Q&A

Aldebol asks about trends in transfers between city agencies

New York City Council · Oct 16, 2026 · starts 0:50:13 · 1 min 7 sec

Aldebol notes 80% of departures were resignations, 13.5% retirements, and 5.5% transfers, and asks whether transfer trends exist; Porter says movement is common given opportunities across 80-plus agencies.

Shirley Aldebol

When looking at the data from the exit surveys and 80% were resignations,

Shirley Aldebol

13.5% were retirement, and 5.5% were transfers to other city agencies,

Shirley Aldebol

have you identified any particular trends where employees from one agency are likely to transfer to another because the skills necessary are similar?

Shirley Aldebol

And there may be more opportunities for career development at the destination agency.

Katrina Porter

So I think it's common for employees to move around city government just based on the vast number of opportunities that may be available.

Katrina Porter

So it will be difficult to kind of like hone in on a specific reason.

Katrina Porter

I think it's just more about, you know, the number of positions and opportunities that are available across the 80 plus agencies.

Katrina Porter

With available vacancies.
