The public sector is facing a challenge to ensure they have enough staff to keep vital services functioning. Some 69 per cent of representatives we spoke to said they were engaging with temporary workers, showing just how vital they are for the industry.

Filling gaps in the workforce this way comes with its own issues, but +Us has a range of services to help. Securing the best talent is dependent on things running smoothly in the background and our WorkforceManager platform gives you full visibility and control of the situation.

Fill vacancies fast

The first priority is to anticipate your temporary workforce needs so you’re in control from the start. We help you publish your latest vacancies, manage the pace of recruitment and help you control how much you pay agencies through our dealings with the entire supply chain. That way you can get the best people with the right skill sets to make up your team of contingent staff.

Reduce back-office admin

We can help you manage the day-to-day processes associated with your temporary workforce needs. With a straightforward system in place, you can be sure all Proof of Right to Work in UK (PoRTW) and Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks are properly recorded. Automated processes mean nothing gets overlooked and managers are freed up for other tasks.

Simplify payroll

Employing agency staff directly through the WorkforceManager platform is the most cost-effective way to fill the gaps in your rota. Then, use the technology to track all shifts, process payslips and provide workers with a breakdown of costs for true transparency. Our in-house payroll and pension specialists make sure all transactions are compliant and easy to understand.

Utilise experience and support

Our Managed Service is not an off-the-shelf solution but a modular offering that’s tailored to meet your needs. It takes advantage of our experience in health, education and other public services, with legal and financial experts on hand to ensure compliance and value for money. The +Us approach means complexity is tackled through collaboration to break down the status quo and find better ways of working.

Make reporting transparent

Understanding how much you’re spending on temporary staff, where savings are being made and potential efficiencies for the future is vital to prevent costs spiralling. Our reporting tool gives you full visibility in these areas to allow you to make informed decisions. Managing budgets in the public sector is facilitated by a clear, up-to-date view of the situation through a centralised system.

Adopt best practice techniques

At +Us we’re always listening and innovating, translating the problems associated with a contingent workforce into more manageable solutions. Sharing best practice techniques with our clients across the UK means making public sector organisations more efficient, streamlined and cost effective. This benefits everybody – from the workers to the hirers to the service users – as we make workforces work better.
