(Part 2) When evaluating and embedding change
In our last workforce change blog we explored how people professionals (HR) can support you to plan and implement effective workforce change. Here we examine how people professionals support you with the transition to new ways of working and provide you with insights into what has worked, what hasn’t, and the lessons learned along the way.
(Part 1) – when planning and implementing change…
Workforce change management is the structured approach used to transition and transform teams, individuals, and the organisation from the current state of where it is now to a desired future state.
We are delighted to have been shortlisted in the HSJ Awards 2023. Peninsula Cancer Alliance and Somerset, Wiltshire, Avon and Gloucestershire Cancer Alliance together with SCW have been shortlisted in the Data-Driven Transformation award category. This award recognises NHS initiatives that harness the power of data to bring positive change in the delivery and planning of care, and where data sharing has made a real difference.
We are thrilled to have been shortlisted for the Nursing Times Workforce Summit & Awards. NHS England working with SCW has been shortlisted in the Best Use of Workplace Technology category. This award recognises an organisation that demonstrates the meaningful use of technology to improve the working environment – to give nurses and midwives more time to care.
Showcasing ideas and expertise whilst offering high-quality, innovative paid-for services has always been a balancing act when it comes to consultancy. But the current and necessary focus on productivity and efficiency requires us to do exactly that. SCW Transformation directorate’s diverse work to support primary care is offering a wide range of practical solutions to common challenges – and collaboration is key.
My 9-year-old son returned from being away on a school residential yesterday. Over dinner, he wanted to talk about artificial intelligence (AI). I have no idea what prompted this, the conversation started with “Mum, you know AI?”.
Following the recent publication of the NHS England guide to scaling people services, we've been hearing lots of conversations across system partners around how at-scale people services can be developed and optimised. Here are some of the learnings we have found as we have gone through our journey as a partner providing at-scale people services and solutions over the last ten years.
As part of SCW Spotlights, a programme of short and snappy webinar events, our people solutions team shared how we successfully scaled people solutions to support system partners across the NHS. We talked about considering the extent of ambition in initial target operating model design, supporting the varying needs of partners whilst ensuring economies of scale are optimised, when diversification can be helpful and the management of relationships and costs.
Congratulations to our ethnic minorities’ employee Network, who have worked hard towards this achievement and supported the application and evidence process. This news reflects the great collaboration across SCW and the positive impact of the Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Wellbeing team and wider People Directorate.
