Private lessons ''could enhance public sector operations management''Lessons learned by private businesses during the recession could benefit public sector agencies now that they are facing substantial spending cuts.

With the government aiming to reduce the expenditure of most departments by a quarter, operations management is likely to become an increasingly important feature of the industry.

This is why the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has recommended to public sector bosses that they try to benefit from the efficiency savings that have already been implemented by their counterparts in commerce in the wake of the global downturn.

According to the organisation, it is important that employees are behind any changes that are instigated, while flexible working and engagement of staff can reduce job losses when cuts are required.

"With good communication and co-operation between public sector employers and unions, we hope to avoid the potential for industrial action," Richard Lambert, Director-General of the CBI, commented.

His remarks come after a poll for the body discovered engagement with workers was central to recovery from the recession.ADNFCR-3058-ID-19863654-ADNFCR
