Work Programme Work Programme is not the same as New Deal or any other programme that we have delivered in the past. It requires different thinking, different approaches but above all it will require superior performance in all respects
S1 – Staffing Challenges • Highly complex situation • Existing staff running legacy contracts • Different views and approaches to TUPE • Speculation / uncertainty / demotivation
S1 – Responses • Adaptable Action Plan / Timetable • Get the facts • Communicate (All Players) • Fair and equitable • Assessment Centres
S2 – Stakeholder Challenges • More involvement • All offering own advice, help, support • All with own agendas • Resource constraints • Own timetables • Small politics and localism
S2 – Responses • Need to engage • Transparent communication • Streamlined engagement • Mutual value adding • Long term relationships • Decentralised relationships
S3- Supply Chain Challenges • Larger Supply Chains • Traditional thinking / behaviours • Significance of Due Diligence • Data Security • Implementing to Merlin Standards
S3 – Responses • Constructive pressure • Open / honest communication • Proactive supply chain management • Initial training, support, capacity building
Observations Key themes: Engagement Communication Adaptable Plans
Discussion • TUPE – friend or foe? • Strategic stakeholders – roles and responsibilities? • Supply chain - a real culture change? • What have others (providers, sub-contractors, strategic stakeholders) learnt during the implementation?
