In Year Two of AB 2561 workforce vacancy reporting, agencies have an opportunity to move beyond initial compliance and use workforce data as a strategic planning tool.

This phase focuses on stronger data quality, meaningful trend analysis, and demonstrating action. Boards, auditors, labor partners, and the public are increasingly interested not only in vacancy numbers, but in the context behind them — what agencies are learning and how workforce strategies are evolving as a result.

Strong Year-Two reporting can help agencies identify staffing gaps, strengthen recruitment approaches, and align workforce planning with budget priorities.

RGS has developed a dedicated AB 2561 resource page outlining key requirements, timelines, and practical implementation considerations.
