workers making a choice to live better\u2014higher pay, nicer benefits, a sense of workplace belonging, and work-life balance.<\/p>\n

The good news is that as an employer and a project manager, you can \u2018vaccinate\u2019 your company against Quitagion by using resource management<\/a> techniques.<\/p>\n

Resource management techniques keep your projects on track<\/a> and give your employees the work-life balance they crave. In fact, if you use resource management techniques skillfully, you\u2019ll achieve project success<\/a> and not just work-life balance, but work-life harmon<\/i>y.<\/p>\n

Resource management leads to higher productivity and balanced workloads<\/b><\/h3>\n

Resource management techniques help you assign employees to projects in ways that empower them to do quality work on time.<\/p>\n

When employees are successful at work, they feel energized and confident about tackling the next task\u200c. Mental well-being leads to stronger workplace relationships too. Research from Gallup<\/a> states that employees who have a best friend at work are twice as likely to be engaged at work. This energy from engagement and job satisfaction often spills over into employees\u2019 personal lives, where they have the space for other commitments and pursuits.<\/p>\n

The result: <\/b>Happier employees and thriving businesses.<\/p>\n

At Resource Guru, we believe that people do their best work when they are not rushed, so overallocation should be a last resort, not an everyday practice. Employees aren\u2019t machines; they need the time and space to focus, innovate, and enjoy their work. So even though we named ourselves Resource Guru, we have never thought of people as inanimate \u201cresources.\u201d We believe the companies that thrive do so because they deal with people in all their humanness.<\/p>\n

As Harvard Business Review<\/a> points out, \u201cThe best teams aren\u2019t more effective because they work all the time.\u201d The best teams do things differently: they have time to connect over non-work topics, offer praise and feedback, and get to know co-workers in a more authentic way.<\/p>\n

Resource management techniques can help you plan and gain visibility to keep your teams from working all the time<\/i><\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n
