Case Study: Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust strengthens values-based recruitment with NHS Employers

Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust - Customer Case Study

The Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust faced challenges in unifying its workforce and improving overall effectiveness following a major site consolidation and during financially difficult times. To address this, the trust partnered with NHS Employers to embed a new set of organizational values and a supporting behavioural framework across the entire employee lifecycle, starting with recruitment.

NHS Employers supported the trust in developing and implementing a comprehensive values-based recruitment solution. This involved creating a staff-driven behavioural framework that was integrated into all job advertisements, candidate interviews, and employment contracts. The solution also included training for hiring managers. As a result, the trust established a clear, consistent standard for behaviour, providing managers with the tools to uphold these standards and creating a system for recognizing staff who demonstrated the positive values.
