First, analyze the new situation, new problems and new situation in the work of veteran cadres at present.
(A) the structure of retirees has undergone tremendous changes, and the trend of population aging has increased.
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 retired, more and more retired; It is becoming more and more inconvenient to participate in activities when you are older, and the average age of retirement is getting younger and younger, and the desire to participate in activities is getting stronger and stronger; With the increasing number of retirees in institutions, the workload of unit management services is increasing; The management service level of retired cadres in government agencies and institutions is increasing, while the retirement management service of self-employed people is lagging behind, resulting in more and more unbalanced resistance and unstable factors to some extent.
(B) There are problems such as the lag of the cadre retirement system and the imbalance of retired cadres' policies, and the management system is out of keeping 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 have tried their best to retire due to illness; On the other hand, institutions and undertakings don't want to retire when they are old. Another example is the 55-year-old female intellectual, whose children have grown up and are skilled in business. Just because the retirement age has arrived, 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 policy introduction is not continuous, and the social security benefits cannot be fully realized. Second, the reform of the endowment insurance system in government agencies and 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 management of medical settlement 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 enough.
(3) Scientific Outlook on Development must give the work of veteran cadres 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 strengthening the country by culture; 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 make the cause of veteran cadres 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 great 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 a leading group for retired cadres, coordinated various relations, and solved practical problems in their work, which has created a good working atmosphere for doing a good job in retired cadres. However, the object of retired cadres' work and the problems reflected by retired cadres' work are, after all, not the central work and main contradiction of the department. Therefore, retired cadres' work is in a supporting position in the department's work. The work of retired cadres needs the attention of leaders at all levels, but this kind of attention can never and should not go beyond the attention to the central work and the attention to the main contradictions, and it cannot go against the reality, requiring department leaders to devote their main energy to the work of retired cadres as they do to the central work, otherwise, the role 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 supporting role in the work of the departments, actively cooperate with the central work, and maintain and serve the overall situation.
Third, give full play to the role of retired cadres
Although the work of retired cadres is in a supporting role in departmental work, it does not deny its important role in departmental work. Over the years, speeches by leading comrades at all levels, many documents and a large number of articles have expounded in detail the great significance of doing this work well, fully explaining the important role of retired cadres in departmental work. Practice has proved that doing a good job of retired cadres and maintaining the stability of retired cadres 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 will not be solved reasonably for a long time because of 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 good supporting role. They must have the spirit of being unknown, indifferent to fame and fortune, willing to contribute, and willing to be an unknown hero. In accordance with the policies and regulations of the party and the government, combined with the characteristics of departmental central work and retired cadres, they should make full use of existing conditions, strive to create a favorable environment and carry out active and effective work with their own characteristics. Vigorously carry forward the traditional virtues 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 for 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 doing one's duty without being offside is not only a measure of the effectiveness of the work of retired cadres, but also an inevitable requirement for the work of retired cadres by the department center.
Four, do a good job 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 work concept changes from management service to service management. Change the working concept, strengthen the service consciousness and improve the service mode, so that the retired work can be managed in the service and reflected in the management. Service management should adhere to the people-oriented principle and highlight four key points: health care service, solving life difficulties, meeting the spiritual and cultural needs of veteran comrades and strengthening political and ideological work. Do four things in place: first, understanding, second, policies, third, feelings and fourth, services. Staff should persist in: constantly enhancing their political awareness, overall awareness, responsibility awareness and service awareness, constantly improving their policy level and working ability, and constantly opening up working ideas and broadening service channels.
2. Work style changes from passive service to active service. Change the style of work, enhance the sense of service, and work with "the party Committee is at ease and the old comrades are satisfied" as the standard of measurement; To implement the "two treatments", do good deeds, do practical things and solve difficult problems for old comrades as the starting point and the end result. Hold regular retirement meetings, listen to opinions, find out the situation, help old comrades solve practical difficulties, and do a good job of knowing the basic situation of retired cadres and solving problems with a clear aim.
