HPMA Awards 2018
Award best use of Your ESR
The ESR Programme is once again sponsoring the HPMA Awards, with a refreshed category for 2018. We will be looking for projects that demonstrate how an organisation’s effective use of ESR is supporting delivery of Workforce policy including the productivity and efficiency agenda.
The Award Criteria
The organisation should be able to clearly demonstrate how their use of ESR, in particular the new portal and improved functionality, is helping to optimise business process and streamline working practice within their organisation, ultimately supporting the need for improved productivity, efficiency and staff wellbeing.
In particular, applicants should explain how they have:
- Clearly identified the business need or objective;
- Reviewed their use of ESR and identified how they could use it more effectively, and/or use new functionality to improve productivity and efficiency;
- Ensured they were clear about their starting point – i.e. benchmarked their existing status, for the business area and/or ESR usage;
- Identified areas for improvements to staff wellbeing, using ESR as the enabler to such change;
- Ensured successful project delivery, including stakeholder engagement;
- Critically reviewed processes to reflect best practice use of ESR;
- Provided appropriate guidance on new functionality, processes etc for users;
- Measured improvements in the identified business area after implementation, including quantified benefits;
- Reviewed lessons learned and implementation tips for other trusts;
- Considered next steps for further optimising their use of ESR to support business objectives.
ESR has been on a significant journey over the last 15 months and that has led to many Organisations taking advantage of the new technology and improved user experience since we rolled out the new Portal. As a result of these changes we are seeing an increasing number of Organisations establishing ESR projects, or implementing functionality within ESR to support their strategic and business objectives. If your Organisation has been doing interesting things with ESR that link back to our award criteria for 2018 why not submit an entry? Someone has to win the award !
