Podcasts about civil servants

The Trump chaos has brought a key constitutional principle to the fore: What happens when bureaucrats believe the president is not living up to his pledge to the Constitution? Sunil Dasgupta talks with Hamilton College, NY, Associate Professor of Sociology Jamie Lee Kucinskas about her new book, The Loyalty Trap: Conflicting Loyalties of Civil Servants Under Increasing Autocracy, where she reports prescient findings from 127 interviews she conducted with civil servants during the first Trump administration. https://a.co/d/75tNqQ2 Music by Anna Rubin.

Civil servants in government make many decisions every day. From policy officials working to develop responsive services that meet users' needs, to frontline officials who have to make choices on what tax cases to prioritise, the work of government requires the skills to make effective decisions. This Global Government Forum webinar looked at how governments can build systems that help drive better decision-making – and how civil servants can develop the skills to make – and implement – confident decisions. This webinar brought together public servants from around the world to discuss how governments are streamlining the way they work to become more nimble. It looked at how governments are building systems that will provide more effective data on public service delivery – boosting effective decision-making and facilitating action. This session discussed: The data practices that are making a difference for decision-makers, and the value that can be unlocked from more timely and accurate data in government. The technology and operations that are improving decision-makers' agility to react to changing and evolving conditions. The skills needed to make confident decisions in government. The role of AI and AI agents in better decision-making and action-taking.

Ministers and retired civil servants are to have the pension contributions checked after Minister Jack Chambers was alerted to potential underpayments and overpayments. We get reaction to this with Pearse Doherty, Sinn Féin, Spokesperson for Finance.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, we examine sweeping changes in the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division under the Trump administration. Reporter Sam Levine joins host Jessica Levinson to discuss how the division, long tasked with enforcing voting rights and other protections, has seen over 70% of its attorneys depart amid a shift in priorities toward the president's agenda. The episode explores what this means for civil rights enforcement, voter protections, and whether former DOJ lawyers can fill the gap by taking their expertise into private practice.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:The Role and Function of the DOJ Civil Rights Division and Voting Section: The conversation starts with an explanation of what the Civil Rights Division within the Department of Justice (DOJ) does. It is tasked with enforcing America's civil rights laws—including the Voting Rights Act—and consists of 11 sections dealing with various aspects of civil rights (voting, housing, education, anti-discrimination). Impact of Administrative Changes on DOJ Priorities: A significant theme is how changes in presidential administrations can redirect the focus and priorities of the DOJ and its sections—especially the Voting Section. While career attorneys (not political appointees) do most of the day-to-day work, political appointees set overarching priorities. Normally, shifts happen between administrations, but under the Trump administration, changes were described as “radical departures,” shifting focus to investigate noncitizen voting and prioritizing policies aligned with the president rather than traditional civil rights enforcement.Dismissal of Civil Servants and Dismantling of the Voting Section: The episode highlights the mass removal of senior civil servants in the Voting Section under Trump's administration, replacing experienced managers and ordering the dismissal of all active cases. This unprecedented action is portrayed as a clear signal of political influence overriding apolitical legal work—and is said to undermine the department's ability to fulfill its civil rights mandate.Follow Our Host and Guest: @LevinsonJessica@srl

Led by the Trump administration and Elon Musk's DOGE, Americans are debating once again how our government should hire civil servants, but are we asking the right questions? In this episode, we dive into a compelling new study on the Pendleton Act, one of the most significant bureaucratic reforms in U.S. history, which introduced merit-based civil service exams to combat corruption and incompetence. But did it work?We speak with economist Santiago Perez about his paper “Civil Service Exams and Organizational Performance: Evidence From The Pendleton Act” and his surprising findings that while the reform did help hire more qualified and stable employees, it didn't clearly improve government efficiency. Also, what unintended consequences may have emerged, such as manipulation of salary thresholds and persistent power dynamics among political appointees.So, what can the Pendleton Act teach us about modern bureaucracy, accountability, and fairness? And could reintroducing merit-based exams actually fix today's polarized and politicized civil service—or make it even worse?

A few months ago, one of Stormont's most senior civil servants vanished. Mark Browne was the top official in Stormont's Department of Education. But sources have now told the Belfast Telegraph that Mr Browne and the Education Minister Paul Givan clashed over how to tackle what is now a multi-faceted crisis in Northern Ireland's education system.

