Benefits management

This guidance has been developed to support forces and associated organisations in understanding and applying benefits management principles in a policing context. It will:

• outline the steps that police forces and associated organisations should take to capture and report on benefits when implementing organisational or operational change
• standardise the language used in police benefits identification and management
• signpost users to relevant resources, frameworks and supporting guidance 

It is written for police officers and staff who work in any operational and organisational change context, including:

• organisational change units
• information technology implementation teams
• operational leaders driving transformation
• those responsible for reporting on savings and efficiencies 
• senior responsible officers
• project managers
• business owners

This guidance has been written in conjunction with the following guides, but it is not intended to replace them. 

• Government Efficiency Framework
• The Green Book
• The Teal Book
• The policing evaluation toolkit and economic analysis - practitioner guidance, both available in our practical evaluation tools
