The first is to analyze the new situation, new problems and new situations of the current work of veteran cadres.
(1) The structure of retirees has undergone tremendous changes, and the trend of population aging has intensified.
In recent years, the number of retired cadres in the county has decreased by 4%-5%, while the number of retired cadres has increased by 3%-5% every year. The proportion of retired cadres has changed fundamentally. Less and less retirement, more and more retirement; It is more and more inconvenient to participate in activities when you are older, the average retirement age is getting younger and younger, and the desire to participate in activities is getting stronger and stronger; With the increasing number of retirees in public institutions, the workload of unit management services is increasing; The management service level of retired cadres in government agencies and institutions is improving day by day, while the self-employed retirement management service is relatively lagging behind, which leads to more and more unbalanced resistance and some unstable factors.
(2) There are problems such as the lagging retirement system for cadres and the imbalance of policies for retired cadres, and the management system is out of touch with the times.
1, national policy guidance lags behind. The retirement age stipulated in document Guofa 1978 104 has not changed so far. For example, on the one hand, enterprises try their best to make employees retire due to illness; On the other hand, institutions do not want to retire when they are old. Another example is a 55-year-old female intellectual whose children have grown up and are skilled in business. Just because they reach retirement age, a large number of outstanding talents are wasted.
2. The social security system lags behind. Although great achievements have been made in the reform of the old-age insurance system, while breaking the old planned economy system, the new social security system that meets the requirements of the market economy is still immature, which is mainly manifested in the following aspects: First, the social security network is incomplete, the policies are discontinuous, and the social security benefits cannot be fully realized. Second, the reform of the endowment insurance system in institutions is relatively backward, which needs to be standardized and improved urgently, otherwise it will aggravate the unstable factors. Third, the medical insurance system is not perfect, not including all the people, and the settlement management of medical treatment in different places lags behind.
3. The management system of retired cadres is lagging behind, and the management system of retired cadres is not perfect.
(3) Scientific Outlook on Development will inevitably endow the work of veteran cadres with a new era connotation and a new historical task, and there will be a new situation in which the functions of the department of veteran cadres need to be extended.
The Sixth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee put forward the development strategy of a cultural power; Comrade Li Yuanchao, Minister of the Central Organization Department, pointed out that it is necessary to "strive to let veteran cadres live a happy, peaceful and dignified old age"; Welcome the victory of the 18 th National Congress; The new situation requires us to turn the cause of veteran cadres into a sunrise industry.
Two, clearly carry out the role and status of retired cadres.
The party and the government have always attached great importance to the work of retired cadres and given strong support in terms of institutional setup, staffing and funding supply. There is no doubt that the leaders of various departments have included the work of retired cadres in their work scope, actively supported the work of retired cadres, set up leading groups for retired cadres, coordinated various relationships, solved practical problems in their work, and created a good working atmosphere for doing a good job in the work of retired cadres. However, the object of retired cadres' work and the problems reflected by retired cadres' work are not the central work and main contradictions of the department after all. Therefore, the work of retired cadres is in an auxiliary position in departmental work. The work of retired cadres needs the attention of leaders at all levels, but this kind of attention must not and should not go beyond the emphasis on the central work and the main contradiction, let alone be divorced from reality, and require department leaders to focus on the work of retired cadres as they do on the central work, otherwise their roles will be misplaced and the central work of the department will be delayed. Without the development of departmental central work, there will be no development of departmental retired cadres. The departments of retired cadres and their staff should correctly understand their auxiliary role in the work of their own departments, actively cooperate with the central work, and safeguard and serve the overall situation.
Third, give full play to the role of retired cadres.
Although the work of retired cadres is in an auxiliary position in departmental work, it does not deny its important role in departmental work. Over the years, speeches, many documents and a large number of articles by leading comrades at all levels have expounded in detail the great significance of doing this work well and fully explained the important role of retired cadres in departmental work. Practice has proved that doing a good job of retired cadres and maintaining their stability will provide a good internal working environment for the work and development of the department center. On the contrary, the problems existing in retired cadres cannot be solved reasonably for a long time due to the lack of work, which will inevitably have an adverse impact on the work of the department center.
