What is Allocate StaffDirect?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, when filling vacant shifts, organisations must source their temporary staff from agencies.\u00a0Allocate StaffDirect<\/a>\u00a0changes the way that organisations engage with their staff and enables them to achieve financial savings, greater control and further transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By using\u00a0Allocate StaffDirect<\/a>, organisations pay the temporary worker direct, pay the agency a \u2018finder\u2019s fee\u2019, avoid any unnecessary VAT charges and the entire process is fully automated. It enables the sourcing and direct engagement of compliant candidates to change the way temporary doctors, Allied Health Professionals and more are facilitated, saving up to 27% on agency costs. Extensive reporting allows you to see at a glance the savings generated and to identify missed opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. What\u2019s required for an agency assessment?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For any Trust who regularly uses agency staff, our complimentary agency savings assessment is a quick way to identify inefficiencies in your current outsourcing processes and provides a projected value of temporary staffing savings, simply by reviewing a handful of data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The assessment starts by collecting the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The staffing groups in which agency workers are used \u2013 this is medics, allied health professionals (AHPs) or nursing staff, as well as staff in more administrative roles, such as HR.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Total annual spend for each agency staffing group<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Total annual agency hours for each staffing group<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In addition to this, there is also some supplementary information such as current direct engagement provider and charge rate that can enhance your assessment, but this is not mandatory and will not affect the delivery of the analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. How is the information presented?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Once you have provided the relevant data, we can complete the savings assessment in as little as 24 hours. We will then organise a short follow up session where we will present the assessment findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The assessment will detail the estimated net savings opportunity and cost for our solution based on the figures provided. This provides the opportunity to learn more about\u00a0Allocate StaffDirect<\/a>\u00a0and ask as many questions as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Following the call, we share the savings assessment results and if more information is required, we can organise a follow up system demonstration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. What results can organisations expect?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    For the 55 assessments we have completed so far, all results have shown drastic savings potential, compared to current direct engagement or agency provision. We\u2019ve always been able to provide substantially improved results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
