Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what the level of staff turnover was in (a) his Department and (b) his Department's digital team in each of the last 12 months for which data is available.
The turnover figures requested are as follows:
Month | DCLG | DCLG Digital team |
October 2014 | 0.8% | 0.0% |
November 2014 | 1.0% | 0.0% |
December 2014 | 0.6% | 0.0% |
January 2015 | 0.8% | 0.0% |
February 2015 | 0.5% | 0.0% |
March 2015 | 2.5% | 0.0% |
April 2015 | 4.6% | 0.0% |
May 2015 | 1.0% | 11.1% |
June 2015 | 0.4% | 0.0% |
July 2015 | 0.6% | 0.0% |
August 2015 | 1.0% | 0.0% |
September 2015 | 1.4% | 0.0% |
The overall turnover rates in the 2014-15 financial year were 12.8% and 11.1% respectively. The turnover figures include all staff leaving the organisation, including those who transferred to another Government Department but remained in Civil Service employment, including those that transferred as a result of machinery of government changes. The Department’s Digital team is only made up of 9 staff, therefore small numbers of leavers heavily skew the turnover figures.
