Our increase in personal services represents a headcount increase of 45 new positions representing a 21% increase from our current headcount of two thirteen positions.
2:23:32
The 45 additional positions will support work related to our technology contract portfolio, strategic plan implementation and to support general operations.
2:23:42
As our budget has grown to accommodate expanded mandates particularly around language access and other legal requirements we recognize the need to scale our internal infrastructure accordingly.
2:23:53
We have built new programmatic teams.
2:23:55
We have not scaled our staffing levels in operations and finance in tandem.
2:23:59
Adding staffing in these areas will provide the necessary support to carry out our mandates and contract with outside vendors who are partners in this work.
2:24:08
To support timely production schedules and ensure compliance with legal mandates we have begun strengthening our people operations functions to better manage hiring, recruitment and onboarding.
2:24:18
We have also prioritized laying the groundwork for more specialized roles and a more robust administrative foundation to support the agency's expanding structure.
