Supporting the NHS People Plan - ESR Hub

The NHS People Plan sets out actions to support transformation across the whole NHS, focusing on how we must all continue to look after each other and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, as well as action to grow our workforce, train our people, and work together differently to deliver patient care. The principles underpinning the action through 2020/21 must endure beyond that time.

Following on from the NHS People Plan, the Future of NHS Human Resources and Organisational Development report outlines a vision and actions that support the delivery of the four pillars within the NHS People Plan and embeds the seven elements of the People Promise.

Both the NHS People Plan and the Future of NHS Human Resources and Organisational Development report reinforce that the NHS needs to embrace new ways of working which is supported by technology and ensures that NHS organisations have a strong focus on looking after their people.

The Electronic Staff Record (ESR) is the national workforce solution for the NHS and its functionality and data can enable organisations to meet the objectives of the NHS People Plan and support the delivery of the Future of NHS Human Resources and Organisational Development report.

The information opposite sets out how the ESR solution can support Chief People Officers and their teams to meet some of the workforce elements in the Future of NHS Human Resources and Organisational Development report, and release greater benefits across the organisation and its workforce.

Our regional teams of ESR experts can support Chief People Officers and their teams to develop a strategy and action plan that will help them to meet the recommended actions in order to deliver some of the workforce elements of the NHS People Plan and the Future of NHS Human Resources and Organisational Development report, using ESR and its data.
