“It is the duty of the state towards both the citizens and the employees, the upgrade of EFKA services because they deserve better services”, stressed Mr. Tsakloglou.
As Mr. Tsakloglou pointed out, “the chronic problems of the insurance system, perpetuated inequalities” while noting that the unification of all insurance funds under the SYRIZA government was a right step but was done under pressure, thus canceling to a large extent its beneficial work . “However, this is how the organizational structure of EFKA was set up. It was expected that the pathogens would continue. “EFKA’s problems with the bureaucracy were prescribed,” he said.
He also claimed that “EFKA suffers from a lack of credibility”, emphasizing that “the goal of the government is for the citizens to trust it”. “That’s why the operational renaissance of the Insurance Organization is necessary, so that it can be transformed from a slow-moving giant into a digital machine,” he added.
Also, Mr. Tsakloglou underlined that despite the bureaucratic problems, the Organization last year managed to increase the award of pensions and this, as he said, “creates reasonable hopes that they will accelerate even more”. “I am not saying there are no problems yet. “But we are very close to their final solution,” he said. “We are taking a decisive step in upgrading the insurance company and the provision of its services.
We enhance the flexibility of the Organization, simplify procurement procedures, extend controls and make more efficient use of a significant EFKA asset. “With the better management of his property, he will respond more effectively to the needs and demands of the citizens for faster granting of pensions and better and more efficient services”, he said.
He also spoke about “very capable employees of EFKA who work day and night and we must identify them and reward them.” “We want an organization with capable and highly qualified executives from both the private and public sectors,” concluded Mr. Tsakloglou.
