This session will highlight the importance of effective rostering systems in supporting operational efficiency, workforce wellbeing, and digital transformation across VODG membership.
Join us for an insightful session dedicated to enhancing the efficiency and user experience of rostering systems among VODG members.
This meeting will showcase a series of short talks presented by members who have either trialled or successfully implemented various rostering systems in their organisations. Each speaker will share their experiences, insights, and the challenges they faced during the implementation process, as well as the benefits they observed. Additionally, we will include participants who are currently considering the adoption of a new rostering system, allowing for a comprehensive exchange of ideas and practices.
Following the presentations, there will be an open discussion and Q&A session where attendees can engage with the speakers, ask questions, and share their own experiences related to rostering solutions. This format aims to foster collaboration and support among members as they navigate the complexities of effective workforce management.
We will explore commonly used systems, compare their features, assess strengths and weaknesses, and delve into integration capabilities with platforms.
Participants will discuss cost drivers, share supplier experiences, and examine best practices for managing annual leave, sickness, and training within rostering workflows. We'll also consider opportunities for joint procurement or shared buying power across organisations.
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of effective rostering solutions and potential avenues for future collaboration.

Chief Executive, The Wilf Ward Family Trust
I began my career working in homeless hostels focused on supporting individuals with dual diagnosis. Following these roles, I worked for a district council overseeing their sheltered housing, community alarms and temporary housing services. My next role was with a specialist housing association supporting individuals with mental health and forensic mental health backgrounds, with an emphasis on developing independent living skills. After this role I worked for a disability charity and specialist housing association overseeing their social care provision, home improvement agencies, general and specialist housing and the development of accessible homes.
I began my current role, as CEO of The Wilf Ward Family Trust in 2013. The Wilf Ward Family Trust is a social care charity, based in Yorkshire that provides registered care and supported living services to individuals living with a learning disability, or profound and multiple learning disabilities. I have deep interest in what motivates the social care workforce and how we can do more to recognise the value that we receive from our colleagues across the sector. I am also attempting to complete a PhD examining the influence of institutional logics, worldview and the social contract on the workforce within the Integrated Care System.
