RosterPro Delivers on NHS National Staff Working Practices

The Health Commission has released analysis of over 200,000 questionnaires from 570 NHS organisations covering a range of HR-related issues.

The Commission states that “Work-life balance is an important consideration for any workforce. Good work-life balance is associated with staff well being, low absenteeism and high retention”. Also highlighted, “ Flexible working is an important feature for employers, as it can lead to better staff recruitment and retention.”

However the Commission also state that progress towards targets is slow. Between the 2003 survey and the 2004 results, “There has not been any clear change in staff views about their employers' attitudes towards work-life balance, or the range of flexible working options on offer to them.”

RosterPro addresses both Work Life Balance and Flexible Working staff issues, demonstrating how the introduction of staff management solutions, like RosterPro, is critical to the delivery of these national policy objectives at a local level.
