Xiao Ming is an ordinary employee of a public institution. When he first started his career many years ago, he didn't have a clear idea of what he did. Doing a lot of paperwork and data processing every day, Xiao Ming often finds these things boring and does not see the actual value. 
He was often confused about who he was working for or for, and the role of the unit as a whole did not seem to be clear. Over the years, Xiao Ming's public institution has been in a state of poor operation all year round. The funding from the higher authorities is limited, the business development is slow, many new ideas cannot be implemented, and the development prospects of the unit are not optimistic. This also made Xiao Ming worry about his future. He often complained to his friends about his work troubles in private, but he did not have much hope for the reform of the unit. However, at the beginning of this year, the leaders suddenly announced that the country would carry out a series of important reforms in the field of public institutions. The core point of this is to re-examine and redefine the main functions of each unit, and change from the role of "mainly raising people" to "serving the masses of society" in the past. Xiao Ming feels that this may be a historic turning point - if the reform is successfully implemented, then the development of him and the entire unit will usher in new opportunities. When Xiao Ming learned about the reform rules introduced by the leadership, he realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The reform plan clearly put forward four major measures for the transformation of public institutions, and its far-reaching impact was refreshing to him. In particular, the core initiative of reshaping functions is considered by Xiao Ming to have subverted almost all of his past perceptions of public institutions. 
The new positioning oriented to serving the public has made the unit have a clearer development direction. This will also greatly broaden the career development space for him and countless grassroots colleagues. At the same time, the idea of optimizing the layout and integrating resources in the reform plan also made Xiao Ming refreshed. Once the fragmentation of the past is broken, cooperation and synergy between different systems that were unimaginable will become possible. As a result, the work efficiency and service scope of the unit will be greatly improved. Of course, the arduousness of reform is bound to bring many challenges. For example, the new performance system and strict accountability mechanism will undoubtedly increase the work pressure of grassroots colleagues. The overall strengthening of internal and external supervision of the unit will also reduce many "gray areas". However, Xiao Ming is convinced that these short-term challenges will eventually turn into a powerful driving force for the development of public institutions. 
The first step in reshaping functions is to clarify the new roles and responsibilities of the institution. The leaders of Xiao Ming's unit first organized a forum for middle-level and above cadres to interpret in detail the guiding spirit of the superiors on "serving the social masses" and formulated a series of specific measures according to the actual situation of the unit. One of the most important initiatives is the development of public service projects for local residents. From the most basic daily affairs services to regular legal consultation, psychological counseling and other special activities, Xiao Ming's unit has gradually changed its closed and self-sufficient state in a very short period of time. The residents who were originally indifferent to the operation of the unit also expressed their gratitude, which made Xiao Ming feel an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. At the same time, Xiao Ming has also found a new meaning in his work in this transformation process. In the past, he just mechanically repeated certain fixed tasks, but now he can directly help the citizens and see their heartfelt gratitude. 
This sparked Xiao Ming's deepest enthusiasm and changed his attitude towards work from the inside out. He has also gradually transformed into an active participant and practitioner of unit reform. Optimizing the layout and integrating resources is another important measure of this reform. In the past, there was little communication and cooperation between Xiao Ming's county-level unit and similar units in other counties and districts. Everyone runs their own system in a separate way. After the reform, according to the requirements of business specialization, a number of units that were originally scattered in different regions were integrated under the same management system. Xiao Ming saw that the professional technical strength and data resources that could not be shared in the past can now be interconnected through the internal network. This greatly improves work efficiency and expands the scope and influence of the unit. 
For example, in a public health emergency, information exchange and resource allocation between different regional units were successfully achieved. Many errors and omissions that could have occurred can now be coordinated and corrected in a timely manner. Afterwards, many of Xiao Ming's colleagues reached out to him to share their positive experiences of participating in cross-regional collaboration. It is expected that the effects of this professional integration and cooperation will continue to be felt. Improving various systems is an important part of ensuring the implementation of reform results. Xiao Ming found that in this reform, the unit introduced a number of new rules and regulations to make the work process and efficiency supervision more standardized. One of the most direct influences on grassroots workers is the new performance appraisal and reward and punishment mechanism. At the end of each month, Xiao Ming needs to truthfully fill in the work summary and accept the evaluation of the superior leader. 
Outstanding employees will receive cash incentives or the opportunity for job promotion. Employees who have high absenteeism rates or serious mistakes in their work are disciplined accordingly. Another important step is to establish a regular accountability mechanism. Xiao Ming found that whenever there was a major error or an unexplained anomaly, the relevant responsible person would be immediately interviewed. Once, one of Xiao Ming's colleagues made a mistake when checking the data used by **, although the amount was not large, he was severely criticized in person and made a deep examination. This puts pressure on all grassroots staff and increases their sense of responsibility for their work. Through the joint promotion of these measures, the efficiency and work quality of the unit have been significantly improved, and the foundation for subsequent deepening of reform has also been laid. Xiao Ming sincerely feels that a standardized and orderly system has played an irreplaceable role in promoting reform. 
The smooth progress of the reform also depends on a solid regulatory mechanism. Xiao Ming found that not only did the higher-level departments strengthen the supervision and inspection of the grass-roots units, but the self-restraint within the units was also much stricter than in the past. For example, the higher-level authorities are no longer conducting regular routine inspections in the past, but supervising units in the form of irregular and "surprise inspections". Any violations will be dealt with severely. The unit has also established various daily inspection systems to strengthen self-restraint. Once, one of Xiao Ming's colleagues omitted an important piece of data from the application materials. Although not intentional, this oversight was discovered by the inspection team during a subsequent external audit. The inspection team severely criticized the work style of the whole unit. The leaders of the unit also felt the pressure, and since then the implementation of various internal control measures has been greatly strengthened. 
As a result of these supervisions, the work order of the unit has been markedly improved, and the enforcement of discipline has become stricter. Xiao Ming also felt the pressure, but at the same time, he was more conscious of improving his work. He believes that these reforms will make the development of the unit more healthy and orderly. After more than a year of reform measures, Xiao Ming was full of emotion. Looking back on the confusion and confusion when he first entered the unit, he never imagined that the unit could glow with such new vitality in such a short period of time. Of course, there have been a number of problems in the process of driving change. The new performance system has increased the pressure on grassroots workers, and many people have been overwhelmed by being held accountable. However, the short-term pain is undoubtedly worth it. Through the joint promotion of these reform measures, the service function of the unit has been continuously strengthened, the work efficiency has been continuously improved, and the sense of gain of employees has become more and more substantial. Looking forward to the future, Xiao Ming is full of confidence in the prospects of the institution. Opportunities and challenges coexist, and although there are twists and turns on the road of reform, there are the broad masses of workers and workers working together to promote the exciting development of public institutions. Xiao Ming firmly believes that in this mighty historical torrent, public institutions will surely radiate new vitality!
