Carillion Health improves employee management

Carillion’s aim is to make optimum use of its resources, in order to match the demands for its services with the ever increasing pressure on margins. These services include the managing of all of its non-medical support services such as catering, cleaning and estates management. The company has been responsible both for the construction of the hospital buildings and the subsequent delivery of facilities management services to a number of hospitals around the UK, including the Great Western Hospital at Swindon, the John Radcliffe NHS at Oxford and the Queen Alexandra NHS at Portsmouth.

“As part of our approach to these services and as part of our commitment to providing better quality internal administrative processes, Carillion has undertaken to implement a fully integrated Workforce Scheduling, Activity Management, and Time and Attendance solution, linked to Oracle HR, Payroll and, where appropriate, Oracle Financials,” explained Carillion’s Project Manager, Neil Davies.

“Our objective is to improve our resourcing and scheduling to ensure we have the right number of people in the right job at the right time. Subsequently, we aim to reduce the administrative effort of paying people in a more accurate and timely way. In this way, we can properly plan our service levels while controlling operational costs.”
