Workforce management built for central and local government

- Unify HR, scheduling and time tracking.

Complex, disconnected systems limit workforce visibility and drive up costs
Departments operate in silos
When each department manages its own workforce systems, you lose visibility and consistency across your organisation.
High absenteeism and
agency reliance
Without real-time absence tracking and planning, it’s hard to control staffing gaps, overtime or costly agency cover.
Inconsistent scheduling
and reporting
Disconnected processes make it harder to plan efficiently, stay compliant and demonstrate value for spend.
Flexible workforce management to meet local and central government requirements
One view across all departments and roles
Crown gives you a single system for tracking and managing workforce activity across every service, site and contract.
Cut costs and increase productivity
Monitor staff hours, identify underused capacity and improve alignment between roles and demand to
reduce waste.
Plan flexibly, respond faster
Create intelligent schedules in advance and adjust with ease when staff are unavailable, reassigning based on skills or cost.
Control absenteeism and reduce admin
Real-time attendance monitoring helps reduce absences while automation streamlines overtime, leave and HR processes.
Integrate seamlessly with government systems
Crown integrates with payroll, HR, finance and activity tracking tools to support joined-up working and simplified reporting.
