St John of God Health Care seeks to simplify the employee experience by bringing its HR system to the cloud.
The not-for-profit healthcare organization operates 27 public and private health facilities across Australia and New Zealand, including 17 hospitals, disability services, mental health facilities, home care and other clinical specialties.
As part of the workforce transformation, healthcare providers will adopt Workday Human Resource Management (HCM), which will be implemented across the organization by their partner, KPMG.
Through this cloud platform, St John of God Health Care will be able to manage its workforce throughout their career cycle; forecast future skills and identify gaps; monitor and manage diversity and inclusion; and systematically engage and connect with employees and monitor their health.
WHY IT IMPORTANT
According to a press release, the implementation of Workday HCM will allow St John of God Health Care to “deploy effective recruitment, talent management and skills development strategies” for its 16,000 care workers.
This cloud platform is designed to streamline the system and provide the real-time data and insights needed to improve employee retention. “We expect to increase retention as we will deliver a better, more engaging carer proposition,” said Carla Bonev, the organization’s workforce director.
TREND TO BIGGER WOMAN
St John of God Health Care also recently launched Personify Care’s technology platform to digitally collect patient-reported outcome measures as part of Home Healthcare to reduce preventable metrics. Following the success of this rollout last year in the general surgery departments at Murdoch Hospital, the organization is expanding services to other surgical specialties such as urology, gynecology.
