Determining personnel requirements in the public sector

Determine quantitative job requirements

This training is held in German.
The question of appropriate staffing levels regularly presents administrations with major challenges. The public sector is caught between the conflicting priorities of (statutory) mission fulfillment, the need for economic efficiency, employee satisfaction and customers satisfaction. Reliable and comprehensible time and quantity data is required for the registration and justification of (additional) positions. In addition to the existing tasks, new tasks must be included. With the help of the task- and process-oriented determination of personnel requirements, both the appropriate utilization of the personnel already deployed and any additional personnel requirements can be justified. The analytical determination of personnel requirements is therefore a key success factor for the continuous and appropriate completion of tasks.
