Income streaming in 3 weeks with Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust
Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust provides NHS hospital services for around 900,000 people across Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey and south Buckinghamshire. Their aim is simple – to provide the highest quality healthcare possible to their patients and they understand that staff wellbeing is central to achieving that.
The Challenges
Frimley wanted to give their staff a benefit that tied in with their existing health and wellbeing strategy by caring for financial wellbeing and preventing staff from using high-cost, short-term credit.
They had identified that there were many benefits to moving to a more regular payroll, but knew that to do so internally would involve a huge commitment and major increase to their workload.
The Solution
What the Wagestream solution offered was a way to give staff flexibility with their pay through income streaming without the time, money and commitment involved in changing payroll and paying staff more frequently.
After a survey found that staff wanted access to income streaming, Wagestream was the obvious option for the Trust and achieving their aims.
The Results
With this in mind and innovation central to their aims, Frimley wanted to launch as quickly as they could. Our tech-first solution meant that we could absolutely deliver on this and worked closely with them to do so. Frimley launched in under 4 weeks, a record time for NHS.
“If I were to say one word [about working with Wagestream], I would say ‘pace’. Implementation in just 4 weeks is unheard of for any project at scale. Implementation was smooth, no issues and if there were any issues, it was great to have an almost instant solution from Wagestream!”
