Reform researcher Sean Eke explains some of the key changes it is recommending to government to improve how it manages talent and poor performance

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.

Sean Eke is bang on in this - if we saw the level of concern about performance in the civil service in any private organisation, we would be shocked! And would expect its fundamental future to be in question. But these issues are sidelined in Whitehall.

🚨NEW Reform REPORT🚨

As we endure an unprecedented episode of crisis in our public services, the need for the best talent in the civil service is more acute than ever. And yet the current system fails to reward good talent while retaining poor performers.

Whitehall has a people problem

Line managers told us they feel incentivised to move poor performers around the civil service rather than out of it

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

To tackle our biggest challenges, the next govt must be focused on the ‘how’ as much as the ‘what’

This starts with having a civil service obsessed with performance & attracting the best talent 💯

Reform’s new report sets out how civil service HR can enable this 👇

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
