How do municipalities evolve as employers? What trends and challenges are at play in the labour market, particularly that of municipalities? On behalf of the A&O Fund for Municipalities, Dialogic carries out the Personnel Monitor Municipalities 2026. This monitor is published annually and serves as the benchmark for HR figures within municipalities. Dialogic conducts research for the Personnel Monitor on the staff, HR and personnel policies, and salary data of municipalities. Additionally, Dialogic will (further) develop and maintain the dashboard for the Personnel Monitor.
The Personnel Monitor not only maps current developments but also helps municipalities look ahead. Through a combination of survey data, salary information, and advanced analyses, we investigate the factors associated with successful labour market and HR strategies. We also focus on providing practical insights, such as identifying successful approaches in municipalities, identifying trends, and clarifying the effects of policy decisions.
An important aspect of the project is the further development of the online dashboard. We gather user requirements and ensure an accessible and user-friendly environment where municipalities can compare their results, track trends, and conduct in-depth analyses themselves. We also explore innovative applications, such as AI-supported insights, that make complex information understandable and immediately usable.
The publication of the dashboard and the booklet with the results of the Personnel Monitor 2026 is scheduled for the end of May 2027.
