7. PRIORITY

This step is a matter of prioritizing staffing gaps in terms of the biggest impact on the success of your agency, office, division, etc.

  • Which staffing gaps can be handled in a routine way with a minimum commitment of resources (e.g., continue the exam process that was successful in the past and is expected to meet anticipated needs)?

  • Of the remaining staffing needs, what is the benefit of addressing each?

  • What would be the impact of not addressing each?

  • Based on the benefits and impact identified above, what is the relative priority of each of the needs?

  • Have you received executive input in setting priorities?
