“The planned savings were realised, many immediately. The engagement process has also improved relations, helping employees gain a deep understanding of business demands.

“WTS’ software and services played a key role in the success of the initiative and ensure we can continuously improve our approach to shift working.”

“Healthcare is increasingly becoming a 7-day operating environment, so it was essential that the business could provide a high level of service right through the week.

“To achieve this, we needed to invest in a powerful workforce management software solution that would bring benefits for customers, the business and employees alike.

“In WORKSuite^® we identified a specialist system that was designed from the ground up to support an optimised approach to managing Working Time.

“The system is now embedded in our operations and delivering significant gains in terms of productivity and customer service. We’re committed to continuous improvement in this area and look forward to harnessing the growing power of WORKSuite^® as it evolves over the coming years.”

“Working Time Solutions’ blend of consultancy and technology was central to achieving such significant cost savings and embedded new approaches that will benefit the business and its employees over the long-term.

“Their team is highly knowledgeable, professional and delivers quickly. It’s proved to be extremely cost-effective consultancy, unlocking growth and providing a strong return on investment.”
