However, despite being a provider of services to better the general public\u2019s lives, the public sector is not without its challenges.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Difficulties with its reputation among young people, stops in communication, and reluctance towards change are rife in many western public sector organisations.<\/p>\n<h5>The problem: The archaic systems and modes of working in the public sector are turning away younger people.<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oecd.org\/gov\/budgeting\/43411582.pdf\">According to a report<\/a> from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries\u2014consisting of 37 nations from North and South America to Europe and Asia-Pacific\u2014the largest age bracket in the public services are likely to be between the ages of 40-49, with a significant proportion of employees between the ages of 50-54 and 55-59. In comparison to the private sector, the public sector\u2019s ratio of younger employees is notably smaller.<\/p>\n<p>This presents a significant section of the public services workforce ageing out into pension status and a lack of capable and willing supplementary employees.<\/p>\n<p>When our experts asked younger audiences about their reluctance to work in the public sector, their answers indicated a lack of brand awareness from the public sector. Potential young employees were eager to dedicate themselves to helping people but hesitant to join public service.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Our solution: Digitalisation of the workplace<br \/><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Expert predictions foretell that millennials and Gen Z will represent a whopping<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2021\/03\/gen-z-unemployment-chart-global-comparisons\"> 27%<\/a> of the global workforce by 2025. These generations are tech natives. Our change management specialists at Devoteam strongly suggest that transforming the mode of working towards a digital-first system will motivate younger workers to turn their sights on working in public services.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The problem:<\/strong> Outdated systems often cause stops in communication and lower efficient collaboration<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Currently, most government-run services <a href=\"https:\/\/citeseerx.ist.psu.edu\/viewdoc\/download?doi=10.1.1.697.5472&amp;rep=rep1&amp;type=pdf\">operate on outdated legacy<\/a> systems, and the topic of modernisation isn\u2019t a question of if but when. Modernisation is the answer for better management of public services and smooth adaptation to the workforce\u2019s potential shift.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The current setup of legacy systems is rapidly becoming outdated, making integrations with modern systems and applications more expensive and less efficient.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Our solution:\u00a0 <\/strong>Cloud migration<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Google Cloud Platform requires no setup or on-premise servers to run, much unlike legacy systems.\u00a0 For organisations reluctant to fully migrate into a cloud-first environment, solutions like SAP on GCP provide seamless integration for legacy systems into the cloud. Our change management experts have seen the implementation of Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) propel <a href=\"https:\/\/workspace.google.com\/customers\/multnomah-county.html\">collaboration and communication<\/a> into elevated levels of efficiency and productivity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The problem: <\/strong>Reluctance toward change<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Technology is simply a catalyst for change. Organisations can implement the latest technology and most innovative solutions, but efficient change is impossible if the workforce is not engaged or mentally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/233506361_Implementing_change_in_public_sector_organizations\">working against the grain<\/a>. People are naturally hardwired to resist change because of the ambiguity and risk associated with it.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Our solution: <\/strong>Change management<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our change management consultants at Devoteam Cloud Services understand that the people are at the heart of every organisation and the key to a triumphant transformation. They know that people make the company run, and to ensure cohesive and successful operation, employees need to be on board and driven towards the same goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px; text-align: left;\"><strong><em>We get into their DNA to make sure our tools sell the processes.
