The burden on fingertips, layers of companionship... keep an eye on the formalist issues around us, grassroots cadres | materials | formalism

Formalism and bureaucracy are incompatible with the nature, purpose, and fine work style of our party, and are the great enemies of our party and the people. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has made solving prominent problems of formalism and bureaucracy, and reducing the burden on the grassroots as a key focus of work style construction. It has focused on reducing the burden on the grassroots, implemented precise policies and targeted treatments, and has played a combination of punches, achieving good results. However, the formalism and bureaucracy that currently increase the burden on grassroots still exist, and there is still feedback from cadres and the masses. This edition will launch a series of reports titled "Focusing on Formalism Issues" from now on. Please stay tuned.

Less material and more base

In recent years, it has become a social consensus to change the work style and reduce the burden on the grassroots. Writing and submitting various materials is one of the important reasons for the heavy burden on the grassroots.

The higher-level departments ask the grassroots for materials, which often appear in some notices or plans. For example, they must carefully summarize and form a written report; they must conduct in-depth research and write a situation report with no less than the specified number of words. There are also regulations, do not report on time to inform criticism; If you do not report within the time limit, you will have to call the person in charge of the unit. If you do not submit it after urging it, it will be the key object of supervision. Some even clearly stipulate that failure to report within the time limit will not be accepted; if the materials are not reported on time, it will be regarded as giving up the evaluation of the first tree. And so on and so forth.

Submitting materials to higher-level departments at the grass-roots level is an important way of work, which is understandable. However, bureaucratic and formalistic problems, such as multiple duplication of materials, surprise inspections of materials, meritorious achievements based on materials, detailed materials for everything, and replacing inspection work with materials, have increased the burden on the grass-roots level, forcing some grass-roots cadres to "add white to black" and "5 plus 2". And too much material, perfunctory coping is inevitable.

"A thousand threads above, a needle below." There are few staff at the grass-roots level, heavy tasks, and miscellaneous affairs, and every link of all work, from deployment arrangements and on-site promotion, to assessment and acceptance, and rectification and implementation, needs to be closely watched, and there should be no slack. The grass-roots level also undertakes a large number of management and service functions, and any work that is not in place will affect the sense of achievement and satisfaction of the masses.

Higher-level departments should be considerate of the busyness and hard work of grassroots cadres, and need less materials and more ideas; they should go to the grassroots to see what innovative experiences can be summarized and improved at the grassroots level, and what specific problems need to be carefully studied and solved, so that grassroots cadres Can have more time and energy to devote to the actual work of serving the people and promoting economic and social development.

Excessive working software increases the burden on the grassroots

I am a township cadre, and I am deeply impressed by the "formalism at the fingertips". Excessive and excessive work application software has brought a lot of "burden on the fingertips" to the grassroots ".

There are many work application software in my mobile phone, because different lines and departments at different levels will develop corresponding application software, including those in provinces, cities, counties, and even villages and towns where they are located. Software or small programs require grass-roots cadres to use. The development and construction of these application software pays more attention to quantity than quality. Some functional departments develop multiple application software, or the functional departments at higher and lower levels develop application software respectively. However, the functions are highly similar, which adds too much burden to grass-roots cadres. At the same time, the problems of these application softwares, such as emphasizing form but not actual effect, leaving excessive marks, and getting out of shape and taste, have seriously encroached on the time and energy of grass-roots cadres. In fact, it takes a lot of time to log in to these applications just once a day.

It is recommended to carry out targeted rectification of excessive and excessive application software, merge software with similar functions in multiple departments or one department, and take off the shelves those software that are completely ineffective or active, so as to reduce the burden on grassroots cadres. Let cadres go lightly.

"Real research" to solve "real problems"

Investigation and research is the heirloom of our party and the "source of living water" to promote the development of the party and the country ". Only by conducting investigations and studies can we reflect the real situation and effectively solve the "real problems" that plague the masses ".

