4. Members of Personnel
Pages: 6 - 7
Headcount of 2512, but CERN-funded available FTE of 2326
Continued increase in Users
Increase in Fellows, also due to continued diversity of disciplines
Compared with 10 years ago, significant change in staff : non-staff ratio

5. Category Evolution Continued reduction of manual personnel
Pages: 9,11
Continued reduction of manual personnel
Administrative (Cat 5) personnel numbers remain stable
Small increase in technical, scientific & research personnel associated with running of LHC and preparation for intense LS1 period

10 year trend - globally positive trend
Stable numbers for staff.
Good trend for Fellows and with Graduate Engineering Training Programme
Possibly hitting limit of HEP demographics for users, but still regular small increases

7. Age & Seniority next prev Continued decrease seniority (12)
Pages: 16,25-26
Continued decrease seniority (12)
Average age stabilising (44)
Age & seniority gravitate to 44 & 12 respectively
“Whale” shaped age-profile curb of the 90s is now completely smooth – almost Gaussian
Almost 1/3rd staff less than 5 years of service and more than half staff less than 10 years of service

Well balanced arrivals from19/20 Member States
Higher departures in category 4
Favouring category 2 & 3
Entering a visible period of low retirement numbers
Turnover 3.93%

10. LD IC ratio As workforce stabilises, LD-IC ratio remains healthy

As workforce stabilises, LD-IC ratio remains healthy
As retirement numbers drop, expect IC numbers to increase slightly in order to retain excellence.

11. Conclusion 2012
2012 produced outstanding physics results thanks to excellent performance of the LHC machine, experiments & computing grid. This in turn helped to attract a record number of scientists, students and visitors.
The statistics highlight the following challenges:
We continue to increase performance on all fronts and serve an ever increasing number of users within fixed resource constraints.
Pro-active outreach actions can be initiated to make a difference, but
Despite efforts, we still have continued difficulties to attract candidates for staff positions from a number of Member States and across several professions.
