Number 10 has a new face, a new government for Anglo-prosperity, and it’s going to get things done! It’s exciting times for the UK’s workforce, or is it?
In my last blog, I drew attention to the post-recession financial black hole and the widely touted prospects of the UK’s public sector potentially saving £25 billion, achievable apparently, largely, through outsourcing. If we allowed ourselves to believe everything we heard, is this really possible without being detrimental to the UK workforce?
Results from our recently published Q1 Outsourcing Reputation Index revealed that the UK is expecting a significant uptake in public sector outsourcing and offshoring in order to cut the public sector deficit. The research points the finger at an increasing number of UK public sector organisations, which have actually become less conservative in their actions by outsourcing; most notably when it comes to both increasing productivity and reducing bottom line deficit.
Already, we are seeing signs that this is indeed the direction we’re heading. Immediately after the election, outsourcing firm Capita Group became the biggest mover and shaker in Wednesday’s FTSE 100 rankings, rising 4.3 per cent. The company has clearly benefited from the fiscal uncertainty and ratification of the new coalition Government.
