REFORM
Stronger leadership with a clear sense of purpose—The
Deparment is reviewing its vision and values and internal communications
and repeating 360 degree feedback for senior staff.
Better business planning from top to bottom—The
Department is improving its business planning system, to underpin
the management of the changes described elsewhere in this Memorandum.
Sharper performance management—The Department
is reviewing its pay and appraisal systems taking account of best
practice. It is re-examing its management training programme to
ensure it meets needs at all levels. It will continue to facilitate
flexible working arrangements so that staff can strike a better
balance between work and private life.
A dramatic improvement in diversity—The
Treasury is developing an action plan to ensure that the Treasury's
staff reflects the diversity of the UK's population.
A Service more open to people and ideas, which
brings on talent—The Treasury encourages all its staff to
develop their potential to the full. It will build on its existing
record of interchange with other organisations.
A better deal for staff—the Treasury will
implement its "Career Deal" which sets out the opportunities
which it offers to all groups of staff, and which makes some new
opportunities available.
