Case Study: Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust reduces agency spend and improves retention with Stream

Increasing staff retention and reducing agency spend

Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, an NHS trust, faced challenges related to staff financial stress and operational performance. They sought to empower employees and address financial resilience, particularly the strain caused by infrequent monthly pay cycles. To meet this challenge, they turned to the vendor Stream for its financial benefits platform.

Stream provided a solution that gave staff flexible access to their earned pay, serving as an alternative to a more frequent payroll cycle. This implementation, which was completed in just one month, resulted in a measurable increase in staff retention and a reduction in agency spend, as employees were more motivated to pick up additional bank shifts. Stream's platform also helped reduce financial stress and allowed staff to avoid high-cost loans.
