East Midlands Regional Workforce Reporting Special Interest Group (SIG)
There hasn't been an East Midlands Workforce Reporting SIG for several years, but after discussions during recent HR & Self-Service SIG meetings, the Workforce Reporting SIG has been re-established.
Within the region, there are 10 Trusts who currently share specific Workforce data (Turnover, Training Compliance, Appraisal rates, Sickness) to enable data comparison and bench-marking to be completed when information is being supplied to Trust Boards.
Gathering the information is predicated on Trusts completing a round-robin spreadsheet, which in itself can present some risks, so after discussion the recreation of the Reporting SIG was agreed.
With consideration to the planned changes to ESR’ reporting capability, this prompted further discussions about how best to support ESR Workforce Reporting teams across the East Midlands.
The newly formed Workforce Reporting SIG met for the first time on 10th January and already has a packed agenda; discussing issues and sharing best practice regarding ESR Business Intelligence, discussing current Reporting requirements and the processes within ESR to enable such reporting and looking at future system developments and potential enhancements to improve the quality, reliability and accuracy of Reporting from within the ESR solution.
