About the NHS Strategic Workforce Forum
NHS Employers runs the Strategic Workforce Forum as a two-day, discussion-led event for HR directors, chief people officers and directors of workforce. This year’s programme covers strategic workforce planning, retention and flexible careers, NHS People Services transformation and acting on NHS Staff Survey results.
Why meet Totara at the forum?
Totara supports health and care organisations with one connected platform for learning, performance and engagement. It is open and configurable, so it fits around your structures, systems and partners. Come and talk to us about:
- Workforce planning: Map the skills your teams have today against future service needs, and build development plans that close the gap.
- Retention and flexible careers: Give clinical and non-clinical staff clear routes to progress and the learning to get there.
- Mandatory and statutory training: Assign, track and report on compliance, with the audit trail regulators expect.
Acting on staff feedback: Link check-ins, goals and development so you can respond to what your people tell you.People services at scale: Deliver consistent learning across trusts, systems and shared services.
