Assessment is based on the following data:
• Annual turnover in senior civil service positions during the year in which the government was last formed (calculated as the number of civil servants who left their position, divided by the total employment in those positions at the beginning of the year, expressed as a percentage). Data relates to central government administration only;
• Annual turnover in senior civil service positions during the year after the latest formation of the government (calculated as the number of civil servants who left their position, divided by the total employment in those positions at the beginning of the year, expressed as a percentage). Data relates to central government administration only;
• Annual turnover in senior civil service positions during the latest full calendar year (calculated as the number of civil servants who left their position, divided by the total employment in those positions at the beginning of the year, expressed as a percentage). Data relates to central government administration only.
The highest value of the three mentioned above is presented. If the latest formation of the government was in the second half of the latest full calendar year or later, data about previous formation of the government is analysed.
