Publications - A to Z - P
- Report by PA Consulting Group on the progress of the Civil Service change and modernisation programme, the Strategic Management Initiative, since its launch in 1994. The final report was presented to the Government and published in March 2002.
- A report to assist Departments MIF Project Teams and Performance Indicator Groups by giving examples of good practice in the civil service and public sector in Ireland, and describing some international approaches to performance indicators. The Report also repeats guidance already given to Departments/Offices in 2001 on preparation of performance indicators.
- The first Civil Service-wide Evaluation of the PMDS began in September 2003, using a framework agreed by a Sub-committee of General Council (General Council is a forum for discussion on industrial relations issues between Civil Service trade unions and management representatives). The Evaluation, which was conducted by Mercer Human Resource Consulting, focused on the experience to date with implementation of PMDS and on identifying areas where it could be further developed or improved.
- PROGRESS UNDER PARTNERSHIP 2000
- In October 1996 the Government invited a wide range of Social Partners to Dublin Castle to participate in discussions on the development of a new national Partnership to cover the next three years. In extending that invitation, Government signalled that the process of negotiation would be wider and more inclusive than heretofore. Government also signalled its desire, in common with the Social Partners, to deepen partnership, taking it from the national level to sectoral, community and enterprise level.
- This Agreement will ensure that the Irish Public Service continues its contribution to the return of economic growth and economic prosperity to Ireland, while delivering excellence in service to the Irish people. This will be done by working together to build an increasingly
integrated Public Service which is leaner and more effective, and focussed more on the needs of
the citizen.
