Project work is inherently demanding. Tight deadlines, evolving client requirements, and the constant pressure to deliver high-quality results create a challenging environment for project staff (Pinto, Dawood & Pinto, 2014). This necessitates the effective utilization of every team member’s skills and talents, both explicit and implicit. However, the dynamic nature of project teams and the frequent formation and dissolution of project groups can lead to talent underutilization and, ultimately, staff burnout.

This is where Quinn Vietnam Manpower comes in. With our expertise in talent acquisition and management, we can help organizations in Vietnam navigate these challenges and ensure their project teams are optimized for success in 2025.

The Underutilization Problem and its Impact

The temporary nature of project teams often results in a lack of focus on talent management. Project managers, faced with tight deadlines and limited resources, may not have the time or resources to fully understand the diverse talents within their teams. This can lead to:

• Dissatisfaction and lack of fulfillment: When employees feel their skills and talents are not being utilized, they may experience a sense of dissatisfaction and lack of purpose in their work.
• Reduced productivity: Underutilized employees are less likely to be engaged and motivated, leading to decreased productivity and overall team performance.
• Increased stress and burnout: The feeling of not being able to contribute meaningfully can lead to increased stress and eventually burnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment (Gkini, Hussain, Taylor & Bewley, 2020).