Michael Lewis, acclaimed author of The Big Short, Moneyball and The Fifth Risk joins Lovett to discuss his most recent book, Who is Government? Lewis and his coauthors profile the civil servants whose thankless and unglamorous work prevents mines from collapsing, castaways from drowning, and rare diseases from killing people. He and Jon talk about why it's so important to break down the “bureaucrat” stereotype right now, why Lewis is convinced Elon Musk has no idea how to run DOGE, and what leads the people he writes about to stand up to Trump or succumb to their personal ambition. To enjoy ad-free episodes of Pod Save America, and more, subscribe to our Friends of the Pod Community now at crooked.com/friends or directly on Apple Podcasts!

Romance is making the studio a thick humid erotic soup. Elis will send Isy a text saying “well done”. And John's Love Heart that says “new love” on it has broken in half; a sign that pagans would have interpreted as coming crop failure.But John is in love. In love with a new beau... the Top Shows Podcast Chart. He's also had the greatest match with a woman of all time… his mortgage broker. In less romantic affairs we ask “could you wake a baby for £25,000?” and there's a clash of two ingredients that were just made for each other: Mad Dads and sat navs.Contact us right now you sexy lovers on elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk and 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp if you're more of a direct message sort of person.

We're back with another Q&A show, with a bit of a DB Pension tilt this time, though we even get into a question on equity release. We cover lots of ground, as always - hope it's useful! Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA5  00:55  As you made a request for questions I thought I'd pose this (apologies in advance for the length, feel free to trim as required): I am single, mid-forties, with no dependents (I do have some family I plan to pass wealth on to, but when they need it rather than leaving it in my estate). I'm aiming for the mystical die with zero. As a home owner, and given I'm not worried about passing it on, would it be a good idea to start drawing on the capital locked up in my home via drawdown equity release (using say home reversion) before the investments in my pension and ISAs given this is the most illiquid and concentrated of my assets? Downsizing isn't really an option to release capital (it's a two-bed semi so property doesn't get much smaller). That said equity release looks to offer rates well below the market value (apparently they want to make a profit), certainly if you're on the younger end of the eligibility spectrum. It's far from the case of selling 50% of the house and getting that amount, even spread over a number of years. I could sell the house myself and rent instead, using the released money to pay the rent (and if the money is invested, provided my rent doesn't rise egregiously, it might even stay ahead of that cost). Though there are potential issues with that approach, certainly over the long term. Are there any other ways to unlock the capital tied up in my property? Regards, Lee   10:20  Hello Pete and Roger. I work in public sector and have a decent DB pension, larger part being final salary and lesser part CARE. I will be able to commute up to 25% with a commutation factor of about 24:1. Which will give me about £180,000 depending on when I leave. Upon retirement I will seek to move most into a 100% equities investment wrapper, I'm fairly happy with proportionate risk, as my DB pension will provide a life long index linked safety net, and I will also build a bit of cash ladder of declining risk. I have recently watched your ISA v Pension comparison with keen interest. It was fascinating to see that even though a pension is taxed, the tax relief going in, offset the tax going out, and the option of having both works particularly well in terms of tax efficiency and retirement planning. I had been putting a modest amount into a S&S ISA each month for the last few years, but recently opened a SIPP and am now sending the spare cash that way for the extra tax relief. It's very satisfying seeing the “free money” coming in each month.. I can potentially retire in 2 years at 55 with an actuarial reduction or continue working until 60, or retire sometime in between. I also have a preserved DB pension that I can take at 60 from a previous employer. In the mean time I want to keep saving and investing, and will try to ramp it up for next few years. My question is – It was pretty clear from your numbers that those with a DC pot are best with both ISA & SIPP in terms of tax efficiency and flexibility, but given that my DB pension will use up all my personal tax allowance, does that swing the momentum on where to invest back in favour of an ISA over a SIPP, as other than the 25% tax free element, I would pay basic rate tax on all my SIPP drawdown.  