The IWF in use
What can the Integrated Workforce Framework (IWF) be used for?
It is anticipated that application of the IWF will be at personal, management and organisational levels, including:
Personal Review and Development Plans
Job Descriptions
Recruitment
Indicative Learning and Development Resources
Team Management
Career Planning
Planning the future workforce
What difference will the Integrated Workforce Framework (IWF) make?
We envisage that the IWF will help with:
Recognition of the whole research workforce
Consistent description of a diverse workforce
Promotion of careers in Research, as roles can be better described
Successful recruitment, as it is easier to match an individual to a role
Meaningful Personal Reviews as well as Learning and Development plans
We envisage that an individual will be enabled to:
identify an entry into a Research Role in the NHS
map their career progress and identify opportunities for skill development and movement
The IWF will support the whole workforce to meet emerging research priorities and deliver quality of care. Ultimately the IWF will benefit patients who will be cared for by clinical research teams with the right skill mix. We want to provide the public with the assurance that the diverse research workforce is fit for purpose.
