You can't, and you shouldn't. Your "resources" (what a derogatory way to refer to people, by the way) will be more valuable, more competent, if they know more than just that what's needed for your team's direct focus.

Being able to place your own work in broader context is very powerful.

Would that I could safely direct your ire to my manager.
