The mass movement of staff from the public sector to its private counterpart is not a new phenomenon. It's been with us for years, certainly since Margaret Thatcher's day. But with the part-privatisation of the Royal Mail, the transfer of social care services – even the recent suggestion that child protection should be outsourced – the trend is intensifying.
Healthcare offers a striking illustration of NHS employees relocated to private healthcare providers. In our most recent study, we observed staff two months before their move and continued to do so until 12 months after their arrival in the private sector. Some employees felt welcomed by their new environment; others found it more hostile. Some strived to integrate; others sought to recreate what they had known previously. Some embraced what they discovered; others adapted slowly. Some saw an opportunity for new beginnings and revitalisation; others just wanted to go back.
