Skills Management and rostering

In a world where regulations are constantly changing and new laws enter into effect on an annual basis, it's crucial that companies have strategies in place for Skills Management, ensuring they're hiring the right staff with applicable skills. This not only helps to keep customers happy but also ensures company compliance with industry standards- which can help boost profitability!

Getting the right staff with the right skills to care for patients, operate machinery, or provide customer support all of the time is not something that can be mandated or easily managed. Regular changes in compliance and legislation mean that companies need to be ever more aware of making sure they have the right people, with the right skills and qualifications in the right place at the right time. This has been shown to not only tick the compliance boxes but also improve customer service and customer satisfaction.

The Nextra Solution provides all the tools required for Skills Management to ensure that every generated rota is compliant by providing a flexible mix of both formal and organisational informal skills and qualifications. This allows organisations to group necessary skills together and assign the required skills to job roles. When any shift is then applied, or Rota published, the Nextra solution runs all the necessary checks in the background to ensure not only skills-based compliance but also Working Time and Local Agreements are satisfied.

Understanding the skills of your workforce is key and with Nextra we can show you the skills you have as well as the skills you need and provide full visibility of skills expiring, shortfalls are all visible in the rostering module and alerts in place to make sure that retraining can be booked, and skills updated to prevent disruption to the workforce or provision of sub-standard services.

Business needs can change in the blink of an eye. To meet them, it’s critical to have a skills-based strategy in place. With Nextra our workforce management system automatically identifies employee availability, expected attendance and relevant skills. We get the right people in the right places at the right time every time and help you save on overtime and temporary staff costs.
