Government commissioned services need to be more commercially-minded and business-focused than ever before.
Data from the Office for National Statistics shows the public-sector workforce (excluding outsourced services) is not small. It stood at 5.44 million at the end of 2019. The NHS, the education sector, central and local government, and the police service are the four largest areas – spending on these workforces total somewhere in the region of £90 billion.A guide to easing public service resourcing pressures. The coronavirus pandemic has brought an unprecedented set of challenges for public recruiters.
The public sector needs people with the right skills to cope with the significant challenges ahead. While training and continuous development are important, a large part of securing a qualified workforce is attracting people with the right qualifications and best potential in the first place. For recruiters and resourcing leaders, the big question that this raises is “How can we continue to retain and attract the talent we need to remain effective and dynamic in these challenging times?”
This guide explores key ways that best in class public sector recruiters can respond to the challenges of:
- A growing need to prove ROI in business processes (including shared services)
- Enhancing talent attraction strategies
- Maximising hiring manager engagement
- Facilitating high levels of employee mobility
- Meeting ethnicity/diversity expectations
- Supporting the next generations
Finances are more under pressure after COVID-19 than ever before. Public service providers continue to express serious concern that they will not be able to maintain high service quality under the current rate of budget cuts.
With tightened budgets and conditions, public services organisations must prove ROI in every exercise that they do. Operating under financial constraints means making sure the organisation gets maximum value from its investment.
Embedding new processes that automate recruitment and redeployment has the potential to result in millions in spending efficiencies in the long-term, especially when there are thousands of posts with manual administration processes needed to filter applications being replaced with highly sophisticated automation techniques that do not jeopardise the quality of recruits hired. The technology can also ensure compliance to policies helping organisations adapt to digital-centric models that alleviate administrative burden and deliver efficiencies without impacting policy reporting needs.
