Workforce Consultancy & ESR Self Service
Our Workforce Consultancy delivers valuable efficiencies throughout NHS workforces, delivering improved productivity through the control of new or existing processes. We conduct in-depth analysis of existing processes, focussing especially on those that are outdated, non-standard, and time-consuming or error-prone, highlighting which can be replaced with more modern, efficient ways of working to bring about operational cost savings.
- Our expert guidance on ESR configuration delivers automated processing and control of data
- ESR implementation removes the need for multiple recording and paper, allowing improved and timelier workforce information
- ESR Self-service Improves staff retention, productivity and wellbeing, allowing employees to focus on more important tasks like supporting frontline care.

ESR SELF-SERVICE