I'm sure other people with either a modest DB pension or secondary passive income could find themselves in similar quandary.  ( I'm aware all could change after the next budget. )   I live up north, houses are cheap as chips, therefore IHT unlikely to be a major concern in terms of decedents. Chris   16:47  Loving the sultry combination of the north and south tones! I've been listening to the podcast for several years now, and you've given me loads of practical tips that I've been able to take forward. However, I've recently received an ADHD diagnosis, and while I earn a good salary, my impulsivity often leads to overspending, and I'm finding it difficult to maintain control over my finances. I have a monthly planner that I check regularly with the bills, so they are ok, but on spending it is always difficult, and I often dip into credit card usage. I would really appreciate any advice or practical tips you could offer for someone like me, who struggles with impulsive spending with a disability. Things like “just don't spend money” just don't work! Are there any specific strategies, tools, or approaches that can help someone with neurodiversity, particularly ADHD, to manage their money more effectively? Thanks again for the amazing content you put out. Looking forward to any guidance you can provide. Best regards, Ian   22:53  My question / suggestion relates to listeners with Defined Benefit (DB) pensions. Although they're becoming rarer, there is still a sizeable minority of people who have DB pensions. I suspect the majority of them are (or have previously been) employees in the public sector – but they'll run to quite a high number. For instance, there are 1.5 million current employees in the NHS, half-a-million Civil Servants, half-a-million teachers, Police, Fire Fighters etc etc. Double that to allow for all the former employees, plus those with DB pensions in the private sector, and you're talking decent numbers. I've learned a lot over recent years from your Podcast, but there have been a number of occasions where you've alluded to the fact that financial planning advice might differ for folk with DB pensions. One example might be the topic of opening a separate SIPP (in addition to the DB pension) to supplement retirement income (or to fund early retirement) or to move money outside the person's estate. Another example might be the balance of ISA versus Pension: with some DB schemes, the benefit of “topping-up” is reduced compared with those in DC pensions. In many cases the employer isn't adding “free money” to your pot, so for many there may be more reason to lean towards ISA contributions. Another difference might be the topic of investment risk – if someone with a DB pension has a guaranteed inflation-proof income in retirement, might they be wise to consider higher risk investments? And certainly without the dreaded “profiling”. Another example (as alluded to earlier) might be in Estate Planning: with a DB pensions, there's no “pot” of invested money lying outside one's estate, so there's no IHT advantage. I realise this might amount to more than just a 5-minute topic for your Q&A edition, but I think you'd have enough listers to make a whole episode for DB pension recipients. What to you reckon? Thanks for all the great advice. Best wishes, Dr Pete   29:43  Thank you for all of your support over the years through the podcast and YouTube. I work for the NHS which is very tough at the moment but it does give me the benefit of a defined benefit pension when I get there. I am 35 years old but am wanting to make sure I am saving enough for retirement but also to make sure that I have enough for my children to support them through university and starting life! My wife is a fantastic stay at home Mum. We are aiming to have the “comfy” level of retirement at £58000 that you have previously mentioned which should give us some capacity to support the children! I earn £58000 plus about £7000 as a side hustle. I save into my NHS pension, save about 50% of the side hustle income into a SIPP, and save around £400 into a S&S ISA and £200 into cash savings each month. There are lots of examples about how much you should save but I haven't found anything when you are part of the NHS/other DB pension. Am I saving enough, or too much? I don't want to miss out on life now by over saving! Thanks, Alex   36:13  Enjoying listening to another excellent podcast where I heard the shout out for questions. One I had is “what's the best tax efficient way to save for kids futures? I started going down the path of saving into JISA's, but then didn't like the idea of being unable to access the money on their behalf, or them to do so before 18. I contribute to premium bonds, but theoretically that will be capped at £50k (here's hoping!). Any other obvious good suggestions?” Thanks & keep it up, continue to love the show. Cheers, Chris

