People Planning is a unique digital solution that increases the capacity of NHS HR teams by engaging your managers to rapidly obtain key people data you need but don’t currently have, to streamline workforce planning processes and drive recruitment and retention strategies.

For every 100 line managers, a 20-minute chat to understand what is going on in their world would take 125 hours to do manually – and require an army of HR people.