The working department of retired cadres and its staff must have the consciousness of centering on the center, serving the overall situation and doing a supporting role. They should have the spirit of being unknown, indifferent to fame and fortune, willing to contribute and willing to be unsung heroes. In accordance with the policies and regulations of the party and the government, combined with the characteristics of departmental central work and retired cadres, we should make full use of existing conditions, strive to create a good environment, and actively and effectively carry out work with our own characteristics. Vigorously carry forward the traditional virtue of "respecting the elderly" of the Chinese nation, strive to form a good atmosphere in which everyone respects, cares for and supports the work of retired cadres, and solve the problems in the work of retired cadres. Doing a good job of retired cadres and keeping one party safe are achievements and contributions. Providing a good internal working environment for the work of the department center, glowing in the supporting role, and not being offside in due diligence are not only the measure of the effectiveness of retired cadres, but also the inevitable requirement of the department center for the work of retired cadres.
Fourth, do a good job in the work of retired cadres under the new situation.
(A) change the concept of work, enhance service awareness.
In order to adapt to the development and changes of retirement work, retirement work needs to realize three changes:
1, the working concept has changed from management service to service management. Change the working concept, strengthen the service consciousness and improve the service mode, so that the retirement work can be managed in the service and reflected in the management. Service management should adhere to people-oriented, highlight medical and health care services, solve life difficulties, meet the spiritual and cultural needs of veteran comrades, and strengthen political and ideological work. Do four things in place: first, understanding, second, policy, third, feelings, and fourth, service. Staff should persist in: constantly enhancing political awareness, overall situation awareness, responsibility awareness and service awareness, constantly improving policy level and working ability, constantly opening up working ideas and broadening service channels.
2. The working mode changes from passive service to active service. Change the style of work, enhance the sense of service, and carry out the work with "the party Committee is at ease and the old comrades are satisfied" as the measurement standard; We should take the implementation of the "two treatments" and do good deeds, do practical things and solve difficult problems for veteran comrades as the starting point and the end result. Hold regular retirement meetings, listen to opinions, understand the situation, help old comrades solve practical difficulties, and do a good job of understanding the basic situation of retired cadres and solving problems in a targeted manner.
3. The service management mode has changed from single to diversified. The service management mode should change from traditional single service management to classified service management and from static service management to dynamic service management according to different needs and situations. For "double high" retired workers and empty-nest families, first, it is necessary to establish a contact system with their children, and units and children care about the physical and mental health of old comrades. Second, we should establish a contact system with the community and rely on the community to take care of the lives of old comrades. The third is to establish a contact system with the hospital and cooperate with medical staff to do a good job in the treatment and appeasement of old comrades.
(2) Pay attention to health care, so that old cadres can lead healthier lives in their later years.
Physical and mental health is the basis for the happiness of the elderly in their later years. We should take care of the physical and mental health of veteran cadres as the top priority of our work and take various ways to ensure their physical and mental health. First, health education guides health. It is necessary to help veteran cadres establish a scientific concept of health preservation, keep a clear head, analyze rationally, do not blindly follow the trend, and combine their own practical scientific application. A series of health education activities can be carried out among veteran cadres to publicize and popularize scientific health knowledge. Such as holding health talks, distributing health books, and organizing "health preservation" activities. You can also set a healthy example by selecting "Healthy Longevity" and "Healthy Star" to guide old comrades to pay attention to health and keep in good health scientifically; Second, fitness exercises ensure health. Physical exercise for the elderly must be moderate, emphasizing individuality, perseverance and safety first. You can choose walking, jogging, Tai Ji Chuan, gateball, aerobics for the elderly, swimming and other traditional projects. In recent years, mass sports such as softball and Tongluo, which have been widely promoted in our city, have been welcomed by the majority of veteran cadres. Third, leisure and recuperation promote health. With the reality of "double highs", the activities of veteran comrades should be slowed down. For example, we can organize healthy leisure activities such as outings and farmhouses, and carry out relaxing outdoor activities such as fishing and picking, so that old comrades can enhance their physical fitness and enjoy their body and mind in leisure and nature. Fourth, psychological comfort promotes health. By the end of 20 1 1, the elderly over 60 years old in our county have accounted for 15.96% of the total population. The process of social aging is accompanied by family miniaturization and empty nest. However, the proportion of children of retired cadres working or studying abroad is larger than that of other elderly groups, and the phenomenon of empty nest is more prominent. We should actively explore the integration of all forces to establish a humanistic care and mental health assistance mechanism, on the one hand, encourage veteran cadres to care for each other and take care of them nearby; On the other hand, the veteran cadre departments should pay attention to personalized and family-friendly services while paying general attention, especially for the frail and lonely veteran cadres, they should stick to counterpart contact, communicate more and listen more, and help solve problems in time. At the same time, you can also contact volunteer organizations to mobilize volunteers to make use of their own advantages, communicate psychologically with old comrades and provide spiritual comfort.
