Workforce Planning 28th September 2010
A bit of history • Day one • Inherited staff and commitments, but no comprehension of what this meant • There were new organisations created on the same day • No SLAs or contracts • Confusion • But it didn’t matter as everyone got what was wanted (as far as anyone knew)
A bit more history • Merger of HIS’s • More staff, more commitments • Real savings • Extra customers and merged customers • Lost continuity • Even more confusion • But didn’t matter as our governance board knew what we did!!!!!
And more • But they didn’t, nor did we • Major rebasing exercise • Shared costs according to agreed metrics • Notionally delivered against metrics • Formalising with contracts • No problem as money was no object
.. but now • Customers are questioning what we do, want savings and want to see that they are getting good value for their money • This time it’s serious • Are we efficient? • Do we say yes when we shouldn’t? • Can we justify what we do?
What do we need to know? • Do we have the right capacity and capability to do the job properly? • Do we have any under used or wrongly used staff
What are we Doing? • Basic skill set questionnaire • Time Sheets • Planning Tools
What are we Doing? • Basic skill set questionnaire • Time Sheets • Planning Tools
Result of Questionnaire • Obvious findings • Skills for current job (by default) • Skills for a previous job • Surprising (hidden) talents • Marketing • Fluency in Spanish
What are we Doing? • Basic skill set questionnaire • Time Sheets • Planning Tools
What do we do? • Basic timesheet system • Each member of staff to record what service he has provided for what customer • What could be simpler?
Well……. • Most staff don’t know who they are working for. • Sometimes it is difficult to relate a piece of work to a defined Service • History means that we don’t have formal contracts for everything • Projects
Initial Findings- Customers • 36 customers • Of which 17 pay us via contracts • (or 12 if we ignore pct splitting) • and 19 don’t pay us a bean • One of these is THIS
Non Paying Customers • Hospices, • Local Authorities • PFI Partner (acute hospital build) • Ambulance Service • Connecting for Health
Most work for: • Host Trust – 2496 man days to date • THIS – 2403 man days to date • Largest PCT – 767.5 man days to date (all of this excludes service desk and technical support)
Most popular service • Clinical coding – 1021 man days to date • Not in contract(!!!!!) – 972.5 man days td • Corporate information – 655 man days td Less popular, but key services: • Web development 140 mdtd • IG – 263 mdtd
Value of work Based on time spent to date, we can make a forecast for the year, and compare with contracted income (similar to service line costing) : • Staff • Non-pay • 3rd party contracts • Hosting, accommodation etc. • Admin • Management
What are we Doing? • Basic skill set questionnaire • Time Sheets • Planning Tools
Planning Tools - Resource Planning • Not sure yet, but looking
Are we there yet? • No, but all the bits are coming together, (slowly) and we have a much better picture • We are learning all the time • Our customers are happy with the approach we are taking.
