Public sector ''suffering from low morale''Individuals concerned with continuous improvement within the public sector may wish to focus on improving staff morale.

This is after a study by Badenoch and Clark found that over half of the central and local government staff members they questioned would not be willing to recommend working for such employers.

According to the recruitment firm, as workers in the public sector face job cuts with government austerity measures, one in five are suffering from a lack of motivation in their current role.

Operations management plans could suffer from falling morale within government and council roles, with Badenoch & Clark managing director Nicola Linkleter stating: "This is a problem that must be tackled imminently, or the future of the talent pipeline for some public sector employers could be at risk of stagnating."

In related news, as part of continuous improvement within the public sector, the Local Government Association has revealed it is looking for 15 local councils to participate in the Adult Social Care Efficiency programme 2011-12.ADNFCR-3058-ID-801082824-ADNFCR
