EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY. The objective of this provision is to relate adjustments in wages and benefits in future negotiations to a corresponding increase in work productivity resulting from the collective efforts of all employees and the Company. The future of each employee and the Company as a whole is dependent upon continually improving acceptance by the public. Competitive cost is the key factor in acceptance, so it is essential that operations be conducted as efficiently as possible. Productivity is a major feature in efficient operations.

EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY. Providing value for money and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of councils is as important today as it’s ever been. Over the last eight years councils have made great strides to reduce costs whilst maintaining the quality of service delivery. The efficiency and productivity programme is designed to ensure that local government continues to be the most efficient part of the public sector and comprises a range of initiatives and support to help councils continue to improve their productivity and efficiency - including the development of common solutions or the facilitation of collaborative approaches where appropriate. More so than ever before local authorities need to look at how they now go beyond efficiency savings to how they can transform their services making use of digital and other opportunities.

Local government has a track record of working with other bodies: public sector (including central government), voluntary sector and the business community to help to transform the lives of their residents and communities for the better. It is by working together collaboratively in a place that added value can be achieved and councils are at the forefront of this way of working. The LGA welcomes the government’s recognition of local government’s partnership role as set out in the common strategic agenda outlined in the UK Digital Strategy, the Government Transformation Strategy and the National Cyber Security Strategy. These set out an ambitious agenda which impacts directly on local communities, business and public se...
