Briefing / E-rostering

Controlling workforce costs – and particularly temporary staff costs – is fundamental in containing overall costs and maximising value for money. What has changed is the technology and support available to managers in drawing up effective and cost efficient rosters.

Increasingly, NHS bodies are seeing e-rostering packages as the solution – providing better rosters, reducing reliance on expensive temporary staffing resources and consuming far less management time. In this briefing we examine the case for e-rostering and focus on a number of trusts that have already seen benefits from the introduction of dedicated rostering systems.
