JOB SATISFACTION, WELL-BEING AND HR MANAGEMENT WAS MEASURED WITH A PERSONNEL BAROMETER
In 2015, the police administration introduced a police personnel barometer, which is used for
research, training and education, and devel- opment, as well as for performance-based management. The barometer produces infor- mation on employee satisfaction and well-be- ing, and on human resources management, which is used for performance assessment and monitoring.
In 2016, the implementation of the HB development plans prepared on the basis of the results of the personnel barometer has continued in the police units.
LONGER CAREERS WITH A WORKING AGE PROGRAMME
In 2016–2018, the working age programme of the police will innovate and implement measures that improve HR management,
career planning, maintenance of occupation- al health and working capacity, and develop the terms and conditions of the employment relationship.
The objective is to increase productivity, reduce costs arising from sick leave and disability pensions, and encourage personnel to continue longer in their working lives. The programme affects all personnel groups and employees of all ages over their entire
career.
In 2016, the spearhead themes of the working age programme were the development of
an adapted work model and mentoring, and a reform of the personal performance and development review practices. At the same
Detective Sergeant Hannu Kangas from the Länsi-Uusimaa police department was selected as Police Of cer of the Year. Working in basic investigations, Kangas is engaged in basic police work: daily criminal investigation. Indeed, the selection was intended to highlight the vital importance of basic police work to police operations in general on this 200th anniversary of the Finnish police. The Police Of cer of the Year was selected for the 41st time.
