Making the Most of Non-Billable Hours

Being on the Bench means you currently don't have billable client work. This is a normal part of our business model and presents a valuable opportunity for both personal and company growth. As Stephen Covey teaches in "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", this is your chance to "Sharpen the Saw" - investing in self-improvement and long-term value creation.
