The Staffing software must support operations managers, staffing managers and HR managers in the planning and management of projects. But not only that! Good software must ensure the maximum performance of teams on the missions carried out, guarantee the profitability of projects and allow employees to be engaged. In this article, Napta takes stock of these 3 objectives that should be integrated into your staffing software.
Staffing software is a A real mine of information on your collaborators. With it, you can:
Who is available? Who is particularly interested in a project? What are his skills (between the main and the transversal ones)? All of these questions can be addressed in the staffing software, speeding up decision-making. In the blink of an eye, you see who is available and competent and you quickly create the team for your mission.
But that is not all. By choosing the right skills, teams are ready to succeed in their mission. The staffing software facilitates the creation of teams, which perfectly meet all criteria. The expertise of each person brings real added value in order to meet the needs of the customer.
The possibilities for creating the best collaborations are numerous! The software brings out the best proposals between skills, availability, TJM, but also the aspirations and interests of your employees. In light of all this information, you ensure that you are making the best staffing decision, for your client as well as your employees.
Thanks to the alignment of all the data, you not only foresee the burden on your teams, but also the obsolescence of future skills. It is time to prepare for recruitment or to train internally, for a serene mission and satisfied customers.
The staffing tool is your best asset for compare all of your data at the moment : availability of employees, skills, TJM, budget, etc.
Are you looking for specific skills, but without affecting your margins? You have to be careful to respect your CJM! This person is often the main person responsible for exceeding your budget. Finding the right collaborator is one who has sufficient skills to carry out the mission and who respects the CJM requested by the client. Maximizing CJM means ensuring performance with the minimum number of resources.
Good planning means respecting the CJM, but not only that! Good planning allows you to take stock of the overall budget: what are your margins? Do you plan aside in case of a glitch? Do you have a backup solution at hand if your consultant stops the mission? Your staffing tool makes it possible to avoid slip-ups and budget overruns as much as possible.
Intercontract is THE ideal time to take advantage of your consultant's free time to train them on a particular skill. Why? Because it is becoming easier to position him on missions that interest him. What's more, adding new skills to your bow is the best argument for increasing your TJM. Your collaborator is more efficient and more profitable, for customers who call him back on a next mission.
👉 The staffing software allows you to sort it out at a glance, to take decisions more quickly (but without haste) and make fewer overall mistakes. It is a solution that guarantees profitability, because maintaining budgets is facilitated.
The staffing software engages employees in your company. This one:
Employees can express their interest in a sector of activity, a position... By taking into account their desires for their professional career, they feel listened to. It is up to HR to ensure by setting up the right training courses and for staff to guide it on the right missions.
The staffing software shows you what resources you have available. Do you notice that key skills are missing for a next mission? Training plans are THE time to ensure the retention of your employees, before turning to recruitment, which is more expensive.
You gain visibility on the commercial pipeline, on the missions, with the possibility of expressing interest in them. Staffing software makes it possible to stop blindly staffing consultants. These are chosen to attract and select the best among those in your network.
The staffing software Allows you togo further than creating project teams. Its 3 objectives, the creation of efficient teams, guaranteeing the profitability of projects and the commitment of employees, clearly demonstrate that it is a transversal solution. By filling in all the boxes, it greatly improves the individual and global performance of each collaborator.
