It seems a particularly poor choice of workplace to try this. Care homes need to maintain certain staffing levels, 24 hours a day, so there is a hard limit to the benefits that can be gained from improved productivity.
- hanspragt 10y agoI don't think you will shake out the issues if you try it in the easiest place possible.
- ascorbic 10y agoIt's not that it's not the easiest place. It's that it's impossible. If you have a minimum required staffing level, there is no scope for savings from increased productivity. They might be able to accomplish all their tasks better in half the time, but they'd still need to pay someone else to be on site for the rest of the time.
- hanspragt 10y agoIf impossibility was a foregone conclusion, why try it in the first place? I appluad them for doing the study in this place.
- civility 10y agoYou also won't find the value if you try it in the most difficult places.
