Cost-cutting plans to translate into job losses for Barrow hospital

The University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust has recently revealed serious cost-cutting plans, that, unfortunately, might also involve a number of jobs being lost.

According to a new report, hospital bosses have plans to save an impressive £30m by April 2014. One of the main solutions that will help them attain this goal is a very good level of workforce management, as the trust revealed that in 2011/12, each one per cent sickness absence cost around £1.17m, the current sickness level being set at 4.58 per cent.

One of the ways in which any institution, including the ones that are part of the NHS, can reduce their spending, is the installation of a Time and Attendance system, designed specifically to cut HR-related costs by automating certain specific processes.

For example, the comprehensive solutions provided by Time & Attendance – North West are capable of easily managing shifts, the number of worked hours, absences, and much more. Additionally, our extensive expertise in the field of access control solutions enables customers to get the both worlds, in a system that’s fully integrated and functioning at the highest standards.

Moreover, beside offering very competitive pricing, Time & Attendance – North West will provide thorough consulting, helping institutions make the best-informed decisions on what their needs are, as well as full training on using the systems.
