Foreign and Commonwealth Office: Personnel Management
(asked on 5th December 2016) - View Source
Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many people employed in human resources roles in his Department have (a) prior experience and (b) qualifications in human resources.
We do not centrally hold details of how many officials at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office have prior experience of working in human resources. To provide you with this would require us to gather information from the personnel file of each staff member and the cost of doing this would be disproportionate and exceed the appropriate limit. We do, however, hold a record of those staff currently employed in the Human Resources Directorate as at 8th November 2016 who
(a) are members of the Civil Service HR Profession, with a career anchor in HR : 12 staff.
(b) are not members of the Civil Service HR Profession or have a career anchor in HR but who have a CIPD (or equivalent HR qualification) : 15 staff.
