EFFICIENCY WORKING GROUP. The parties acknowledge the shared value associated with enhanced service delivery and improved operational efficiency. Continued public confidence in government, and public support for governmental programs, requires an ongoing focus on continuous improvement, and corresponding results. The parties also acknowledge that more efficient service delivery can provide opportunities to reinvest savings to the benefit of those employees that contribute to such favorable outcomes. In this light, the parties agree, in the course of this contract, to establish a working group that will be charged with identifying no fewer than four pilot programs focused on developing more efficient methods of service delivery in at least three selected service areas. The parties further agree that these pilot programs will complete their work six months prior to the end of this agreement, and will produce report(s) detailing each initiative; the iterative steps taken to accomplish its purpose(s); and the service impacts resulting from the initiative. Finally, the parties agree that a portion of any cost savings that result from these initiatives will be returned to employees in the affected bargaining unit, in accordance with a formula determined in advance by mutual agreement of the parties. The Commonwealth and the Union each agree to designate seven persons to be named to this working group no later than 30 days from the date of execution of this agreement.
