Public administrations frequently lament both the size and the inertia of their workforce in the face of the challenges and the growth and development objectives they must meet. AUDICO regards the people in any organisation as the engine that carries strategies, programmes and plans into effect. We therefore advise and support public administration bodies in managing their workforce effectively and efficiently, across the following:
support in drafting terms of reference for highly technical posts, so that recruitment is of good quality;
performance appraisal, to confirm that staff are effective and efficient against the constraints and challenges to be met;
assessment and comparison of internal practice against the standards in force — employment law, collective agreements and other accords — so as to maintain the standard and, above all, to guarantee the quality of the public services offered to users;
advance review of the social consequences of any new situation you are about to face: directorates or services to be created, internal reorganisation, external growth and so on;
review of compliance with internal standards and practices and with the generally accepted standards of workforce management. This means verifying that what has been provided for is actually put into practice, in particular across the following processes: recruitment, skills management, pay, workplace safety, training and retraining, leave, appraisal and profit-sharing, and others;
review of the match between the staff recruited and in post and the staff drawing on the public administration’s budget, in order to limit and curb the ghost salaries so often lamented in these administrations;
analysis and understanding of particular exceptional situations so that the necessary corrections can be made — resignations, a deteriorating workplace climate, conflict, stress and the like.
In any matter touching the management of people, our experts give you the material for decision-making: analysis grounded in fact, verification of the data, and recommendations that combine your organisation’s own culture, its structure, and generally accepted good practice.
