those who work less return to the office. The novelty of the “report cards” – Corriere.it

Report Cards Coming To The State: Those who haven’t met goals may be forced to quit smart work. The newspaper The messenger heralds the revolution in public administration that involves more frequent evaluations of tasks performed by employees. Starting in January 2021, in fact, the controls will be tighter and those who have not worked enough will have to go back to their desk (but the salary will remain unchanged). This according to the plan drawn up by Minister Fabiana Dadone and which the unions immediately criticized: Apart from innovation, here we are in catering. Minister Dadone’s mask falls off: nothing new, old recipes like the cucco accuses the CGIL Public Service. And then he adds: Handling smart work as a reward or punishment hides the idea that there is no investment in change and digitization.

Unions

The reaction of Cgil Public FunctionThe databases do not communicate, the paper files are not digitized, the reservation services are understaffed: their arms fall to the denial of the real conditions of the pre-collapse of the PA; only the propaganda of specific interviews accuses the union. Which then explains that, from the organizational point of view, the idea of ​​using, or rather, exercising smart work as a reward or punishment hides the idea that there is no investment in change and digitization, but only a way to reissue the Brunettian Memory report cards.

Matrisciano: spreading the culture of work by objectives

The words of some trade unionists about the public administration reform carried out by Minister Dadone are astonishing, without forgetting the decision to call a strike in the middle of the second pandemic wave a few days ago, which was not exactly a success, given the adhesion of only 3% of workers. As well as some surprising considerations about the new ways of evaluating performance in the PA, on which the government is working. However, the unions must be clear that we are experiencing a change of era, which must be accompanied and governed especially in the public administration, says the senator of the 5 Star Movement. Susy matrisciano, president of the Palazzo Madama Work Commission. In my opinion, it is necessary to spread the culture of work by objectives and link it to the discipline of agile work also in the PA – he adds – without attacking the safeguards apparatus provided for the work of employees.
