The Department of Social Affairs in Biel is ready

“The conclusions are good”, rejoices the municipal councilor and director of social action and security of the City of Biel Beat Feurer. The Department of Social Affairs had its new organization assessed by an external audit firm and presented its findings on Friday. The KPMG group’s analysis is positive. The Department even obtains a better result than fifteen other social services in Switzerland in areas such as organization, personnel or management, specifies the Management in a press release. The service emphasizes case management and organizes admissions processes “very effectively”, the report notes.

The department maintains its course

The positive results of a City report are thus confirmed two years later. Since the reorganization began to unfold its effects in 2017, the number of people receiving social assistance has fallen by around a thousand. This development has relieved the canton and the municipalities of more than 10 million francs per year.

Faced with these results, the Department of Social Affairs “is therefore maintaining its course and is on the right track”. /comm-gtr-ATS