Learn more about Shirelle at:  www.ileapgroup.com 1. Diversity of Experience & Breaking StereotypesShirelle's Personal Story:Her fashion choices (such as a standout outfit) initially led others to assume they were selling clothes, rather than running a successful IT and cybersecurity business. This was a pivotal moment where she realized that assumptions based on appearance (race, gender, etc.) don't always align with reality. She was able to turn this situation into an opportunity to connect with a key business partner, emphasizing the importance of diversifying one's thinking and not allowing past negative experiences to shape future interactions.There is a huge power in the diversity of thought—both in business and in how one perceives others. A mindset shift can lead to opportunities rather than barriers.2. The Role of Mindfulness and Self-TalkLeticia's Wisdom:Leticia introduces the concept of “telling ourselves our own stories: why mindfulness teachings, thoughts, and choosing the story we tell ourselves is important. When people experience challenges or negative assumptions, the inner narrative they create can either fuel suffering or open the door to more productive thinking and action.The message is clear: our mindset and self-talk can shape our experiences and either limit us or open new possibilities.3. Business Ownership: Passion vs. ProfitOn Business Ownership:Shirelle explains why separating passion from profitability is a game changer: While passion can fuel a sense of purpose, it doesn't always lead to immediate financial success. Entrepreneurs should focus on solving real problems (business problems) while maintaining their passion on the side, ensuring it doesn't become a source of frustration if it doesn't directly lead to revenue.Understanding business operations is crucial for business owners, particularly financial elements like Profit and Loss sheets, cash flow, and systems for managing growth. Without this infrastructure, passion alone won't sustain a business.4. Systems and Processes in Small BusinessEfficiency & Operations:The power of systems and operations in small business ownership: While it's tempting to focus solely on passion and product/service quality, a sustainable business requires attention to financial management, organizing workflows, and streamlining operations. Having clear systems in place for managing cash flow and delegating tasks, so that the entrepreneur can focus on the core functions of their business.Using tools like Loom or Zoom to record processes is practical advice for anyone looking to grow their business by ensuring that workflows and knowledge are shared efficiently within a team.5. Cybersecurity's Role in BusinessShirelle passion for cybersecurity:  a high percentage of small businesses face cyberattacks. Their work in cybersecurity is both a business solution and a way to protect other businesses, allowing them to pursue their passion while addressing a critical issue.Cybersecurity becomes a symbol of responsibility and security. Entrepreneurs can weave their expertise into their mission of protecting and empowering others.6. Finding Momentum & InspirationLeticia's Podcast and Message of Patience:Leticia shares her own journey of producing a podcast for five years without direct monetary rewards, underscoring the importance of patience and commitment to passion. The rewards often come in the form of impact and fulfillment, not just financial compensation. She talks about the urgency she felt to release content, especially the interview with Dr. Gladys McCormick, a woman who introduced holistic medicine to the U.S. and passed away shortly after the interview.Sometimes external events can serve as a signal or a reminder to move forward with projects that are meaningful, even when they seem to have no immediate financial return.7. Breaking News and Exciting Business MilestonesShirelle announces an exciting business achievement: closing a deal with a Historically Black College/University (HBCU) for a digital transformation and cybersecurity project. This includes providing jobs and opportunities for students, which ties back to their passion for empowering underserved and underrepresented groups.The significance of this project lies not only in the technical aspects of cybersecurity but also in the social impact—creating pathways for young people to enter the tech field while benefiting from education and mentorship.8. Gratitude and Giving BackWe should always express gratitude for life, work, and the opportunities that come with it. Maintaining a sense of purpose and using one's position to help others, particularly marginalized groups or communities that may not have the same opportunities is so powerful and humane. Key Messages from the Episode:Mindset matters: The mindset plays a crucial role in navigating business and life challenges. Choosing a more empowering narrative can turn obstacles into opportunities.Passion and business: Your passion doesn't have to be profitable or business-connected. But your business needs to solve problems. Passion doesn't always equate to immediate profitability, but when coupled with problem-solving and business strategies, it can lead to long-term success.Systems are essential for every business owner: Having strong operational systems in place is crucial for running a business smoothly. This includes managing cash flow, creating efficient workflows, and being ready for delegation.Cybersecurity and social impact: There's a significant need for cybersecurity services, particularly for small businesses. By combining technical expertise with a mission to empower underserved groups, businesses can make a social impact while ensuring growth and security.Patience and persistence: Leticia's story about her podcast emphasizes the need for patience and persistence in pursuing passions that may not yield immediate financial returns. Success and fulfillment come from the impact one makes, not just the financial rewards. Key Topics:Sherelle's early influences: The impact of her grandfather's lessons in global citizenship, work ethic from her mother, and dreaming without limits.The role of exposure in youth development: Traveling, learning new languages, and interacting with diverse cultures.Career origin story: Sherelle's transition from law aspirations to a career in tech and IT, driven by an innate interest in process optimization and technology."Choosing the right rooms": The importance of being in spaces that align with personal values and goals, rather than conforming to societal expectations.Legacy vs. fame: Sherelle's desire to leave a lasting impact, particularly on future generations, through her work in leadership, tech, and community empowerment.Empowering underserved communities: Sherelle's work through I Lead Group and I Elevate Community, focusing on growth, leadership, and work-life integration for women entrepreneurs.

