CR in numbers: Staff stability
Permanent staff · 2012 to 2025
I see more stability at City Hall.
I value the experience that stays when fewer staff leave. I want that stability to translate into reliable service.
I measure staff leaving, not employee happiness. I recognize the work of staff and management, not Council alone.
My sources & exact numbers +
I retain the published 2012 to 2025 series researched for the source collection, with the City’s later restatements for 2014 and 2015. I check 2025 against page 55 of the Annual Report. I do not invent values for unpublished 2010 and 2011 rates. I show earlier lows, including 4% in 2016, so I do not call 2025 a record. I recognize labour markets, retirements and management as possible influences, not measured causes.
I checked these sources on 8 September 2026. I am showing dated public records, not a live feed.
