The process of stabilization of the insular institution has allowed 756 workers to consolidate their positions.
The president of the Consell de Mallorca, Llorenç Galmés, accompanied by all the executive councillors of the island institution, attended the swearing-in ceremony of 357 new civil servants and labour staff who have obtained a permanent position after passing the stabilisation process at the Consell de Mallorca and the Mallorcan Institute of Social Affairs (IMAS).
The new career civil servants, formerly interim staff, and the new labour staff, formerly temporary, have passed the merit-based or competitive examination procedure to obtain a permanent position as public workers in the special administration corps.

357 new civil servants and labour staff take office at the Consell de Mallorca
Amongst the new civil servants and new employees, there are tourist information assistants, agricultural engineers, porters, physical education and sports science technicians, art historians, philologists, and civil engineers, amongst others. Specifically, 106 new workers have taken up their posts at the Consell de Mallorca, 250 at the Instituto Mallorquín de Asuntos Sociales (IMAS) and one at the Agencia de Defensa del Territorio (ADT).
President Llorenç Galmés congratulated the new civil servants on obtaining their posts and assured them that ‘it is because of your effort, dedication and commitment to public service. As civil servants of the Consell de Mallorca, you have a great responsibility: to serve the citizens. For this reason, I encourage you to carry out your duties with professionalism, integrity and a vocation for service. The president stressed that ‘this whole process has been possible thanks to the great work done by the Mallorcan School of Public Administration (EMAP), in charge of managing the stabilisation process and the tribunals, and the great commitment and effort of this government team to reduce the temporary employment rate of public employees to the levels required by state regulations and to achieve greater job stability’.
In December 2023, the Consell de Mallorca began the process of stabilisation, and welcomed the calls for the general and special administration of the island institution, the Mallorcan Institute of Social Affairs and the Agency for the Defence of the Territory. Likewise, through EMAP, it took on the stabilisation processes of 29 local entities, their autonomous bodies and municipal public companies, to jointly carry out the processes and manage them in a coordinated manner.
On 1 February the first civil servants of the stabilisation process took office, 35 to be precise; on 8 April 152 workers were sworn in as career civil servants for the same reason; on 12 July 148 more civil servants consolidated their posts at the island institution, and on 23 September was the last new civil servants to be sworn in, with 64 new posts. In total, 756 civil servants between the Council of Mallorca, the IMAS and the ADT have already taken up their posts.
The aim of the stabilisation process is to reduce temporary employment in the Administration, as state regulations establish that the rate must be reduced to 8% and, before the call for applications, it stood at 80% in the Consell de Mallorca.
