Nittedal municipality in Norway selects Tieto Caretech for new resource management system

The municipality of Nittedal is making a strategic move to address one of the most demanding challenges in the public sector: efficient and sustainable utilization of staff.

Municipalities across the Nordics are experiencing increasing pressure on resources and competencies, while the needs of the citizens are becoming more complex. Fragmented systems and manual processes often make workforce planning and shift management time consuming, which leaves less capacity for leadership, development, and quality improvement. Several manual steps also introduce a significant risk of errors. Creating complex staff schedules in compliance with national working environment legislation and local agreements is a demanding task.

Nittedal municipality aims to address these challenges.

By choosing the resource management solution Lifecare Workforce Planne r from Tieto Caretech, the municipality is now investing in a modern solution that brings together shift planning, time and attendance registration, absence management, and workforce overview in one place. The solution is designed to support both employees and managers, providing better control, transparency, and continuity across municipal services.

The user-friendly employee and manager portal was one of the key factors behind Nittedal’s decision to select Lifecare Workforce Planner, and the portal is expected to contribute to increased efficiency and improved workflow.

The solution also ensures that staff schedules are planned in compliance with the Working Environment Act and takes employees’ preferences for shifts into account. This provides managers with strong support in safeguarding employee wellbeing, reducing strain, and increasing job satisfaction.

Overall, the solution supports the municipality’s overall strategic objectives.

“We look forward to implementing the solution and to our collaboration. For us, it is essential to have a tool that supports integrated workforce planning across municipal services. We believe we have chosen a system that meets our cross-sector needs,” says Tommy Liberg, Head of HR, Digitalisation and Organisational Development at Nittedal municipality.

For Tieto Caretech, the partnership is an important contribution to supporting health- and social care organizations in modernizing and simplifying their workforce management.

“Effective staffing planning is about giving managers better governance tools and employees greater predictability. Our ambition is to support municipalities and hospitals with solutions that make them better equipped to meet both current and future needs. Nittedal is taking an important step in that direction,” says Vera Kejr, Customer Manager at Tieto Caretech.

By implementing Lifecare Workforce Planning, Nittedal positions itself as a forward-looking municipality, demonstrating how digitalization can be used strategically to enable integrated resource planning across services, both today and in years ahead.
