The loss of personnel leaving to secure other employment
prior to 1997.
b. A decline in the availability of suitable staff to fill
vacancies.
26. At present, BFHK has not experienced any significant increase in
resignations. It is assessed that staff are seeking to maximise their
eventual gratuity and that the enhanced redundancy package is proving
effective. This situation may change if employees perceive in the
future a need to distance themselves from the Garrison and to obtain
alternative employment prior to 1997. It is difficult to predict with
any certainty when or if this is likely to occur, but problems could
begin to manifest themselves from 1995. In that event it may prove
necessary to offer incentives in order to retain staff to the end.
27. Although recruitment of LECS has not yet proved to be a critical
problem, it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract the right
calibre of staff, particularly in the skilled grades. In the lower
grades, where absolute numbers are greater, relatively low levels of
pay may aggravate the situation.
