How Local Government organisations can improve Citizen engagement and reduce cost by embracing new technology
The environment in which local authorities operate is complex, but the services that they provide are often essential and during the pandemic have been needed more than ever. The pressure on the provision of local services has never been greater, driven by the need to respond to the recent crisis, rising public expectations and a reduction in central government funding. The pandemic has heavily impacted the local government sector. Local Authorities have been forced to move to a flexible working model during the worst pandemic months and have embraced new technology to allow employees to work from home. There has also been a significant increase in interest with regards to improving citizen engagement via digital service delivery, using innovative and emerging technologies. Innovation has an important part to play in creating a more mobile and flexible workforce to drive greater productivity and a better service experience. |
