  4. Shared Services • 23 services being implemented – all that we do • Either HDC or RDC is employing authority • Staff TUPE transferred one way or the other • Not a one size fits all approach – very practical • Savings apportioned between both authorities • Business cases identify worst/central/best case • Central case savings around £3.5 million

  6. Key Objectives SAVINGS, SAVINGS, SAVINGS …and then a little bit more!!

  7. Key Stages of Implementation • Maintain service delivery during 2010/11 • Assess current service requirements • Assess future service requirements • Design new structure • Staff consultation on new structure • Create new structure – interview process • Implement new services from April 2011

  8. Key issues • Engaging officers, members and unions • Shared service support team – Finance/HR/IT/Legal • Communications • Flexibility – opportunities occur you cannot predict • Organic process – aiming point rather than route map • Managers drive success • Just get on with it..!

  9. Challenges • Culture shock • New structure: winners/losers, staff reductions but no redundancies • Staff concerns – change of location, salary protection, T&C’s, • Member concerns – sovereignty/takeover • Deliver required savings – 20% target • One service – 2 masters • 2 Licensing Committees

  10. What are the benefits to us? • Cashable savings from shared management • Cashable savings from shared services themselves • Results in protection of services/jobs • Best use of capacity/expertise • Opportunities for employees • Pooling talent/investments/greater critical mass • Raises your game and influence on other organisations

  11. What Next? • Evaluation of all projects post-elections • Second pass of business cases – more savings? • Future Collaborations Project – RIEP funding to explore opportunities for shared services across North Yorkshire & York • National policy changes affecting food hygiene? • Considering future of Pest Control

  12. …and finally…lessons learned
