Count your lucky stars.  We have 3,000 employees and the Records
Management Department now is down to only me.  Hard to believe since we
actually had employees indicted and served jail time for destroying
records illegally.  Last year they eliminated the function, then brought
it back in the afternoon of the same day.  This year they made it
part-time, then changed back to full time but now it reports to
Procurement.  I know this doesn't answer your question, but it felt good
to vent.

I am looking for information on the average size of a Records
Management
Department compared to total number of employees within a company.
For
example, how many supervisory and how many hourly employees do most
companies have in their RM Department and do those employees do
imaging
and/or microfilming or is that type of work outsourced.  For example,
we
are a consumer owned electric utility with a total of approximately
450
employees.  We have one supervisory employee, one hourly Group Leader,
and three hourly Records Management Assistants, plus we use occasional
temporary employees.  These people do everything that has to do with
records management including mail handling.  With the exception of
myself as the supervisor, everyone does a certain amount of scanning
documents into the imaging system.  We are also considering
outsourcing
a backlog of records that need to be imaged because it is not possible
for our staff to keep up with current imaging and do the backlog too.
I
could not find anything similar to this in the Archives or on the ARMA
site.  If anyone knows of such a list that is available that would
give
me company size and size of records management department, I would
appreciate it.  If not, I would appreciate that information from some
people on the list.  Thanks for your help.
