EFFICIENT WORK POLICY
Summary and Aims of our policy.
​
How often do you hear that the British people have an abundance of wealth, and plenty of money for public services? For this to happen we have to understand how to be efficient. When each and everyone of us goes to work each day, it is essential that we all work efficiently, so that our economy delivers the wealth we need to support our life, and provide the tax revenue for the public services we all need. Furthermore efficiency is equally beneficial in our home and private lives, where we also have much work to complete. Efficiency is crucial for a prosperous, well funded, country.
We understand people work hard, and make great effort to work as efficiently as possible, our policies are aimed at taking this much further and equipping all people with a deep understanding of how to work more efficiently, rather than working harder. Indeed our goal is to Double GDP per capita, while at the same time greatly reducing work stress, see our Economic & Business Policy for a full explanation of this. Acquiring this knowledge involves a fundamental change in the working consciousness of everyone of us, and requires us to have the bravery to be open minded to new ways of working. Even though there is a universal need for the knowledge of how to be efficient, and there is a science for it, our education system is almost completely lacking in this essential subject; schools, universities, institutions, and government, provide little or no education on the subject.
​
Why do we fail to provide this basic education we need for the well being of our country? Knowledge is power, and Everyone is God seeks to fully empower everyone, with education that starts with parents, and continues throughout all adult life.
​
Our Policy - How it resolves the issues and achieves the aims.
​
Education starts with parents, and there are endless opportunities to educate children in efficiency. For example, it may sound trivial, but when parents unpack the dishwasher with their young child there is a wealth of opportunity to begin fostering a deep understanding of efficiency. Parents have the opportunity to stack all the plates in a pile above the dishwasher, then carry the entire pile over to cupboard where they are stored, because this is the more efficient and quicker way of carrying out the task. The parent explains this to the child, and shows them how it is slower carrying the plates one by one, this is the beginning of the child's education in efficiency, through it's own experience. This is a very powerful process as experience in childhood coupled with explanation, builds deep and lasting functional habits and behaviour, this is where our policy starts, at home with the parents. Parents would have been fully educated in complexity of efficiency along with all other areas of life, throughout all of their schooling and parenting education, so they are fully capable of educating their children. The child's education will continue right through parenting, school, and then through open source education as adults. When anyone enters the workforce at any age, even if it is their first job, they will be fully trained in efficiency (and all general areas of work and business), without businesses having to do anything. Businesses and institutions will always inherit a highly trained workforce, they can then provide any specific training required for the job being carried out, usually on some type of short or longer term apprenticeship, or training course, (and this will be fully supported the full suite of open source education resources).
​
A full training in efficiency takes years, so it is impractical to outline all of this here. However what we can say is that when efficiency is technically analysed, it is very much about understanding the common types of inefficiencies that regularly occur in industry and personal life, and then working out how to avoid or reduce them. The main areas of inefficiency in the workplace are listed below, and our curriculum will provide simple education on how to reduce all of them, along with everything else that is required for a full understanding of efficiency.
​

Lack of passion for work.

Lack of understanding of value adding, and waste.

Inefficient working methodology or processes.
-

-
Inefficiently arranged working spaces.
-
Multiplication and overcomplication.
-
Excessive stock.
-
Redundant equipment, and untidiness.

​
The effect of this policy would be to bring about a fundamental change in working consciousness, it would empower people to be highly aware in their working environment, and be able to evaluate, improve, and know with confidence that they are carrying out the tasks they need to get done, both at home and at work, in the most efficient way.
​
Cost savings of this policy.
​
The costs gains of this policy are the total gain created by the improvement in output of all businesses and institutions in the country, due to more efficient work. It is difficult to make estimates, but we believe it amounts to hundreds of billions per year of extra money, that can be spent on better standard of living and public services.
