Recruiting and retaining qualified staff at Statistics Finland

Competence management at Statistics Finland aims to identify and anticipate changes in competence needs, ensure sufficient core competence and correctly direct competence to the core processes and their supporting activities. Recruitment and internal mobility partly safeguard the core competence. The needs for recruiting have grown in recent years due to retirement, reorganisation of tasks and other competence attrition. At Statistics Finland, the internal labour market is used to fulfil recruitment needs in the first place, but focusing only on the internal mobility of the personnel has not met the growing need for competence. Other forms of staff recruitment and competence building are needed.