3. The service management mode has changed from single to diversified. The service management mode should be changed from traditional single service management to classified service management according to different needs and situations, and from static service management to dynamic service management. For retired workers in "double high school" and empty nest families, first, we should establish a contact system with their children, and the unit and children care about the physical and mental health of old comrades. Second, we should establish a contact system with the community, relying on the community to take care of the daily life of veteran comrades. Third, we should establish a contact system with the hospital and cooperate with medical staff to do a good job in the treatment and comfort of old comrades.
(B) Pay attention to health care, so that old cadres can live healthier in their later years.
Physical and mental health is the basis for the happiness of the elderly in their later years. We should pay attention to the physical and mental health of veteran cadres as the top priority in their work, and take various ways to ensure the physical and mental health of veteran cadres. First, health education guides health. We should help veteran cadres to establish a scientific concept of health preservation, keep a clear head, analyze rationally, do not blindly follow the trend, and apply it scientifically in line with their own reality. We can carry out a series of health education activities among veteran cadres to publicize and popularize scientific health knowledge. Such as holding health talks, distributing health books, and organizing activities of "keeping in good health". You can also set up a healthy model around you by selecting "health longevity" and "health 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 exercise moderately, emphasize individuality, pay attention to 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, the mass sports widely popularized in our city, such as softball and dredging collaterals, have been well received by the majority of veteran cadres. Third, leisure recuperation promotes health. With the reality of the "double high school", the activities of old comrades should be slowed down. For example, we can organize healthy leisure activities such as outing and farmhouse music, and carry out relaxed and pleasant outdoor activities such as fishing and picking, so as to strengthen the physical fitness of old comrades and delight their bodies and minds in leisure and nature. Fourth, psychological comfort boosts 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 and integrate 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, while the veteran cadres' departments are generally concerned, they should pay attention to personalized and family-friendly services, especially for the frail, widowed and solitary veteran cadres, and should adhere 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 use their strengths to communicate with old comrades psychologically and provide spiritual comfort.
(C) Advocating cultural taste, so that old cadres can live happier in their later years.
Relaxation, happiness and retirement should be the main theme of old cadres' old age. We should attach great importance to the needs of recreational activities of veteran cadres, and pay attention to cultivating the elegant life interest of old comrades in accordance with the principle of "emphasizing taste and combining static and dynamic" so that they can always enjoy a civilized and healthy lifestyle and good mentality.
Yi Qing is in the activity. 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 fight 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 old comrades to express themselves and show their spirit of loving life, optimism and enterprising.
Leisurely in fun. Many of the 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, and holding exhibitions of specialties and works, we should support them to give full play to their expertise, devote themselves to research, and constantly improve their level, so that more old comrades can cultivate themselves, cultivate their sentiments and enjoy their lives in flower bonsai, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and collection and play, thus promoting the rich cultural atmosphere of the elderly groups in all units.
Drunk in the mountains and rivers. It is the dream of old cadres to enjoy the scenery, feel the great changes in urban and rural areas, recall the past and talk about friendship. Although it is difficult and risky to organize an outing, if you do your homework before going and carefully plan the route selection, scenic spots arrangement, outing time and logistics support, a relaxed, happy, safe and complete trip will become a good memory for old comrades in their later years.
(5) Grasp the characteristics of retired cadres and enhance the pertinence of the work of retired cadres.
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 over 80-year-old cadres who are "octogenarian" or even "prosperous", over 60-year-old cadres who retired in the year of "fancy", and female cadres who have just retired at the age of 55. There are great differences in their ideological understanding, living conditions, health level and related needs. Second, there are many levels of personnel structure and diversified welfare. Retired cadres have different nature and positions, diversified welfare benefits and different payment standards; Third, the group residence is scattered and difficult to manage. Some live in urban areas, some live in rural areas, some live with their children in other places, some move frequently, and some places have inconvenient transportation, poor information, difficult management and difficult care. Therefore, according to the actual and outstanding characteristics of veteran cadres, according to different situations, we should carry out work according to different people, conscientiously implement the political and living treatment of veteran cadres, and vigorously promote the management mode of "four nearby" community service for veteran cadres.
