 HCL Workforce Solutions Supports NHS Change DayHCL has added its support to the NHS Change Day 2013 initiative.
By: HCL plc HCL Director of Sales and Marketing Claire Billenness says NHS Change Day, a single day of collective action, demonstrates how small changes can have a big impact. “It’s no secret the NHS is in a drive to find efficiency savings of £20bn by 2015, and the only way we as an industry can work together to achieve these targets is by championing innovation and sharing best practice,” Ms Billenness said. “We are using our company website and social media platforms to create a buzz and urge all staff, clients and candidates to get involved in NHS Change Day as well as advertising the event on the shop floor, on our staff intranet and e-newsletter. We want to encourage people who interact with the NHS on a daily basis to become a part of this mass movement by making a pledge – this could be anything from smiling every time they pick up the phone, thinking twice before printing out that email to sharing best practice with a colleague.” She said. Pledges on the NHS Change Day website have more than doubled initial targets of 65,000 (to commemorate the 65 years the NHS has been in operation) and show no signs of slowing, currently topping 130177 and including pledges from key supporters such as Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, NHS Confederation Chief Executive Mike Farrar and National Medical Director Professor Sir Bruce Keogh amongst thousands of nurses, doctors, graduates, agencies and trusts. “HCL’s corporate values - innovation, excellence, sustainability, integrity and collaboration - sit at the heart of our business and fall in line with NHS Change Day. I encourage anyone within or in affiliation with the NHS to visit the website today and see the fantastic pledges people are making, and to contribute a pledge from themselves or on behalf of their organisation to do something better together.” Ends.
