Why does ZS do fractional staffing? Seems like a headache. What are the benefits?

Many of the project types we work on don't require 40 hrs/week from people. At the associate level, it's typically 1 or 2 at a time. That goes up with increased seniority. I'm a manager and currently leading 6 projects which isn't unusual.

So yeah, it keeps delivery costs down, but that's because aligning someone to a project for 40hrs when only 20hrs are needed would be a waste.

When I heard fractional staffing my immediate thought was that people are on two projects at a given time, which is not great but manageable. However, that number seems to be 3+ when I talked to current employees. That’s sounds really tough

Was thinking more so benefits for employees. Seems like a negative.
