Section 4 – Movements of ongoing staff
During the year to June 2005, there were 11,424 engagements and 10,482 separations of ongoing staff in the APS. An engagement refers to an employee joining the APS, not moving from one agency to another. A separation refers to an employee leaving the APS, not moving from one agency to another.
Both engagements and separations rose from the previous year– engagements were up by 22.6% and separations by 44.2%. This was the sixth year in a row that engagements outnumbered separations. The gap between engagements and separations narrowed again this year, as shown in Figure 11, refl ecting the modest rate of growth in the number of ongoing employees (up by 0.8%).
