"Over the past two years, we have utilized the advice and services of Workforce Edge on a number of workforce and staff scheduling related initiatives, and feel that their assistance has helped our organization take significant steps forward.
The success that we have recently experienced has proven that Workforce Edge’s methodologies are both scalable and flexible. The outcomes include new business processes that have been approved for organization-wide implementation, and equally importantly, staff from across VCH have expressed their appreciation at being involved in the design process—a great momentum for change has been achieved."

"Using their “Rostering Discovery” methodology, Workforce Edge was able to gather data from our managers and our payroll system in a relatively short time and paint a clear picture for the Royal Children’s Nursing Leadership Team and the Executive of the hospital. We were able to clearly see the issues at hand, their impacts and a way forward to address the issues and improve our rostering practices.
As a result, at the conclusion of the Rostering Discovery, understanding and commitment had been built at all levels, up to and including the CEO, about the importance of improving rostering practices, as well as the organizational commitment that would be required to achieve sustainable change."

"Our new approach to staff scheduling has been live for a year now, and because of the strong internal ownership built through Workforce Edge’s participatory techniques, it has been extremely well sustained and continues to evolve and improve as staff identify further areas for improvement. Everyone on our management team agrees that CRISP has been a major contributor to significant gains we have made in that time in recruitment and retention, sick and overtime reductions, and improvement in our call response times.
With Workforce Edge’s assistance, we also developed a Balanced Scorecard to measure our performance on a series of key performance indications. Not only does our scorecard tell us how we have performed in past periods, it contains predictive indicators to help us identify issues before they impact our service quality."

The implementation planning and agency engagement processes led by you and your team have been invaluable in mobilizing our organization and creating an environment conducive to organizational change. I believe we are well-positioned to implement the selected system.
The collaborative methodology that Workforce Edge has developed for designing staff scheduling and timekeeping processes was extremely well received by our agencies and I continue to receive positive feedback.

"In the consulting work for Queensland Health, Workforce Edge was able to quickly assess the current state and summarize it for me concisely, while working simultaneously at different levels and with various people on our project team to help them develop a clear understanding of the current state and impacts.
As a result, the project team’s awareness level was increased in many ways and they began actively developing operational plans to progress the recommendations before the final report was even complete."
