Interim NHS People Plan
System Optimisation
ESR exclusively offers the provision of an integrated hire to retire workforce management solution developed by the NHS for the NHS.
By fully utilising ESR as an integrated system, your organisation can realise greater benefits. In order to achieve this, your individual departments must work collaboratively to maximise business process efficiencies.
This section outlines how you can utilise other areas of ESR functionality which supports the organisation in providing a skilled workforce by developing a greater overall ESR solution.
-
+ Effective Recruitment
- Perform the transfer of personal, employment, and training data through Pre-Hire IAT. In turn, this reduces duplication of manual data input and/or pre-employment checks and training.
- Reduce on boarding process and induction training to release staff early to their workplace.
- Record of qualifications and professional registrations to assist in providing a talent profile.
-
+ Workforce Planning
- Use Establishment Control in ESR to effectively manage your hierarchy.

- Improve your data quality by empowering your workforce to manage their own data.
- Take advantage of ESR as an integrated system by using multiple modules to gain the incremental benefits of a holistic solution.

-
+ Financial Controls

With OLM and competencies being managed in ESR, the data will flow easily and with minimal manual intervention.
