Download or read book Thirtieth Report on Senior Salaries 2008 written by Great Britain. Review Body on Senior Salaries and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Senior Salaries Review Body's remit now covers certain senior managers in the National Health Service, as well as leaders in the law, the armed forces and the Civil Service. The Body detects signs that the pay of these groups is falling increasingly behind that of comparable groups in the wider public and private sectors, and that is beginning to cause problems of recruitment, retention and morale. The increases proposed are moderate, but the report stresses that it would be against the public interest in the longer term if the quality or performance of the state's senior managers and judges were to deteriorate.

Download or read book Delivering Successful IT enabled Business Change written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-11-17 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government set out its strategy to improve the delivery of public services through increased and better use of information technology (Cm. 6683, ISBN 0101668325) in November 2005, with the aim of ensuring services are designed around the needs of customers or citizens rather than the provider. Drawing on 24 case studies from the public and private sectors in the UK and overseas, this NAO report highlights examples of successful IT-enabled programmes and projects which have achieved tangible benefits for citizens and taxpayers and identifies good practice which can be transferred to new and existing government programmes and projects. It pinpoints three key issues in these success stories relating to: i) the degree of engagement by senior decision-makers; ii) the level of organisational understanding of what is needed to be an 'intelligent client' (in terms of having the necessary skills to negotiate effectively with suppliers and users); and iii) the importance of realising the benefits of change by determining at the outset what the desired benefits are and how the project will be managed to ensure these benefits are optimised.

Download or read book Review Body on Senior Salaries thirty third report on senior salaries 2011 written by Review Body on Senior Salaries and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-03-21 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 33rd report on senior salaries from the Review Body on Senior Salaries. Following the Coalition Government's announcement to tackle the budget deficit, a two-year pay freeze for all public sector workers paid more than £21,000 was put in place. This Review therefore makes no general recommendations for pay increases for the remit groups normally covered by this review, which include senior civil service, military officers and certain senior managers in the NHS. The Review Body though was already engaged in a major review of the judicial pay structure, although implementation of these recommendations for the judiciary may be affected by the overall pay freeze. The Review has set out 10 recommendations, including: that for senior officers in the armed forces the Ministry of Defence should review the performance management and pay system to define the objectives of performance-related pay and whether the existing system can be improved. The other recommendations look at the judiciary. The publication is divided into five chapters, with nine appendices

Download or read book Central government s use of consultants written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-12-15 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This NAO report sets out two definitions of consultancy: (i) where individuals and companies are engaged to work on specific projects that are outside the client's business as usual; (ii) where responsibility for the final outcome of the project largely rests with the client. Central government spent £1.8 billion on consulting in 2005-06. This report sets out a number of recommendations on the use of consultancy, including: that public bodies need to be much better at identifying where core skill gaps exist; that consultants should only be employed after an assessment of in-house skills; all public bodies should adhere to OGC (Office of Government Commerce) guidance on consultancy contracts; public bodies should explore the market for the range of approaches and contracting methods available and make more use of different payment mechanisms; public bodies also need to be smarter when it comes to understanding how consulting firms operate and provide sufficient incentive to staff to make any consultancy project a success.

Download or read book The Politics of Public Service Bargains written by Christopher Hood and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-06-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional understandings that structure the relationships between public servants and the wider political system are said to have undergone considerable change. But what are these formalized and implicit understandings? What are the key dimensions of such bargains? In what conditions do bargains rise and fall? And has there been a universal and uniform change in these bargains? The Politics of Public Service Bargains develops a distinct perspective to answer these questions. It develops a unique analytical perspective to account for diverse bargains within systems of executive government. Drawing on comparative experiences from different state traditions, this study examines ideas and contemporary developments along three key dimensions of any Public Service Bargain - reward, competency and loyalty and responsibility. The Politics of Public Service Bargains points to diverse and differentiated developments across national systems of executive government and suggests how different 'bargains' are prone to cheating by their constituent parties. This study explores the context in which managerial bargains - widely seen to be at the heart of contemporary administrative reform movements - are likely to catch on and considers how cheating is likely to destabilize such bargains.