(3) Advocating cultural taste, so that old cadres can live a happier life in their later years.
Relaxation, happiness and retirement should be the main theme of old cadres in their later years. We should attach great importance to the recreational needs of veteran cadres, and pay attention to cultivating old comrades' elegant life interest in accordance with the principle of "emphasizing interest and combining static and dynamic" so that they can always enjoy a civilized and healthy lifestyle and a good mentality.
Yi Qing is active. It is necessary to extensively carry out mass cultural and sports activities, expand the participation of veteran comrades as much as possible, not just rank, not talk about heroes by so-called "fine products" and "level", and strive for high and low, so that everyone can be happy and satisfied in the activities. For example, according to the characteristics of the elderly, fun sports games with relatively small amount of exercise and low difficulty coefficient can be held. Combined with holding major festivals, it provides a stage for veteran comrades to show themselves and show their love of life and optimism.
Wandering around. Many veteran cadres are versatile and tasteful, so we should fully explore and cultivate them. By setting up interest activity groups, holding special lectures, organizing and participating in professional associations for the elderly, holding exhibitions of specialties and works, etc., we will support them to give full play to their expertise, devote themselves to research, and constantly improve their level, so that more veteran comrades can cultivate their self-cultivation, cultivate their sentiments and enjoy their lives in flower bonsai, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and collection, and promote the strong cultural atmosphere of the elderly groups in all units.
Drunk in the mountains and rivers Appreciating the scenery, feeling the great changes in urban and rural areas, recalling the past and talking about friendship are the dreams of veteran cadres. Although it is difficult and risky to organize an outing, a relaxed, happy, safe and complete trip will become a good memory for old comrades in their later years if they do their homework before going and plan carefully from the aspects of route selection, scenic spot arrangement, outing time and logistics support.
(5) Grasp the characteristics of retired cadres and enhance the pertinence of retired cadres' work.
To do a good job of retired cadres, we must grasp its characteristics, explore its laws, enhance foresight and foresight, overcome blindness and carry out work in a targeted manner. At present, retired cadres mainly have the following characteristics: First, the age structure of veteran cadres is quite different and the situation is diversified. Among the retired cadres, there are 80-year-old cadres who are "over 80 years old" or even "prosperous", 60-year-old cadres who retired in the "sixty years old" and female cadres who just retired at the age of 55. Their ideological understanding, living conditions, health level and related needs are very different. Second, there are many levels of personnel structure and diversified welfare. Retired cadres have different posts, diversified welfare benefits and different payment standards; Third, the group is scattered and the management is difficult. Some live in urban areas, some live in rural areas, some live with their children in other places, some often move, and some places have inconvenient transportation, poor information, difficult management and care. Therefore, according to the actual and outstanding characteristics of veteran cadres, according to different situations and different people, we should conscientiously implement the political life treatment of veteran cadres and vigorously promote the "four nearby" community service management model for veteran cadres.
(six) innovative methods to enhance the scientific work of veteran cadres.
The new characteristics and difficulties of the work of veteran cadres in the new period and new stage require that the work of veteran cadres must reflect the times, grasp the regularity, boldly innovate, improve the methods and focus on implementation. Leaders at all levels, especially veteran cadres, should further update their concepts and ways of thinking to adapt to the ever-changing new situation. We should firmly establish Scientific Outlook on Development, adhere to the people-oriented principle, and take safeguarding the fundamental interests of veteran cadres as the starting point and the end result of our work. Focusing on the key points of veteran cadres' work in each period, we should study new situations, solve new problems, explore new ideas, apply new methods, take new measures, think about problems, do things, make plans and make decisions, and carry out various activities with improving the satisfaction of veteran cadres as the test standard to make the work solid and effective. According to the strong desire and demand of veteran cadres for knowledge, health, enjoyment and action, we should keep up with the situation in content, respect veteran cadres politically, care for them ideologically, care for them in action and take care of them in life.
First, strengthen the ideological and political work of veteran cadres with the focus on "learning from old age". We will improve the system of political study and organizational life, and create an atmosphere of study and activity by relying on the Party branch of retired cadres and the university for the aged. Create learning conditions by using effective methods such as movies, videos, Internet sites, playing teaching CDs, subscribing to newspapers and learning materials. Make them accept the principles, policies, legal education and relevant knowledge of the party and the state, and improve their ability and talent to continue to play their role.