#cuttheclutter After an unexpected but good performance in Lok Sabha polls, the Congress-led INDI alliance lost embarrassingly in Maharashtra and exposed faultlines in the Haryana Assembly elections. In episode 1560 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta dissects structural issues within the alliance, the contradiction in ideologies, distrust between alliance partners, conflicts of interest, and an apparently overpowering aura of the Congress. He also looks back at the life of Maharashtra's first Chief Minister Yashvantrao Balwantrao Chavan on his death anniversary. Chavan served in the Nehru-Gandhi Union cabinets as External Affairs Minister, Defence Minister, Home Minister, and even Deputy PM. Known for modernizing India's military, Chavan's memory may be lost due to the Congress' institutional amnesia. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read ThePrint's National Interest on Congress' dilemma between survival and revival https://theprint.in/national-interest/congresss-central-dilemma-since-1989-survival-or-revival/2329168/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To know more about Y B Chavan, you can refer to the following books: Debacle to Revival: Y.B.Chavan as Defence Minister, 1962-65 by R.D.

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Molly Redden, reporter covering national politics at ProPublica, and Andy Kroll, reporter covering voting, elections, & democracy at ProPublica, to discuss their piece of reporting entitled “Put Them in Trauma”: Inside a Key MAGA Leader's Plans for a New Trump Agenda. First, Sam runs through updates on the final six days to the US election, early voting numbers, RFK's ballot problems, Trump's threat to Police over mass deportations, the US economy, Israel's en masse slaughter of civilians in Gaza and Lebanon, and Elon Musk v. the NLRB, before briefly touching on the role of Kamala Harris' identity in voters' support of/aversion to her. Molly Redden and Andy Kroll then join, diving right into who Russell Vought is in the context of Trump's first administration (Director of the Office of Management and Budget), current campaign (policy director of the RNC platform committee), and the SUPPOSEDLY unrelated Project 2025 (co-author), before touching on the role he played in the evolution of the Trump team's knowledge of the administrative state, and – more importantly – how to dismantle it. Expanding on that latter element, Redden and Kroll parse through the first Trump administration's learning process in how to manage (and mismanage) the executive branch, forcing them to rely on career civil servants at the start who, annoyingly, cared about the work they were doing, before slowly pushing them out as Trump loyalists began to understand what they were doing, with a particular focus on the danger Trump's “Schedule F” poses to any remaining committed civil servants in the executive branch should he return to office. After tackling Russell Vought's outspoken support for the complete “traumatization” of these workers on their way out, Sam, Molly, and Andy look to the extensive plan Trump's team (and their Project 2025 buddies) have for a radical executive intervention beginning day 1 (should he become President), including relevant regulations and legal justifications, before they wrap up the interview by tackling what we can do (electorally and otherwise) to stop a second Trump Administration. And in the Fun Half: Sam reads Kowalski's reflections on a Nebraska Town Hall, JD Vance takes offense at people taking offense to being called “garbage” before going on to take offense to being called “garbage,” and Sandy from Ontario touches on Canada's recent elections. Derrick from Virginia objects to how MR has painted his campaign, Bruce from North Carolina on local feelings heading into the election, and Donald Trump discusses why we don't all have to get along. Hannity runs cover for Trump's fascist rally, Elon Musk continues to be a tiny sniveling weasel, and Rich from Missouri dives into the GOP's use of “ballot candy” to mislead and lure voters. Dave Rubin has some election theories, Charles from Virginia explores what an insurrection would look like without Trump in office, Jack from St. Louis on Missouri's judges, and Mike Johnson says the GOP has a healthcare plan. The MR Crew also watches Robbie Roadsteamer beautifully take the piss out of Steve Bannon and Hulk Hogan, plus, your calls and IMs!

When a new president is elected, especially when that president is from a different party from the previous administration, personnel changes ensue. But just as important as who a new president should hire for his or her administration is the consideration of who to fire, or at least remove from positions significant influence, according to the president of the conservative oversight organization American Accountability Foundation.  Through an initiative called Project Sovereignty 2025, Thomas Jones is working to compile a list of “deep state” civil servants currently working on immigration policy who would likely not support a conservative administration's border policies.  “A lot of the people who come into the civil service in this space, their career and their ideology is … they think mass migration into the United States is a good, it's important that we let these people in, and it's their life goal to really make that policy happen,” Jones said.  He argues that anyone who thinks government employees who have spent the past four years “allowing migrants into the United States” will suddenly support a conservative administration's plan to deport mass numbers of illegal aliens does not understand “how government works.” Jones joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the agenda and the implementation of Project Sovereignty 2025.  Enjoy the show!
