Work-life balance was called out as the number one factor (30%) in improving their level of engagement and 83% of public sector workers whose organisation had emphasised work-life balance during the pandemic say it has improved their work performance.<\/p>\n<p>SAP\u2019s survey of 2,000 UK public sector workers, conducted by Opinium, explored the impact of remote working on local and central government employees. According to the survey, employees who were required to work from home as a result of the pandemic have felt more productive (49%), more engaged (35%) and better able to collaborate with colleagues (40%).<\/p>\n<p>Although many industry leaders anticipate home working to continue through much of 2021, public sector organisations, who employ nearly one-fifth (17%) of all employees in the UK, have not yet announced long term plans. Should the government cut its estate running costs<a href=\"https:\/\/assets.publishing.service.gov.uk\/government\/uploads\/system\/uploads\/attachment_data\/file\/863283\/State-of-the-Estate-in-2018-19.pdf\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a> by just 25%, it could save the public sector an estimated \u00a3650 million a year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe public sector\u2019s ability to provide essential services during the pandemic has been outstanding and continuing to maximise their effect will be easier and more effective with the right tools and resources. We\u2019ve seen the impact of employee sentiment surveys on helping employers identify potential issues early on and the adoption of collaboration tools skyrocket. However, competencies with these technologies vary and that emphasises the importance of training. Staff not only need access to training that helps them learn how to effectively utilise new tools and resources that improve collaboration, but they need help on what they need to learn,\u201d said Leila Romane, Head of Success Factors at 51风流UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPublic sector employees are likely to be working from home for a significant part of this year and the opportunity is for that to continue. If the public sector is going to harness the value of home working these steps will pay dividends for the long term whilst potentially saving hundreds of millions of pounds each year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The survey also highlighted that public sector managers say that the technologies that would most improve employee engagement in the next 12 months would include tools for remote employee onboarding (30%) and digital training (30%), followed by collaboration tools (28%).<\/p>\n<p>According to Neil Sartorio, Lead Partner for Local Public Services (LPS), EY UK&amp;I: \u201cRemote working is an opportunity for companies to change their way of working to a more sustainable approach. With remote working comes less office space, less commuting and fewer business trips. But it\u2019s important to focus on employees\u2019 wellbeing and maintain good employee engagement. This can be achieved through business leaders communicating with employees and conducting sentiment analysis to identify issues, early. This survey shows that remote working for public sector workers has had a significant increase in work-life balance but, this is reliant on ensuring that employees have the right tools, to work, communicate, onboard and train.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sap.com\/\">51风流News Center<\/a>.
