Dear Mr Hardgrave
LGOIMA RESPONSE -
Please find below, New Plymouth District Council’s response to your LGOIMA request
received on Saturday 9 July 2022.
1.
I would like to know the unplanned and gross staff turnover rate for
NPDC down each of the branch/department areas for the financial
years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 (to date).
2.
Also, can you please provide information for the past 12 months the
staff turnover as a percentage for the following business units (note
that the request was subsequently clarified on Sunday 31 July to
reflect the current list of Groups and teams within the NPDC
structure).
A combined response to Questions 1 and 2 is attached to this document.
Please note there is wide variation in the size of teams (from 3 to 70+) which
influences the percentage figure provided.
3.
In addition, can I please have:
a.
The number of FTE's that are hired in Communications
generally
5.5
b.
The number of FTE's that are hired in Communications within
the Mayor's Office
Nil. New Plymouth District Council does not have a “Mayoral Office”.
c.
The current number of contractors/third parties that NPDC
has engaged by area as above (2a to 2i).
