Ins & Outs
We started 2012 with 596 FTEs on 1 January 2012 and ended at 575 FTEs on 31 December 2012. We had 108 starters and 141 leavers in 2012. Nearly half of the leavers were planned due to dismissals or temporary contracts not being renewed. The other half was mainly caused by people leaving Swets for career progression reasons, within their first three years of service. Overall this staff turnover meant an ongoing strong investment in recruitment, onboarding and training.
At the end of the year there was an addition to the reorganization provision of € 1.2 million due to our ongoing effort to professionalise our organization. The length of service in 2012 (reference date 31 July 2012) was less than a year for 17% of the employees, between one and five years for 38% of the employees, between five and ten years for 14%, between ten and fifteen years for 13%, and fifteen years or more for 18% of the employees.