The second is to focus on "providing for the aged" and effectively solve the practical difficulties of veteran cadres. In accordance with the policy requirements of retired cadres, the living conditions of retired cadres should be well implemented, the living expenses of retired cadres should be paid in full and on time, and medical expenses should be reimbursed according to regulations. At the same time, we should seriously study and actively create conditions to solve the practical difficulties encountered by veteran cadres in providing for the elderly, so that veteran comrades can enjoy the fruits of reform and development.
Third, we should put our foothold on "having fun in the old age" and rejuvenate the youthful vitality of veteran cadres. We should always organize veteran cadres to carry out various activities. For example, during the Spring Festival, a symposium was held to welcome the Spring Festival, and condolence activities were carried out to commemorate the party's birthday during the "July 1" period, adding color to party flag; During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, we will celebrate the National Day, praise the motherland and make suggestions for economic construction. On June 1 ST, students gathered together to carry out "suitable for all ages" activities; Can also be combined with their own characteristics, organize them to visit the achievements of reform and opening up, economic development, visit places of interest, broaden their horizons, enrich their lives, and promote physical and mental health.
Fourth, give full play to the role of veteran cadres in economic and social construction on the basis of "being active in old age". Veteran cadres are a team with complete categories and abundant talents. They have rich work experience and unique insights and understanding of economic and social development. According to the desire and pleasure of veteran cadres, we should guide them to condense into the tide of reform and development and let the residual heat of veteran cadres shine. Through regular visits and inspections to veteran cadres, local key projects, urban construction, popular projects and enterprise development, inform the work of the government or units, solicit their opinions and suggestions on economic construction and social development, and play the role of staff; Organize veteran cadres to enter communities, rural areas and schools, do the work of caring for the next generation, and give play to the role of veteran cadres in cultivating and educating young people for healthy growth.
Fifth, focus on "providing for the aged" and strive to improve the management and service level of veteran cadres. All levels and departments should always respect and love the elderly, always think about the policy of respecting the elderly, always care for and help the elderly, always adhere to the service first, be warm and thoughtful, and strive to provide various conveniences for veteran cadres, solve their worries and ensure their satisfaction. We should grasp the basic situation of veteran cadres in time, understand their actual needs, listen to their inner voices and do practical things for them.
(seven) the implementation of multi-level management mechanism to enhance the effectiveness of the work of veteran cadres.
The work of veteran cadres is a comprehensive systematic project, which needs equal attention, close cooperation and close attention from the government, society and family. In the new historical period, it is an important measure to mobilize all social forces, implement a multi-level management mechanism, and form a working pattern of interaction between the original work unit, the competent department, the residential community and the veteran cadres' work department.
The leaders and on-the-job personnel of the units where veteran cadres work often have close contact with them, and they know the situation of veteran cadres best. Carrying out the work of veteran cadres has strong pertinence and timeliness, and it is easy to get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, the unit where the veteran cadres work should be put on the agenda, actively take responsibility, implement management personnel, and do a good job in the work of veteran cadres in this unit.
The competent department of the unit where the veteran cadres work should play an important role in comprehensively doing a good job in the work of veteran cadres. On the one hand, it is to supervise, inspect, guide and coordinate the work of veteran cadres in subordinate grass-roots units; On the other hand, it is to directly manage the old cadres left by the original subordinate enterprises and institutions due to restructuring, cancellation and merger, and do a good job in the management service of personnel placement and treatment implementation.
The community (village) where the veteran cadres live should make full use of the existing local resources, adjust measures to local conditions, do what they can, and bring the veteran cadres living in this community into the scope of community services, so that the veteran cadres can participate in learning, activities and play a role nearby without leaving their original units. Starting from the reality of retired cadres, we should establish contact points, designate liaison officers, maintain normal information communication with the work units of retired cadres, strengthen the cooperative relationship between them, take care of the lives of retired cadres in time, and strengthen the service management of retired cadres.
The work department of veteran cadres is the main body of doing a good job of veteran cadres. It is necessary to strengthen the macro-management of the work of veteran cadres and strengthen supervision, inspection, guidance and coordination. We must always adhere to the service-oriented, invest in innovative working methods, make overall plans and make scientific decisions, make a fuss about innovation, strive for depth, strive for Excellence, pursue first-class, and ensure that the work of veteran cadres is always unremitting. Veteran cadres should respect the elderly, act according to the rules, be frank with others and be willing to contribute. We should have feelings, enthusiasm and true feelings for veteran cadres, be intimate with them, think about what they think and worry about them, solve problems for them sincerely, send the warmth of the party to their hearts, and constantly raise their work to a new level.