At the time of the investigation and research of the whole party, party members and cadres keep a close eye on the urgent and anxious problems of the masses, looking at both "high-rise buildings" and "back shade hutongs," and strive to find out the difficulties faced by the grass-roots level and the problems encountered by the masses. to find a solution. However, individual party members and cadres regard investigation and research as an assigned task, either skimming the surface, or taking a quick look, or just taking the "classic route", avoiding problems and not studying them. These formalistic "investigations" not only make the grassroots cadres and the masses tired of coping, but also deviate from the original intention of investigation and research to solve real problems.

To put an end to "false research" and solve "real problems", we must vigorously get rid of bureaucracy and formalism in investigation and research. On the one hand, we must adhere to the problem orientation, not only to learn experience where the work is effective and bright, but also to find problems where contradictions are prominent and difficult. On the other hand, it is necessary to thoroughly practice the mass line, keep your eyes down, put down your airs, and throw yourself down to ensure that the situation is clarified, the problems are identified, and the countermeasures are put forward. Finally, we should be good at solving problems, turn the research results into work measures, help the grassroots and the masses solve their worries and worries, and promote economic and social development.

Do more practical things to reduce the marks left in the form

I am a small restaurant owner. A month ago, staff from an inspection team of the municipal government and the market supervision department came to the store to inspect and asked us to provide complete operating materials, including the appointment letter and appointment letter of the food safety administrator. As a small shop owner, I can only hire myself and give myself a letter of appointment. In addition, the staff also asked me to make relevant records of daily control, weekly investigation and monthly scheduling. The daily control form has to be filled in one every day. One form is two or three pages. I don't know how many forms to fill in at the end of the year.

Food safety is really important. The competent authorities will inspect and guide us, and we are willing to cooperate. However, the inspection work should not be to check the form for marks. Besides, at present, different departments ask for different materials, and we have to do business. In this way, we have to deal with different inspections in counties and towns every day, and we have to check in writing, which can only add burden to us, but is not conducive to food safety. It is hoped that the relevant departments will pay attention to this issue, put the work into practice, need less materials and do more practical things.

Reduce unreasonable evaluation of grassroots

I am a grass-roots civil servant, and one of my job responsibilities is to be responsible for the backstage operation of the provincial government service network. At present, due to problems such as the failure to get through the data, the government affairs network is actually unable to handle most of the business of the unit. But in the provincial and municipal evaluation, one of the evaluation contents is to evaluate the "quantity of pieces handled".

Due to the actual situation of different counties and districts, such as population, there are no small differences in the amount of pieces handled. In order to increase the "volume of work", some localities, departments, and units "think of ways and come up with strange tricks", resulting in formalism. For example, some unit businesses do not realize online processing or belong to low-frequency processing items. In order to obtain higher evaluation scores, they manually "brush the amount", resulting in highly similar processing information. In order to make the "brush" out of the number of pieces to appear more real, some units also require staff to manually evaluate one by one, which takes up a lot of time and energy of grass-roots cadres, racking their brains to "praise". This is the formalism forced by unreasonable evaluation, which adds a lot of burden to grassroots cadres.

The evaluation of government services should focus on service quality and efficiency, rather than just looking at data. It is suggested that the relevant departments should systematically sort out the standards of assessment and evaluation, so as to make them more scientific and standardized, closer to work and reality, and truly make assessment and evaluation a powerful starting point to promote work, improve quality and efficiency.

Layers of company will occupy too much time at the grassroots level.

In recent years, the rectification of formalism has reduced the burden on the grassroots and given the cadres and the masses a real sense of gain. However, we need to be vigilant. Some old problems and new tricks are still bringing burdens and troubles to grassroots cadres.

In addition to submitting more documents and materials, there are still too many meetings, especially the need to accompany the meeting, which takes up too much time. In fact, meeting to convey instructions from superiors, assign work tasks, and exchange information at the grassroots level is a working method that is understandable. With the advancement of science and technology, video online conferencing has greatly broken through the boundaries of space, and there is no need for grassroots cadres to run around. However, there are still many meetings that require full participation. Some meetings only involve leading cadres, and some only involve comrades in a certain part of the work field. However, full participation is still required. Nominally, it reflects the importance of the grassroots. It is a useless formalism that takes up a lot of time and energy for grassroots cadres. It is suggested that the layers of accompanying meetings should be canceled and targeted meetings should be held so that cadres can have more time and energy to devote themselves to serving the people.
