Onboarding and Workforce Wellbeing Programme: Transfer of 3,306 staff to New Provider
In partnership with NHS commissioners, HCRG Care Group delivered a large-scale onboarding and workforce wellbeing programme, supporting 3,306 staff across Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire, Surrey, and Leicester and Rutland to transfer into the organisation.
Building on learning from previous transfers, the initiative included an onboarding app, in-person and virtual welcome events, redesigned induction, and a flexible manager development framework. The result was smoother onboarding, reduced stress, improved morale, and stronger operational readiness – all contributing to a safe and seamless service transition for patients. The programme provides a scalable model for onboarding while protecting wellbeing and service delivery.
