Functional Resourcing
At DOCS, we are responding to the increasing trend towards the use of functional teams of in-sourced staff to support research programs. Our core competency is developing teams whose skills and experience are optimally aligned with your needs, be it a clinical team of Project Managers and CRAs to a tailor made team of Sales Representatives for your product launch or expansion program.
We commit to:
✔ Only assigning staff who meet your specified requirements.
✔ Never ‘switching’ employees assigned to one customer, to facilitate the needs of another.
Increasingly, our sponsors are citing the advantages of utilizing functional resourcing as part of their development strategies, including:
- Greater Flexibility:
With DOCS' functional resourcing model, teams can be assembled rapidly and assigned flexibly. Only costs for the resources pro-actively approved by our partners are incurred. This model increases efficiency by reducing team ramp-up time and avoiding the added cost of prospectively committing to rigid resource plans.
- Increased Scalability:
As workloads change and trials ramp up or down, sponsors can adapt their resource base easily and without adding to their fixed costs cost. In this way, peaks in research activity can be managed efficiently by applying resource where and when it is required utilizing an existing partnership infrastructure.
- Efficiency and Productivity:
DOCS hires experienced resourced staff, so our clients can focus on the project management of their trials. Our unique resourcing model allows objectivity, which is critical to the review of staff productivity. We quickly see performance issues, which permits seamless replacement of non-productive resourced staff. With the close management of resourced staff by our experienced Clinical Team Managers or Personal Coaches, they become a true extension of your internal teams.
