Pyramid of ages of all staff Staff turnover and absenteeism The staff turnover rate in 2017 indicates the institution's sound capacity to be able to support staff in their professional mobility plans. Uptake of casual workers on fixed-term contracts automatically increases the CGLPL's staff turnover rate, which is slightly higher (10.6% in 2017) than the average observed in the State civil service (8.1% in 2015 according to figures of the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE). This correct turnover rate and relatively low rate of absenteeism reflects a good social climate and does not call for any immediate or in-depth consideration in terms of improving working conditions.
