Care homes are a vital cog of the UK healthcare industry, with more than 12,250 in existence for personal care and nursing care. Even in a time of normalcy, their two biggest pain points that lead to facilities closing are falling standards, as a result of shortages in the staff, and the cost of staff increasing.
Last Thursday, Rotageek had the pleasure of presenting at the first ever CO:CUBED SixSixty Club event which saw over 100 online attendees. SixSixty is an exclusive series of events that are focused on forging partnerships between brilliant startups and corporates alike, discussing topics that are crucial to their mutual success and development.
Rotageek joined the likes of Babylon Health, KINEXON, Factorial HR, WeWork Labs & ChargedUp/CleanedUp in presenting on the topic ‘Back to Work: Preparing for the new normal’. We’ve included a link to the Co:Cubed and AWS sponsored event and would love to hear your thoughts on what your thoughts are on the new normal and how you are currently preparing?
Today, two leading technology companies have announced a new partnership designed to improve staffing across the whole of the NHS.
At some point in the near future, the high-street will reopen and shoppers, with their pent up desire to go shopping, will return. This is evidenced in China where society has slowly regained some form of normality. While we are yet to see the full extent of the long-standing effects on society, one thing is certain: Consumer behaviour has changed and businesses need to adapt.
The funding round will be used for further expansion into the global workforce management market valued at over £3bn.
Free trials of its proprietary solutions are being offered to the NHS to assist in supporting medical teams which are facing exceptionally complex scheduling.
With most businesses closed and working through the furlough of countless employees, those still open operating are working at peak capacity and we can see that people working in the retail & hospitality industries are facing an uncertain & unprecedented time in their career & need support more than ever!
We are certainly in unprecedented times, and while we have all had to make adjustments to the way we live our daily lives; staying indoors more often, working remotely from the comfort of our dining tables, sofas or sheds (like me) and practising social distancing, there are still countless critical employees in the retail and healthcare industries that are tirelessly working in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis.
Rotageek was born out of the NHS and my old A&E department back in 2006, when I was searching for better ways to make, manage and communicate rotas to team members and while we have grown over the last decade into the retail, hospitality and leisure industries, we feel our solution is vital to the healthcare industry now, more than ever. As we have been thinking about how Rotageek can offer help and support to these teams in such uncertain times; as the situation changes by the hour and as patient numbers only increase, we can see how what we do day in day out here will help to streamline processes and communication flows in teams in peak demand.
How can Rotageek help? For those teams and companies affected by COVID-19, we’re offering access to our Digital Scheduling Solution at no cost, no obligation, and no strings attached for the duration of the crisis. We have a team of passionate & smart people based around the 🌏 who spend their days thinking about scheduling and we genuinely want to help.
Currently, we are hearing from medical rota managers that they are overwhelmed with co-ordinating entirely new rotas, adding additional staff whose availability is rapidly changing and trying to keep shifts filled in the face of overwhelming demand. We can take some of this workload!
How we can help you:
We have a simple & hands-on approach to onboarding and will need minimal input from you and your team. We will have you up and running within 24 hours and be on hand for support 7 days a week.
If you'd like to know more, please do contact us immediately. If you know someone who is working extremely hard at the moment and could use some help then please do share this message! 👍