(six) innovative methods to enhance the scientific work of veteran cadres.
The new characteristics and difficulties in 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 ideas 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 their work. Study new situations, solve new problems, explore new ideas, apply new methods, take new measures, think about problems, do things, make plans, make decisions around the key points of the work of veteran cadres in various periods, and carry out various activities with improving the satisfaction of veteran cadres as the test standard, so as to make the work solid and effective. According to the strong desire and demand of veteran cadres for knowledge, health, pleasure 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, we should focus on "learning from old age" and strengthen the ideological and political work of veteran cadres. 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 film and television audio-visual, internet website, teaching CD-ROM playback, and subscribing to newspapers and periodicals 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.
Second, we should focus on "providing for the elderly" and effectively solve the practical difficulties of veteran cadres. In accordance with the requirements of the policy for retired cadres, the living conditions of retired cadres should be well implemented, and 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 aged, so that old comrades can enjoy the fruits of reform and development.
Third, we should put the foothold on "having fun in the old age" and rejuvenate the youthful vitality of veteran cadres. We should often organize veteran cadres to carry out various activities. For example, during the Spring Festival, a forum for welcoming the Spring Festival will be held, condolence activities will be carried out, and the birthday of the party will be commemorated during the "July 1" period to add color to party flag; During the "Eleventh" period, we will celebrate the National Day, praise the motherland, and make suggestions for economic construction; Get together with the students during the "June 1" festival and carry out the "fun for all ages" activity; 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, we should put the foothold on "getting a sense of worthiness" and give full play to the role of veteran cadres in economic and social construction. Veteran cadres are a team with complete categories and abundant talents. They have rich working 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, so that the residual heat of veteran cadres can shine. Through regular visits and inspections of veteran cadres, local key projects, urban construction, popular projects and enterprise development, we can 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 care for the next generation, and give play to their role in cultivating and educating young people to grow up healthily.
Fifth, we should focus on "providing for the elderly" and strive to improve the management and service level of veteran cadres. All departments at all levels should always respect the elderly, always think about the policy of respecting the elderly, always love the elderly, always help the elderly, always adhere to the service-oriented, 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, find out their actual needs, listen to their inner voices and do practical things for them.
(seven) the implementation of multi-level management mechanism, enhance the effectiveness of the work of veteran cadres.
The work of veteran cadres is a comprehensive systematic project, which requires the government, society and family to attach equal importance to it, cooperate closely and pay close attention to it. 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 in which the original work unit, the competent department, the residential community and the work department of veteran cadres interact with each other.
The leaders and on-the-job staff of the unit where the veteran cadres work often have close contact with the veteran cadres, and they know their situation best. It is highly targeted and timely to carry out the work of the veteran cadres, 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 department in charge of the unit where the veteran cadres work should play an important role in comprehensively doing the work of veteran cadres. On the one hand, it is the supervision, inspection, guidance and coordination of the work of veteran cadres in subordinate grass-roots units; On the other hand, it is to directly manage the old cadres left behind 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 and 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 units where retired cadres work, and strengthen the cooperative relationship between them, so that the lives of retired cadres can be taken care of in time, and strengthen service management for retired cadres.
The work department of veteran cadres is the main body to do a good job in the work 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, make scientific decisions, make a fuss about innovation, strive for depth, strive for Excellence, seek first-class results, and ensure that the work of veteran cadres is always unremitting. Veteran cadres should respect the elderly, act according to the rules, be honest with others and be willing to contribute. We should have feelings, enthusiasm and true feelings for veteran cadres, be caring people of veteran cadres, think about their thoughts and urgent needs, sincerely solve problems for veteran cadres, send the warmth of the party to their hearts, and constantly raise the work of veteran cadres to a new level.
