Civil service heroes: This is how committed civil servants change life!

Brixlegg, Österreich - On September 5, 2024, State Secretary Claudia Plakolm honored the outstanding civil servants of the year in a festive framework in the Viennese sofi halls. The federal victory went to David Rohrmoser, who worked as a "senior whisperer" in St. Josefsheim in Brixlegg. The community service has developed into a supporting pillar in the social and care sector in recent years, which is also evident in the increase in the number of civil servants. According to a current study, 84 percent of the needsers in the social system have used this support. Plakolm emphasized that the civil servants will work around 16 million working hours annually and that even more civil servants are required in 2025 to cope with the increasing requirements, such as reported.

A study by the Vienna University of Economic Affairs shows that nine out of ten civil servants would again choose this service. The civil service study for 2024 indicates an economic effect of 1.8 billion euros, which underlines the relevance and necessity of this form of service. "Civil service has developed from an unpopular evil into a respected service," said Plakolm and emphasized the valuable work of the civil servants, which make an important contribution in various areas, from nursing to emergency service support. This positive development and the recognition of the civil servants contributes to strengthening social cohesion, such as civil service.gv.at

The winners come from different federal states and offer an impressive spectrum of commitment and empathy. The nominations for "civil servants of the year" reflect the variety of tasks and the positive effect on the people who are looked after. The event emphasized the stories of civil servants who not only do their compulsory service, but also create valuable moments of life for the people they work with. These initiatives show how important community service is for society and what valuable support the civil servants offer the specialists in the social and care sector.
