I know the private sector does that. I don't know if the public sector is doing it.

I'd be interested, in a year or two, getting a response when you do your annual report as to the reasons people are leaving.

In 2007-08 you have 61 new hires and 122 people. Half your workforce looks like its new hires. What's your definition of new hires--hired within that calendar year? Is that what you're telling me?

And then how long does it take for an employee, on average, to become what you would call productive, after training and so on? What kind of time lag is that?
