Development efforts are focused on improving performance and cost effectiveness in the workp- lace. All facilities and premises in use are designed with health and safety as well as government’s overall bene- fit and social responsibility in mind. - Today’s changing workplace requires environments that support collaboration and that provide facilities for both teamwork and jobs requiring focus and concentration. Activity-based offices support new and changing ways of working and therefore are the standard way of organising office facilities. The same tools are used in remote work. The premises can be easily converted to different uses and to changes in work itself. - Ministries, government agencies and departments are keenly aware of the changes resulting from new ways of working and technology and will prepare for these changes in advance. The management of space is an integral part of general and performance management as well as of operational and financial planning and monitoring. The HTH Information Service maintains up-to-date records on the facilities and space in use. - Steps will be taken to improve the efficiency of space use and capacity utilisation. The targets for purchased or renovated office space is 18 m2/FTE and for newly constructed buildings 15 m2/FTE. To improve the effi- ciency of space use in other than office facilities, efficiency targets will be set separately for specific branches (courtrooms, prisons, barracks) and for different types of facilities across branches (laboratories, educational facilities, warehouses). - Decision-making on premises shall be based on overall economic criteria. Where possible preference is given to facilities owned or rented by government. In the case of rental premises it is recommended that the letting is done via Senate Properties. The shared use of space shall be increased. This requires common health and safety procedures, for instance. - As a rule rental agreements shall be made for a maximum period of 10 years, in the case of newly constructed buildings for 15 years. Access to public transportation shall be considered in the choice of premises, and activities shall be relocated outside the most expensive city centre zones. Rental premises must be energy class D. Great caution shall be exercised in the construction of new premises. For the Ministry of Finance On 1 November 2012, the Ministry of Finance set up a working group to update the Gov- ernment Premises Strategy. The role of the working group was to make a proposal for updating the Government Premises Strategy taking into account the Council of State’s decision in principle for its property strategy (21.12.2010), the Cabinet Committee on Eco- nomic Policy’s civil servants’ working premises, special premises and the policies regard- ing rental agreements, the position of Senate Properties position as an expert, in-house body, objectives established by national and EU directive regarding facilities and energy efficiency and: – The common premises data required by Parliament regarding premises used by the government – reducing operating costs – accelerated changes in operations, working habits and information technology – security requirements for premises and preparedness – The working group can also propose updates in other areas they regard as critical. The steering group for the project is the premises administration committee estab- lished by the Ministry of Finance. The working group is chaired by Pauliina Pekonen, Consulting Officer at the Minis- try of Finance and the members are Jukka Aalto, Director-General at the Ministry of the Interior, Heikki Hovi Ministerial Adviser at the Prime Minister’s Office, Riitta Juutilainen Director, Facility Services at the Tax Administration, Antti Kivipelto Unit Director at the Ministry of Defence, Juha Lemström Director at Senate Properties, Liisa Munsterhjelm Building Counsellor at the Ministry of Education and Culture, Matti Pulkkinen Minis- terial Adviser at the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, Juha Sarkio Director at Tekes and Hanni Sippo Director, Real Estate Unit at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. Tanja Ryt- könen-Romppanen, Senior Expert at Senate Properties was secretary to the working group and the assistant was Reettasisko Pakkala from the Minitry of Finance until 31 May 2013. The period of office of the working group was from 1 November 2012 until 30 April 2013. The period was extended until 30 June 2013. During this time the working group met ten times. The working group heard from the following experts Joni-Marko Laine and Anne Sundqvist from Senate Properties, Riitta Lahtis and Jessica Niemi from KTI Kiinteistötieto Oy, Valtteri Hongisto from the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, Helena Kinnusta from RAKLI ry and Aku Hilve from the Ministry of Finance. Once its work is complete the working group will submit its report to the Ministry of Finance.

  • Principaux Obstacles Juridiques S'opposant
    OD / novembre 2003 1 Le 1er décembre 2003 Mission « immobilier public » Dans le cadre de la politique de réforme de l’Etat, le Gouvernement entend moderniser la politique immobilière de l’Etat, qui est le premier propriétaire de France. L’Inspection générale des Finances a rédigé deux rapports très complets sur le sujet. Ceux-ci ont conclu à l’importance « d’une réflexion de l’Etat sur l’évolution de ses structures, de ses compétences et des outils susceptibles d’améliorer la gestion du parc existant et la conduite des opérations immobilières futures ». Ils ont identifié les facteurs explicatifs des faiblesses que présente la gestion du parc immobilier de l’Etat. Conformément à la lettre de mission, ce rapport soumet au Premier ministre les propositions opérationnelles qui doivent permettre de préparer les décisions du gouvernement sur les orientations de la politique immobilière de l’Etat et les modalités de sa mise en œuvre. C’est ainsi qu’il est proposé : - d’adapter le cadre juridique relatif au parc immobilier public, - de définir une politique immobilière globale de l’Etat - de mettre en place une Agence des propriétés immobilières de l’Etat. - d’arrêter le programme de cession d’actifs dans le cadre d’une stratégie de valorisation. * * OD / novembre 2003 2 * I – Adapter le cadre juridique relatif au parc immobilier public, I-1 Procéder au « déclassement » des immeubles à usage de bureaux La jurisprudence constante du Conseil d’Etat classe dans le domaine public tous les immeubles affectés à l’usage du public ou à un service public et spécialement aménagés à cet effet.

  • Improving Public Sector Property Management Download
    Office politics Improving public sector property management A Deloitte Research Study Contents 1 Foreword 2 Executive summary 4 Introduction 6 Success factors for strategic property management 19 Conclusion About Deloitte Research Deloitte Research, a part of Deloitte Services LP, identifies, analyzes, and explains the major issues driving today’s business dynamics and shaping tomorrow’s global marketplace. From provocative points of view about strategy and organizational change to straight talk about economics, regulation and technology, Deloitte Research delivers innovative, practical insights companies can use to improve their bottom-line performance. Operating through a network of dedicated research professionals, senior consulting practitioners of the various member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, academics and technology specialists, Deloitte Research exhibits deep industry knowledge, functional understanding, and commitment to thought leadership. In boardrooms and business journals, Deloitte Research is known for bringing new perspective to real-world concerns. Foreword When John Locke said there exists a natural right to “life, liberty, and property,” he most likely was not including governments in that equation. Yet, today, governments have become some of the largest property holders in the world. But what advantage is there to government as landlord? And how well are these assets being managed? Most importantly, in a time of fiscal austerity, what can governments do to optimize functionality, strip out waste, and ensure real value for their citizens? In this report, we explore these questions and offer actionable steps governments can take to better manage their property portfolio. Some of these steps are operational — such as better data collec- tion and use of analytics to model property needs.
