City & County Healthcare Group (CCH Group) has rolled out the Staffbase employment app to 14,000 people at its 220 sites.

CCH Group said the move was part of its strategy to connect the company, recognise employees and elevate the role of care workers.

Gary Fee, chief executive of CCH Group, said: “We are on a mission to create a culture of excellence and become the best place to work in care. We can only achieve this by listening to our people and encouraging participation in the decisions we make. Giving our employees a voice is a vital part of making them feel valued for their skills and dedication.”

The Staffbase app will allow CCH to create a community where all employees can interact via smartphones or other mobile devices, wherever they may be. As well as keeping employees informed and providing information on what matters most to them, the app has several interactive tools to provide quick access to important documents, encourage feedback, share stories and celebrate employee success.

Staffbase chief people officer, Neil Morrison, said: “It has been inspiring to work with an organisation that values inclusion, respect, and recognition among their workforces. The healthcare industry presents its own unique challenges in terms of recruiting, retaining and motivating employees. An employee app from Staffbase is particularly well suited to this environment as employees are rarely office-based and often working alone. We have been impressed with the commitment that CCH managers have shown to inspire their staff to deliver the best possible care service.”

CCH group is a family of 32 operating companies spread across the UK delivering a range of services, including: home care, supported living, live-in care and complex care.
