Public Health England (PHE) has adopted a new workforce management system to support their operation as they rapidly scale up their teams in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Staff-management firm Deputy’s app-based technology aims to relieve managers of the scheduling and administration burden of managing healthcare workers. It quickly generates rotas based on staff availability, qualifications and roles.

Managers use a dashboard for a complete overview of their workforce, while employees can download an easy-to-use app on their phone which gives them greater control over their shifts and availability for overtime.

The system also incorporates Deputy’s new touchless clock-in, which has been designed in response to the global pandemic. It uses facial recognition and voice commands to enable employees to clock in and out of work, as well as start and end breaks, without touching a screen.
