Workspaces - Municipalities in Hesse face employment concerns.
In some Hessian cities, there's a shortage of employees working in offices and government buildings. This has led to longer wait periods for citizens who need assistance or services.
The city of Frankfurt, for instance, is struggling to find workers for their numerous open positions. They're currently sitting on about 14,465 job openings, with over 2,200 of those empty. In a statement given to the German Press Agency, they said, "Due to the tight job market, it's hard for most companies and public employers to find and hire staff."
In Hanau, the staffing levels in core administration roles had settled at 92.5% back in the middle of last year. The consequences? Slower processing times, delayed meetings, and delayed projects, like digitization efforts.
In Gießen, the city council shared that there are roughly 100 empty seats out of approximately 1,200 total job positions. Similar issues are occurring in Kassel, where incomplete staffing has led to increased workloads, longer processing times, less accessibility, and longer waiting times. Darmstadt has also shared that "approximately 16% of all listed positions in their personnel plan are vacant."
