We are counting down the days until this conference ⏰ - so many expert speakers joining us to discuss AI and productivity 👏👏

48hrs after we launched our report! 🤩

The thing that matters the most is how many civil servants have reached out to say it reflects their experience. “Spot on” one told us yesterday. There is SUCH a groundswell of support for change 📈

We're hiring a research assistant for @moreincommon_ UK working closely with me: preparing research & media briefings, creating data viz & helping draft Op-Eds & speeches. Perfect for someone starting out in a research career. If interested give me a shout moreincommon.org.uk/about-us/jobs/…

📻 Our Director spoke to John Pienaar Times Radio about our new report on Whitehall performance management

'It's avoidance. It's a system that doesn't want to get to grips with poor performance'

Here's how to fix that: reform.uk/publications/m…

Very grateful to Matt Honeycombe-Foster for a brilliant summary or our new (63-page) report in the ever excellent Politico London Influence newsletter

Particularly pleased to see the 'get more talent in & up' recommendations highlighted 🤩

5/ We’re calling for a radical overhaul of how civil service HR systems work, so Whitehall can have a high-performing culture which matches the public’s expectations. These should be treated as exceptional jobs: high-stakes, high-status and highly competitive. Not jobs for life

How do civil servants rate talent and performance management within government? Check out the full results from our survey with Reform

Another deeply worrying result from our Reform/Civil Service World survey

62% of respondents say they are aware of disciplinary issues which have not been dealt with

Seriously, the proportion of people in each of Cabinet Office's performance rating groupings... 🤯

Jaw-dropping results from our joint survey with Civil Service World

Now this is a nice report from the Reform.

Interesting recommendations around mid career fast stream and developing the workforce from outside CS.

Need to read in more detail; but this is a big old piece of work on an issue that rings true from my time at the centre.

In case you missed it, today we've launched 'Making the grade'.

Setting out recommendations to overhaul the way performance and talent are managed in Whitehall.

Perfect for a post-lunch read 🍽️

2 results from our survey are particularly shocking- & should be reverberating around Whitehall

😱 66% of line managers agree they are incentivised to move people around Whitehall rather than out

😱 & just 7% think the civil service manages poor performance well

Damning.

'As every high-performing organisation knows, talent is the magic ingredient of success'

Sean Eke summarises our new paper on Whitehall talent & performance management

civilserviceworld.com/professions/ar…

Talent is the key ingredient in an organisation's performance

Whitehall is no exception

Yet less than a third of civil servants responding to our survey with Civil Service World think talent rises to the top

reform.uk/publications/m…

We partnered with our friends over at Civil Service World to see what current civil servants think about Whitehall's approach to talent & performance management

😬 Just *29%* think 'the civil service takes talent and performance management seriously'

Delighted to have our new paper covered in The Times and The Sunday Times this morning

High performing organisations prioritise talent & performance management.

Right now Whitehall is failing to attract talent, failing to make the most of the talent it has & failing to deal with poor performers

🚨 NEW REPORT 🚨

Today we've published the latest paper in our 'Reimagining Whitehall' series

'Making the grade' calls for a radical overhaul of performance processes

Backed by new FOI data & an exclusive survey with Civil Service World

👀 It's another one-more-sleep before publication day at Reform Towers 👀
