The largest single category of operating expenditures in public sector organizations is typically personnel costs. Baker Tilly’s state and local government consultants offer vast experience in assessing the adequacy of staffing levels across a wide range of municipal and county functions, and in developing recommendations to limit and manage overtime.
In addition to traditional benchmarking approaches, our analytical competencies include robust methodologies relative to staffing in a 24-hour operating environment, and knowledge of national standards relative to specific types of functions such as law enforcement, corrections, and fire services. We assist you with feasible recommendations to right-size staffing according to your service delivery needs. We also understand the broader context of comprehensive workforce planning to help you mitigate knowledge transfer risks related to staff turnover through recruitment and retention, training, and planning.
