We’re delighted to announce that Holmes Care Group, an award-winning family-run care provider operating across 23 locations in England and Scotland, has chosen Allocate Optima to modernise its workforce management and support its mission of delivering high-quality care.
Holmes Care Group are currently using spreadsheets to manage their 1800 employee workforce, which is often causing laborious, unfair and often retrospective rosters. This manual process was also having significant issue on their agency spend through lack of visibility on the roster.
Why Allocate Optima?
Holmes Care Group sought an advanced solution to address key operational challenges, and chose Allocate Optima to support their workforce management processes.
- Smart, Compliant Scheduling
Say goodbye to labor-intensive rosters! With Allocate Optima, Holmes Care Group will automate roster creation, ensuring fairness and compliance with staffing regulations.
- Real-Time Visibility
Before, managing day-to-day operations relied heavily on emails, phone calls, and working in silos. With Allocate Optima, the team will have access to live dashboards that provide complete visibility into who’s working, where, and when.
- Cost Control & Reduced Agency Spend
Due to the lack of visibility, the Holmes Care Group faced overspending but lacked insight into the causes. With Allocate Optima, they will be able to optimise substantive staffing, reduce reliance on costly agency workers, and unlock cost-saving opportunities.
- Improved Staff Engagement
With the innovative employee app Loop, staff can easily view and manage shifts, providing greater flexibility and boosting satisfaction and retention.
- Seamless Integration
Allocate Optima will integrate with Holmes Care Group’s HR, payroll, and time/attendance systems, replacing error-prone spreadsheets and manual processes with end-to-end workforce optimisation.
A New Chapter for Holmes Care Group
Jonny Newsham, Head of Independent Health and Social Care at RLDatix, shared his excitement about this partnership:
“We’re thrilled to support Holmes Care Group in modernising their workforce management. Allocate Optima will help ensure the team are able to roster the right people in the right place at the right time to deliver exceptional care, drive down their workforce, overspend and have real-time visibility of their rosters and workforce at any time.”
This partnership will enable Holmes Care Group to streamline workforce operations, improve compliance, and ultimately enhance the lives of its residents and staff alike.
Welcome to the Allocate family, Holmes Care Group! We’re excited to work together to achieve smarter, safer staffing.
