We work alongside organisations to develop an integrated workforce that addresses a range of people-related challenges and delivers new ways of working.
The NHS workforce is under huge strain, dealing with routine health appointments and the significant increase in the backlog caused by COVID-19. Wider economic conditions in the United Kingdom mean that public sector pay is unlikely to rise with inflation. Many employees feel drained having worked throughout the pandemic, often in dangerous working conditions. We're uniquely positioned to work with you to develop an integrated workforce that addresses these key customer challenges and delivers new ways of working, focusing on collaboration and place-based delivery.
How we can help you
We understand that you are facing a vast range of people-related challenges, and it’s fundamental these are tackled as part of your long-term approach to meeting future requirements.
Workforce strategy and planning at a system level
Developing a sustainable, integrated workforce through place-based workforce planning that can deliver on your ICS objectives. This may include increased resilience, maximising opportunities to improve equality, diversity and inclusion and meeting the needs of the local population, to improve health outcomes.
Skills shortage and temporary staff spend
There is a shortage of specialised skillsets required to deliver effective clinical treatment, leading Trusts to over-rely on temporary staff to plug the gaps. This coupled with the already challenged staffing levels is driving a financially unsustainable reliance on a temporary workforce.
Staff retention and morale
The impact of COVID-19 on the workforce along with general workforce shortages across the NHS and social care has caused increased pressure on staff and led to higher attrition rates and more health and wellbeing concerns. There is a need to support people to feel empowered and more fulfilled in their roles.
Data, digital and innovation
Staff and the future workforce need to be supported to bring together teams and organisational cultures and behaviours to work together in new ways, utilise digital tools, understand and act on the data generated in an informed manner, and utilise new technology to deliver differently.
