EFFICIENT WORK POLICY

 


THE £250 BILLION PRODUCTIVITY DIVIDEND:

EDUCATING BRITAIN TO EXECUTE

 

 

​

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 childhood and adult life.

​

Our Policy - How it resolves the issues and achieves the aims.

​​

Education is currently built around what to think, rather than how to execute, yet in all of our economy and life, we have to know how to efficiently execute the work and daily tasks we have to complete.

​

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.

  • Unenjoyable working environment.

  • Excessive work pressure and stress.

  • Poor people management, and team working skills.

  • Movement and transport.

  • Lack of skill.

  • Lack of use of skill.

  • Error and rejects.

  • Poor organisation.

  • Poor communication, and systems of communication.

  • Insufficient/inappropriate software systems.

  • Inefficient working methodology or processes.

  • Incorrect batch sizing.

  • Inefficient or inappropriate machines.

  • Inefficiently arranged working spaces.

  • Multiplication and overcomplication.

  • Excessive stock.

  • Redundant equipment, and untidiness.

  • Time off work for sickness and stress.

  • Poor time keeping, not being at work when you should be.

  • Not working, watching others work, waiting.

​​

​​By making efficiency training a mandatory core curriculum throughout school and anchoring it into adult careers, we transform the British workforce into the most optimized, highly coordinated economic engine on earth.  It empowers 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.

​

Our Efficient Work Policy targets the single greatest structural vulnerability in the British economy: the long-term productivity puzzle.

​

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the House of Commons Library, UK labour productivity growth has been chronically sluggish, averaging well under 1% per year. The ONS confirms that the total Gross Value Added (GVA) of the UK economy is approximately £2.5 trillion to £2.8 trillion annually.

​

Management consulting data (such as McKinsey & Company and Gallup workplace optimization matrices) reveals that the average worker loses 15% to 25% of their active working hours to structural inefficiencies—including inadequate task clarity, broken internal workflows, and lack of specialized operational training.

​

By implementing a mandatory, systematic curriculum that explicitly teaches efficiency principles at the career level, we eliminate this friction. Elevating overall workforce efficiency by a highly conservative 10% unlocks an immediate, direct financial dividend of £250 billion to £280 billion every single year in added GDP.

​

Here is the breakdown of the savings across the four core sectors of the British economy:

​

1. Services, Finance, and the Knowledge Economy: £175 Billion – £196 Billion Saved

​

  • The Baseline Data: The service sector is the absolute powerhouse of the UK economy, driving approximately 79% to 80% of total GVA (roughly £2.0 trillion to £2.2 trillion).

  • The Inefficiency Tax: Standard time-motion studies in white-collar environments show that knowledge workers waste an average of 2.5 hours a day on low-value tasks: navigating disorganized communication, poorly managed meetings, and inefficient digital workflows.

  • The Policy Impact: Mandatory specific training ensures every corporate worker is fluent in personal project management, high-efficiency digital operation, and optimized output strategies. A 10% structural efficiency gain across this vast sector injects up to £196 billion in untapped value directly into national output.

 

2. Manufacturing and Industrial Production: £22 Billion – £25 Billion Saved

​

  • The Baseline Data: UK manufacturing and production accounts for roughly 9% to 10% of national GVA (approximately £220 billion to £250 billion).

  • The Inefficiency Tax: Industrial waste is typically driven by human errors on the line, poor understanding of lean manufacturing principles at the worker level, and slow changeover times.

  • The Policy Impact: By embedding continuous, career-specific efficiency training into adult employment, every factory floor worker becomes an active coordinator of Six Sigma and Lean principles. This eliminates defective runs, optimizes machine uptime, and slashes shop-floor downtime, delivering a highly documented 10% boost to industrial output.

 

3. Construction and Infrastructure: £15 Billion – £17 Billion Saved

​

  • The Baseline Data: The UK construction sector contributes roughly 6% to 7% of GVA (around £150 billion to £170 billion).

  • The Inefficiency Tax: Construction is notoriously plagued by project overruns, poor sequencing of trades on-site, and material management delays.

  • The Policy Impact: Training all site workers, contractors, and project leads in strict micro-efficiency protocols means tasks are perfectly sequenced, materials are staged cleanly, and trade friction disappears. Industry data proves that synchronized workspace logistics lift site productivity by 10% to 12% effortlessly.

 

4. Public Sector and Healthcare (NHS Overhead): £18 Billion – £20 Billion Saved

​

  • The Baseline Data: The UK public sector represents a massive slice of economic delivery, with healthcare and public administration accounting for around 8% of GVA (roughly £180 billion to £200 billion).

  • The Inefficiency Tax: Administrative bloat, repetitive manual compliance, and fragmented operational protocols trap highly trained professionals (like doctors and nurses) in front of computer screens rather than delivering core care.

  • The Policy Impact: Automating routine tasks and educating front-line staff in hyper-efficient administrative processing frees up hundreds of thousands of hours, allowing public services to deliver far higher output per pound spent.
