Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good morning, Ms. Ellis.
In your presentation, you said that it is important to note that the current movement of employees in the public service is no higher today than it was in the 1990s. However, our figures show that there is a high turnover rate in the public service. Unlike your statistics, ours show a steady rising trend with overall turnover having reached 40%, a level that is higher than that recorded for 2005-2006 and 2004-2005. They also show that mobility has been exceptionally high in the HR and management communities, at 76% and 58% respectively.
You said that you have developed plans to address this situation; however, I imagine that you did so based on your figures which show turnover to be 5%. Is that correct?
