Workers seem especially dissatisfied with management of the organisation, their workload, and their pay. The results of HRM give some clues how management can influence the job satisfaction of public sector workers. According to Ralph Pans, chairman of the Association of Netherlands municipalities VNG, Dutch municipalities will be facing a massive out flux of older civil servants. These vacancies will need to be filled to maintain quantitative capacity. The Association of Netherlands municipalities VNG has launched the Local Employers project. The aim of the project is to promote municipalities as employers of choice. Municipal bodies should take note of the different work methods future staff will be employing, e.g. flexible work schedules, flexible work locations and alternative work processes. Municipalities should, in short, be able to meet the needs of the young working population. Urząd Miejski w Krobi 46
