CONTEXT Skills shortages across all infrastructure sectors are putting at risk the National Infrastructure Plan – cost and schedule. Skills are not an end in their own right but one of the drivers of productivity Government has announced: - a productivity plan where skills is one of the principal drivers - a target of 3m apprenticeships - a levy to help pay for this - 30,000 transport apprentices - DfT transport skills strategy - RSG leading ‘sector strategy’ (productivity) DfT, organisations and individual business all recognise and are addressing the skills shortages. A s tro n g c ollective re s p o n s e will require co-ordination and support. Not just engineering skills.
Update summary Skills forecasting underway at national and now company level What does this mean for me? Strategic workforce planning eg route • Have I got a clue about Procurement changes what my workforce looks like in 5 years? Sector deal • How can I prove I will be productive? Productivity scorecard and pilots • How do I know if I am Wider economic impact - treasury ticking the right boxes at tendering? Apprenticeship levy, service and • Am I influencing the right forecasts things/people?
Today’s Workforce (1) – Population of 219,000 Gender imbalance is decreasing, from approximately 4% in rail engineering four years ago, the figure is now closer to 10%. More needs to be done though. Operations figures contain all TOCs. There are more staff at Level C than B, indicating multiple management layers STAT Slides v2 -‐ December 2016 5
Investment Plans (2) These charts show total planned investment until end of CP8 depicted over time, then proportions of investment by organisation, work type and asset. DfT is Rolling Stock STAT Slides v2 -‐ December 2016 6

There is evidence of significant wage inflation in rail construction; a significant contrast with construction as a whole. This would be unlikely to occur if sufficient, trained resource was available. Avg Employee Cost Notes: 90.00 • In the construction sector overall the cost per 80.00 worker only went up by 5% between 2008 70.00 and 2014. 60.00 • In rail construction the average employee 50.00 cost rose by 85% over this same timeframe. 40.00 • This could be due to a lack of skills planning 30.00 (so demand exceeding supply and driving up 20.00 wages) or due to outsourcing the lowest cost 10.00 2008 roles (thereby shifting up the average). 0.00 • If it were due to outsourcing lower cost roles 2014 we would expect the margin to increase, as no organization would outsource low cost roles so that they cost more. • All things being equal, if the employee cost had stayed flat, the productivity uplift (ie the efficiency component) would only have been 15% in Rail.
The study suggests that there are opportunities to avoid significant (10-‐30%) over-‐run capital costs and deliver (10-‐40%) efficiencies £300 Billion of Infrastructure Spend 50%-‐60% Optimally Excess Efficiencies Missed Spent Costs A: Avoid the cost of conflict and the cost of poor capability and create an environment for efficiency B: Avoid the costs of skills shortages C: Stop restarting the learning curve on people, processes, products, contracts and technology D: Take the right risks and stop paying for excessive design redundancy and unrealistic risk transfer E: Use “digital / don’t build” to get the outcome without concrete F: Use our scale for robust asset data, manufacturing, R&D and asset standards 12
