📊 We're about to state the obvious, but Resource Utilization is a BIG Deal for Your Bottom Line! BQE recently shared some eye-opening utilization rates: 1–10 employees: 65% 11–20: 61% 21–50: 60% 51+: 67% 💡 Let’s break it down: If you're a 50-person firm billing $150/hr, improving utilization by just 10% could mean: 50 employees × $150/hr × 40 hrs/week × 49 weeks × 10% = $1.47M 💵 straight to your bottom line. Here are 3 ways to boost utilization today: 1️⃣ Upgrade Your Tools: Say goodbye to clunky spreadsheets! At the very least, invest in creating dashboards using tools like Power BI or Tableau, with clear, visual charts that make data easy to digest 📈. 2️⃣ Enforce accountability: Late or inaccurate timesheets = bad data. Create a culture where submitting on time is non-negotiable ⏳. 3️⃣ Plan ahead: Request timesheets 8 weeks in advance to keep an accurate pulse on workloads 🗓️. ➡️ What’s been your biggest challenge with improving utilization?
