Staffing exercises will take place twice a year and will include vacant positions (open to staff and external applicants) as well as a lateral reassignment exercise for serving staff. Staff members who have reached their maximum position occupancy will be required to participate in a lateral reassignment exercise. A staff member can choose to “opt in” and participate in the lateral reassignment exercise earlier, if preferred.
Staff will be able to indicate their interest in positions announced via a compendium. This compendium will contain lateral positions that will only be open to currently serving staff. Although Staff participating in the lateral reassignment exercise will indicate their preferences, they could also be reassigned to a different position for which they are qualified.
