CITB to lose a third of its staff to cut costs by 20%

摘要

The CITB will cut costs by 20 per cent and reduce staff headcount by a third over the next three years as part of a drive to increase efficiency. As part of its three-year business plan, the training body plans to increase the proportion of levy income that is returned directly to employers from 84 per cent to 90 per cent. CITB director of policy Steve Radley told Construction News the cost savings between now and 2018 would come through a combination of job cuts, investment in technology and outsourcing. The overhaul is intended to cut the organisation's costs from £148m last year to £116m by 2018.
