Plan, optimise and future-proof your workforce
The Benson Community Workforce planning model give NHS providers and systems the insight to build data-driven, future-ready and sustainable workforce strategies.
Our model links historic staff capacity, service activity, caseload complexity, and team structure to local population need (current and future). The model incorporates key drivers including calculating workload for each service type, and building allowances for geography, travel time and clinical admin.
Benson will provide a live workforce model that sets required workforce now and for future years, sensitising caseloads across teams in accordance with underlying local needs and complexity. The model profiles each staff role by taking into account:
- Clinical responsibilities
- Non-clinical responsibilities
- All types of leave
- Fixed and ratio driven roles such as managers and admin staff
- Rate of attrition
Once a baseline view has been generated aligned to current workforce deployment, forecasting of future requirements is based on planned service change as well as the expected impact of new strategies, plus new digital and technological innovations.
The result is an optimised workforce model that is regulated by historic service delivery, but builds in the impact of future changes in demand and service delivery. You can explore scenarios, adjust skill mix, compare costs, and align resource to demand at both service and system level.
Whether you’re rebalancing teams, planning transformation, or justifying investment, Benson provides a robust, transparent framework for confident workforce decisions.
