Workforce Consultancy & ESR Self-Service

Our Workforce Consultancy delivers productivity by providing in-depth analysis of HR existing processes, focussing especially on those that are outdated, non-standard, and time-consuming or error-prone, and highlighting which can be replaced with more modern, efficient ways of working to bring about operational cost savings.

Our Workforce Consultancy can help in areas such as:

• ESR implementation that removes multiple recording and paper
• ESR Self-Service that improves staff retention, productivity and wellbeing
• ESR configuration that delivers automated processing and control of data
   

"CPFT used NHS SBS for the implementation of ESR Self-Service to provide expertise and guidance on the functionality of the system. The support they gave the Project Team has been paramount to its success. Their expertise, support and guidance has given the team the confidence to raise and escalate issues at the time and issues that arise could be actioned and dealt with quickly."

Understanding your needs

ESR is used by almost every NHS organisation in the country, but the reality is that it is not being used to anywhere near its full potential.

The reason for this is that most NHS employers only use the HR and Payroll modules and ignore other functionality, such as...

• Base Establishment Controls
• Manager Self-Service (MSS)
• Oracle Learning Management (OLM) and e-Learning
• Career Management
• Performance Management Plans

With digital technology playing an increasingly important role in ensuring a happy and efficient NHS workforce, existing solutions that are already available could help NHS organisations align with the NHS Operational Planning and Contacting Guidance for 2020/21 in driving digital priorities, such as interoperability, user experience and innovation - all part of an NHS commitment that 'digitally-enabled care will go mainstream across the NHS'.

Our team will show you how to optimise your workforce's time whether moving paper processes to online transactions, ESR Self-Service implementation, optimisation and training, or by completing a full move across to automation and robotics.
