A smart move by this small care group.
📊 Whilst Business Coaching a small group of care homes I quickly noticed that profits seemed inconsistent between the homes within the group.
I strongly suspected this was due to staff cost and set about profiling and costing the staff at each homes, whilst bench-marking them against each other, AND a comparator group of independent homes.
The results were startling and showed where big savings could be made by providing a new staffing model.
👍 As a good responsible provider, enjoying a great reputation, this group were still able to maintain staffing levels that far EXCEED their comparators, as an organisational choice, whilst STILL saving over £300,000 per year.
👷 These savings could then be put back into the homes to finance refurbishment and upgrades.
Not a bad few days work, even if I do say so myself.
