Staff engagement ''key to public sector efficiency''

Staff engagement ''key to public sector efficiency''In order for public sector organisations to run smoothly, employee engagement should be a priority, one expert claims.

According to the director of human resources research and consultancy at the Institute for Employment Studies (IES), budget cuts will inevitably lead to job losses and this could have an impact on staff motivation unless action is taken.

Peter Reilly was commenting after chancellor of the exchequer George Osborne announced reductions to public sector funding as part of the results of the government's Spending Review.

This may be of interest to those seeking operations training courses, as Mr Reilly said that employers should concentrate on what positive things they are offering members of staff "to make them not just want to stay because they may not have any option, but want to make them more productive and more engaged".

Mr Osborne announced that around 490,000 public sector jobs are expected to go as a result of the Spending Review, with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development suggesting that this figure might be underestimating the scale of cuts and forecasting that up to 750,000 positions will be axed.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800200388-ADNFCR
