A recent Forbes article, What Does Covid-19 Mean For The Future Of Work?, stated that over 16 million US workers have transitioned to working from home. That is an incredible number of workers now working virtually and reminded us of the Power UP webinar we hosted a few years back on the challenges of leading virtual teams and ideas for improvement. Covid-19 has and will continue to change how we work. As resource managers, that means the resources we manage, as well as our management peers, will continue to work remotely making the need for good virtual management skills imperative.
Resource managers need detailed insights into their team’s performance to make smart, effective decisions, but there are countless potential metrics for a manager to track. While resource management solutions today can track any and all metrics that a manager wants, some of these metrics are more critical to management than others.
Managing the resources needs of the business, planning availability, and tracking utilization is so important that many companies are now investing in a Resource Management Office capability to work alongside their existing Project Management Office. The function of the RMO is to tackle the challenges related to forecasting, employee engagement, talent management, staff deployment, and more. But how do you measure the work of the RMO?
