Resource Management is often discussed through the lens of capacity, utilization, skills, and demand. But behind every staffing decision is a person with goals, energy levels, working styles, personal circumstances, and limits. That is what makes the human side of Resource Management so important - and so difficult. Resource Managers are constantly balancing what the business needs with what people can sustainably deliver. Utilization targets may clash with wellbeing. Project urgency may compete with development goals. A “perfect fit” on paper may not be the right fit when someone’s energy, motivation, or context is taken into account. So how do you make thoughtful resourcing decisions when the spreadsheet only tells part of the story? Beth Hunter and Lisa Reed will explore what it takes to bring more care, context, and trust into Resource Management - without losing sight of business outcomes. They’ll share how mature organizations handle human factors day to day, how RMs can build stronger relationships with leaders and teams, and how to navigate the trade-offs between individual needs and organizational priorities. Expect an honest, practical conversation about sustainable utilization, burnout prevention, stakeholder trust, and what it really means to see people as people - not just capacity to be filled.
Beth Hunter is a Resource Experience Management Leader at Rehmann, where she puts people first to achieve “right person, right project, right time” outcomes. She is also a founding member of the Resource Management Executive Forum and an Advisory Board Member of the Resource Management Institute. Before joining Rehmann, Beth spent more than 10 years at EY, where she provided experience management for 200+ consultants, balanced demand and supply across business needs, project preferences, working styles, and team dynamics, and led staffing conversations with Talent, Recruiting, Finance, and business leaders. Beth brings a deeply people-centered perspective to Resource Management, grounded in trust, relationship-building, and sustainable delivery.
Lisa Reed is a strategic operations and workforce planning leader with deep experience in enterprise Resource Management, operating model design, and workforce optimization. Most recently, she served as Director of Workforce Optimization at Aprio, where she led enterprise workforce planning and Resource Management for a top 25 professional services firm, designing a scalable RM framework supporting 2,000+ professionals across multiple service lines. Lisa also spent nearly 20 years at CBIZ, progressing from HR and HRIS roles into national Resource Management leadership, where she represented RM operations and systems across a large, multi-office professional services firm. She brings a practical, systems-oriented perspective to human-centered resourcing, helping leaders align capacity, demand, skills, and business priorities in complex environments.
